Newbie Looking for some Tips

[Fark]

Fark,

I am still trying to figure you out (as most members might be also). Please answer the following questions:

1. Whats your age (very important at this point)?
2. Whats your location (city/state is fine)?
3. What are your hobbies (don't mention cigars)?
4. What is so hard to understand that you need to ask 20 questions about the same thing?

I am being serious about this and am refraining from hurting your feelings at this point. I am VERY interested in your response.

1. 18 (I'm pretty sure someone here will bring up an issue of mental maturity, right?)

2. Just outside Chicago, IL.

3. I enjoy sports. I play hockey and lacrosse competitively and other sports in IM or rec leagues. I would also consider some aspects of academics to be a hobby (it depends on the subject), Marine Biology, for example, lead to involvement in the hobby of SW Tank and Reef keeping. Other things that I enjoy, but don't get to do as much, would be fishing and hunting, as well as photography.

Edit: I forgot one hobby that I actually participate in everyday... Cars/Motorcycles/Engine work. Sorry Shelby, but it appears we share a hobby. I'm currently rebuilding an '82 Kawasaki 440.

4. This is ironic, but...I don't know which question I asked 20 times. Please point it out. If you're addressing the where/how to apologize, i'll figure it out on my own. I was simply asking, because as I stated earlier, it appears that a fair amount of active users here are easily rubbed the wrong way, and I didn't want to do that again so I figured I would ask to see if there were any potential standards for that sort of thing. If that's not what you're addressing, then I'd be interested to know what you are and will respond at that point.

O.K., I'm gettin' older, and I can't keep track of shit like I used to, so remind me which incredibly simple question are we talking about here? The spelling one, or is it the which cigar to smoke one, or the where do I apologize one?

The where to apologize one...

I think, perhaps, it is not so important where you post it.

...that would depend on whether you're confused or not.

Okay - fair enough. Do you like Ivy? ...or do you disdain the god forsaken stuff???

Fark is currently weighing his options.

He's trying to figure out if it's worth apologizing, and what would be the appropriate means of apologizing (i.e. should he start a new thread?, Use this old thread? etc.).

Have patience, my friend. I'm sure he's diligently working on it as we speak...

I think we may have made a grave mistake. This fella is obviously Presidential material.
