Hello, this little thing here "," is called a comma. They are generally used to delineate lists of items from one another. On most US style keyboards they can be found next to the "M" key.

They are invaluable when it comes to making your posts readable. If your posts are readable you'll fit in well here, otherwise your stay will be short.

Telling us what music you listen to really tells us about yourself.

There is nothing that I can say at this point.

hexjunkie · « **Reply #13 on:** June 16, 2008, 12:29:47 AM »

I believe my brain just imploded.

So to keep this forum going... May I inquire how you feel a forum would make you more intelligent and how that will help the others your going to college with? Has college become so mentally hebetudinous that you feel the need to impart the wisdom from a few internet forum postings? This reminds me so much of the guy in my office that thinks the "Onion" is a real news paper because he found it in print.

The Geek Forum - Brought to you by The Geekery

The word geek is a slang term, noting individuals as "a peculiar or otherwise odd person, especially one who is perceived to be overly obsessed with one or more things including those of intellectuality, electronics, gaming, etc." -wiki

ergo I read, post, and get some opinions and ideas. I moved into a new town and friends don't come easy espesically in the summer. Why not introduce myself and get a new look on things? There are plenty of assholes in this forum as well as grammar Nazis. I feel really welcome.

I thought we already established that it's not forums that make you smart, it's listening to Rush.

Joe Sixpack · « **Reply #19 on:** June 16, 2008, 11:18:36 AM »

It could just be that the smarter you are, the more likely you are to listen to Rush, so the relationship is not necessarily causal.

L · « **Reply #20 on:** June 16, 2008, 11:20:32 AM »

wait
so if you dont listen to rush...in theory, you are not smart?

Yep, that's us. If you'd taken some time to read a couple threads you'd have come to this conclusion before posting.

Glad you're feeling welcome, we try.

According to my own observations, you are less likely to be, yes.
For now I'm guessing you are not a Rush fan.

Please refer to my second post. Mind the post was originally a list off of my myspace.

Nice having Of Montreal on your list.

Also glad to see that somebody else watches the Big Bang Theory. I thought I was alone in that.

Welcome.
