Someone trying to register on TubeNet.

[WoodSheddin]

I have tried (tonight) 16 times to register as a member of your TubeNet site. Every stinking time I try to register, your system tells me that the moniker I have chosen is already taken. But it won't allow me to check your member list to see if this is true, for I cannot log in.

I summoned all of my magical powers and even sacrificed a couple of goats, but was still unable to read your mind as to which moniker you are speaking of. I will try to get some nail of toad's foot to add to my potions.

Just what exactly doI need to do to get into this site? Kiss somebody? Donate to a charity? Just tell me, and I will do it, but as I see it, you just don't want new members.

I really have no need for additional members who are rude.

I was told by one of your members to join here, but so far your web hosts have made this totally impossible.

Computers are difficult to figure out sometimes. Check the local bookstores. They have large computer and internet sections which provide lots of reading on how to operate a computer.

Please respond. If I don't hear from you, I'll go somewhere else, but it will be YOUR loss, not mine.

I am willing to accept that loss.

Hey! That was my mother you were talking about!

[windshieldbug]

Darn! I guess "Spammer01" is taken!

[trseaman]

WOW!

Actually...

It's too bad you can't take care of all the *** holes before they sign up! You got lucky and caught this one! Hopefully he won't figure out his computer and become a real member...

Lessee, this person has a "friend" who told them to join, but that "friend" can't check either...
and the first 16 names you try are already taken... hmmm....

[tubatooter1940]

There's always that ten percent!

Please respond. If I don't hear from you, I'll go somewhere else, but it will be YOUR loss, not mine.

I am willing to accept that loss.

No kidding!

Well, you could let the gentleman/gentlewoman in, just to give Doc, Dale, Wade and Joe something to chew on...

You know, looking back at this guy . . . I'll bet he had a World Class Sound®!

Could it have been our old friend KBG, having finally figured out how to register, now thoroughly pissed off, and ready to cause turmoil, torment and tears throughout Low Note Land?

What sayeth the Freak Jury on this one?

I think there is more of a surplus of assholes than you imagine.

The big mistake he made was assuming that 1.) Sean is not a person but a Committee of distant, user-hating robots, and 2.) because of the first item, he forgot to restrict his comments to what might be safely said within range of Sean's real balled fist.

It IS hard to deal with that sense of entitlement, and also someone who is not up to the minimal creativity that every other current TubeNet user is.

That being the case, I'd say that I'd continue to recommend such a "difficult" entry test for all users in the future!

Absolutely!!!

Hey! I resemble that remark also! But in addition to all that, I slug down at least a 1/2 bottle of the champagne as I'm being shown the door!

[WoodSheddin]

As far as my own "membership" here is concerned, I view myself as that completely uninvited party guest who is a slob, ate about 40% of the food (mostly just the shrimp, crab claws, and caviar), f@rted out loud/in close quarters, smoked cigars (scrounged from the desk in the library room) around non-smokers, told off-color jokes, insulted the host, and was gently ushered out to the curb...

bloke "...but who continues to sit on the curb, and won't leave"

except, to date, I have been too much of a dumba$$ to effectivelly stop the shenanigans

[bearphonium]

When I first signed up, I couldn't get signed on. I waited, then I could. It was pretty simple. I, too, have been shown the door on occasion, lurk on forums, do impolite things in polite company just to show I'm not--and hate spam.
