Originally Posted By MPierce I just personally favor the ability to: -quote (in an easily identifiable manner) There's nobody here at LP really worth quoting. -edit Half the fun is in seeing that eveybody else here is a dummy too. -search for posts or posters It's a small forum. If they are online they'll be posting. If they're not posting they're lurking, and don't want to talk with you anyway, if they are not online it means their boss caught them goofing off here on Lp, and they are now inline at the unemployment office. -send pm's Do you really want to hear from a bunch of people that you don't care enough about to give them your e-mail address to beginn with? -attach images to aid in discussion A good writer does not need visual art to aid him in a discussion. Though I must admit I still yearn for pictures of the construction walls on Your's, and Spirits day trip.

Maybe I got tired of the death threats and otherwise on other sites, but I do not feel I am missing out. I have e-mail and I have facebook, people can message me through those media. >>>-attach images to aid in discussion<<< I repeat, I am a mobile user very often with a 3G dongle on a laptop or on my blackberry - those photos get annoying and slow everything down (the LP store is bad enough for that). In fact I hate all the huge photos coming up unless I want to on that Magical place, or Micechat, or Magic Forum or Dis Boards or any of the others - that I occassionally frequent. >>>The lack of such things here on LP, despite my enjoyment of the topics and posters, is what will continue to make my presence here merely occasional. But that's just me...<<< Your choice. To me the intellectual content far outways the pretty packages. Hence LP being my preferred cyberhome.

Originally Posted By davewasbaloo Funny, since I became a dad, I can't seem to drink that early anymore. I remember one year at college we started at 9am one day, but I couldn't now.
Originally Posted By dshyates I can still start drinking at 9am. That is assuming bedtime is around 3pm.
