Hi,

I noticed some errors in your post again.

1) The first word, "has", is the start of the sentence and should have the first letter capitalised.

2) "I" is always capitalised, even in the middle of the sentence.

3) As you are asking a question, your sentence should end with a question mark.

Glad to be of service, and have a nice day!

The title should really have capitalized first letters, too.

Always happy to tease help

Now now, you're tempting extreme newbie-bashing.

I haven't read the "Fighting Fantasy Gamebooks" themselves, but I read those kinds of books when I was a kid (not so much anymore). I liked them, but they were sometimes goofy. Are these any good?

It goes beyond "ironically amused" into "annoying eye rolling" when I see The Bot attempt a newbie smack down.

I've never been subjected to newbie smackdown, so it's not "ironic", nor eye-rolling. Plus, I never "committed" the smackdown, only threatened it.

So HA!

SE has been attempting to smack you down, the_bot. It usually consists of being condescending and making snide remarks :P

I used the bulldozer approach, myself.
If you're ever in an argument and Entropy winds up looking staid and temperate in comparison, it might be time to cut your losses and start a new thread about something else :)

You only think that because you're dense.

Ok, now I've been subjected to smackdown, not because I'm a newbie, but because e is prejudiced.

or just because I haven't ever read a post from you that contributed without sounding stupid. But go ahead and think i'm prejudiced if that makes you sleep better without having to improve yourself.

Ok I'm getting really sick of all these threads about who's a newb and who isn't.

The_Bot stop making smackdown threats, you haven't earned that right yet.  

SE stop calling the bot stupid.  It's one thing to insult someone who ignores the rules and acts like a moron, it's another to insult someone who's trying to follow the forum rules.  Make fun of him all you want, I don't care about that, but you're being too harsh and just insulting him because he hasn't been around all that long.
