While honored to be in such august company, I have no freakin' idea what you are talkin' about-- I have no authority on Poly (or much of anywhere else actually-- ask my wife )

Why ? You obviously have the time. . . . and I am not aware that anyone has ever studied the political orientations of DLs

Allow me to clarify. Only a switch throwing capitalist has the capacity to amuse themselves in that way. I don't know what time has to do with it. Actually I work. That's real work, not just throwing switches.

NO clarity added-- I work too btw. but are you saying that a non-capitalist could not amuse themselves with DLs or other internet style pranks?

I didn't realize that you went for such stereotypical views.

Hi there.

I weaned myself off games for my final PhD year (2007), and now I'm a postdoc in Switzerland. Well, I'm now CLOSER to civilisation, I suppose...

My Civ Chronicles ( + BtS) set is on my shelf, shining gloriously down at me. I just wish there was more time to play it.

Well, atleast you are still breathing without the aid of a machine...BTW, as a post doc, are you teaching undergrads?

[Lancer]

If a post is sick I know who to call.

Oh, come to think of it, have you looked at any of AC's posts?

AC posts need a chiropractor.

Yup, it's almost all I do. I currently have 4 postgrad students; one Indian, one Chinese, one French and one Swiss, and I tutor first year thermodynamics/relativity...in FRENCH. I had little idea if I could explain special relativity in English before I started there, let alone French. Supervised a formal test all alone today - the boss and all other assistants are overseas are on holiday early for the long weekend, the bounders!

Whose posts? I see that abbreviation and all I can think of is Alpha Centauri or alternating current. One of which I've dealt with too much recently, and the other of which I'm still waiting for Firaxis to announce with the number "2" after it.

Don't ask. Just don't.

They should at least have the heart to inform them that they were unable to write do to being unaware they were contacted to begin with. You know, have the kindness to drop em a note.

TCO, eh, too much troll opportunity to pass up and I'll buy it.
