Please don't make posts like that. You get everyone to come in here to see what's up only to read "Ahh..." "lol"
That is VERY irritating. If you have nothing of substance to actually add; just don't post. Thank you.

Everytime I see that decapitated seal I die a little on the inside. :(

Way back long ago on another site, any new member that picked this one certain avatar would, for some reason or another, not last very long at all.
 It became an inside joke that whoever chose that avatar would be banned shortly. That avatar was some blue dude's face. Well, it turned out that both BizB and I were using it whenever we would ban someone here as a sort of 'trademark'. Since BizB was using that one, I decided to pick another to use as a trademark; a somewhat 'appropriate' one. I picked the headless seal pup because I thought that was a near perfect choice. N00bs kinda remind me of floundering seal pups, and banning them is akin to lopping off their heads. It was the perfect choice.
  Now however, it's different. I don't use the seal anymore and BizB doesn't use the blue ..."dude". It's gotten too confusing to some of the members, so we can't play like that anymore. Anyone with a headless seal avatar now picked it on their own for some sick, macabre reason.

 Please don't die anymore! :-(

I dunno about your points. I haven't smacked ya. Probably someone who came in and read "Ahhh..."   

 ...see what I mean?  :wink: 

 Seriously:

 1. Don't worry about the points unless you just have an ego with an appetite; or a 'they don't like me' complex. They aren't really for anything serious. So far you're doing fine.
 
 2. Whenever you go to hit the post button; stop for a second and imagine someone else just made that post, and you are waiting on your dial-up to load that page.  .   .   .  then... when it. . . . . finally does; all you get for your trouble is three letters; not even a word. "Ahh" or " lol" or "me too" . Now you have to wait for the Main page to load again before checking out the next post. . . .
 
  That's really the main reason we *usually* frown on such posts being a habit. Every now and then is not so bad; especially when your three letter reply is -in itself- funny (or informational). I didn't mean to sound (read) like I was fussing at you; just informing you so you dont run afoul of anyone (Mod or a regular) in the future.

 Carri On!

Okay.  I am surprised I did not think of that, seeing as I have dial-up.  I appreciate your advice, and I will always make a point to contribute something to the conversation.

Apparently not wise enough.

I have nothing to add to this conversation except for the startlingnews that I have nothing to add to this conversation.
