An apology to everyone on DU (and the lurking freeps, too; why not?)
My server is being moved to another location - that's why my sig line keeps showing up with that awful X icon instead of the image that is supposed to be there.

I feel bad about this enough that I felt I should apologize, since it might be another day or two before it's back up.

Also means I've been without email since Friday, which is a bummer and pain in the butt.

So thanks for your patience! (and to any lurking freepers: thanks for destroying the country that, contrary to what you might believe, I *DO* love)

1. Disable your sig line for a couple of days, you silly nutbag :)
Kidding, of course (about the silly nutbag part)

2. Darnit, Rabrrrrrr!
I was hoping for some kind of 'true confessions'-style apology; - some kind of 'yellow-journalism' tabloid-worthy admission of fault.

4. Are you getting a lot of "I thought you were a dude" recently?
Not that I'm complaining about seeing more of your lovely face, mind.

6. Yes... post some woohoo's about sports...
people think you're a dude. Post some answers to obscure Star Trek trivia, people think you're a dude. Even some folks who previously learned I wasn't a dude may have slipped back into thinking I was a dude.

'course, -you're not one of them.

8. A worthy surprise.
I have to admit, your recently posted photo was not, however your best. And the facial hair is perhaps a tad more avant garde than the world is quite ready for.

9. it's all part of my disguise.
And in my disguise, I look 25 years younger! (and more manly, I think).

But you know me, always pushing the avante garde enevlope.

:hi:

Alright - here's a true confession: I've peed on subway platforms, late at night.

11. Golly, Rabrrrrrr
from their pristine appearance, I'm certain you're the only man on the planet who's ever done such a thing.

:P

3. Why Apologize For Taking Care Of Business?
A simple notice is more than enough and couldn't you have asked a few of us here to set you up with a temporary e-mail account with our ISP's?

:shrug:

7. I have plenty other email accounts to use, but
my main email is the one on the server being moved.

Thanks, though!

19. I Didn't Know
You're more familiar with bytes, electrons, cut-n-paste and the technology than I am.

Just want to return the favor and help out as much as you've helped me in the past.

17. Rabrrrrrr, I have made a decision
You are a nutcase.

And I only give out such compliments sparingly

BTW, your website sucks; it has not connected for 2 days now.

18. Thank you!
Nice to be a nutcase. means I'm not conforming, and I'm still AssKKKroft-free, at least in spirit!

Actualy, the art of my website is in its unreachableness. It symbolizes man's desire to attain the unattainable and that which we are not wise enough to use, and God's refusal to let us have it. It's a parable. Its very non-presence is its meaning.

22. I see, so if the website doesn't work, the idea is to
baffle them with bullshit instead.

Didn't I just work for you in the last couple years?

Nevermind - this sounds like every job I've had in the last 20 years.;-)

23. And I need you to be more proactive, going forward,
as you adjust to the new paradigm of synergistic networking.

Now let's rock and roll!
