Actually, Hey u 2 - either spell it out or
perhaps we can move to Flame forum. Politely, can you explain your little 'inside joke' sequence openly & honestly. The problem with little mysteries like this is that one might decide it is good humour or one might wonder if it is smart assedness - as I can't see your faces & really have no idea what you are posting here about, I would appreciate a clear explanation (not brush off), else why post in the 1st place.
So I hope when dune I will know if it was pos or neg contribution ??? Thanks Doug

Hey Doug, there are these things here called LPRDisms...
A little inside joke is that the software here is sentient. The LPRDisms at the bottom of the page often seem related to what the post talks about. Several of us post them as they can add a bit of levity.
As Foghorn Leghorn, and the LRPD, said - "It's a JOKE son, I say a JOKE!"
HTH. :-)
Cheers, Scott.

LRPDs
I have asked a couple of others here what LRPD's are & other than being told it means Little Red Pulstaing Dots. Have not made any connection to anything else.
But if I am interpreting what you have said correctly, the 'sayings' that appear at the bottom of some peoples posts, are an IWETHEY computer generated feature ??? If so I had not been aware of it.
But even then, I am not sure how they fit into your & Scott's sequence.
Cheers Doug (PS see my comment to CRC)
#2 (until finally looking at the bottom of the 'whole' page & at last seeing the source of LRPDs :-()

John/Meerkat is generally credited with coming up with the pronunciation in that thread as well, I believe. :-)

Do you post here in your freaking SLEEP, or what?!?
Excuse me, Doug, but how the FUCK did you manage to miss the LRPD for all these months?!?
Are you BLIND, gifted with a photographic memory in the form of a pre-exposed plae, or just plain goddamn asleep at the wheel???
Inquiring minds want to know... (No, they don't! -- Yes they do!) Uh, ehrm: Inquiring minds, in an ambiguously horror-stricken and fascinated kind of way, want and don't want to know.

My turn to fess up -
Ring their bells <worked - g>
Why I said when 'Dune' we will all know.

Doug (CRC, research Dune)
Update: CRC yes I may have actually been posting in my sleep. I am admitting that while I had seen lots & lots of refs to LRPDs & had asked others here (some time back & again recently) what they were & where they were, the responses all assumed I knew they were 'at the bottom of each page' (Scott must keep them in a list somewhere --was last response). Truth is I had not realised that they were appearing at bottom of each page, I had been looking at bottom of each post but had not been able to make an association. So if that makes me asleep at the wheel then I am guilty as hell <grin>

ObLRPD: And there was much rejoicing... yayyyyy.
In case that makes anyone feel like barfing, the LRPD while reading the above was, "Excuse me while I call for a mop." :-)

Must be in reference to the mop comment, I guess:
But I got: "We need to drill for VASELINE in ALASKA!"
