No kidding! But they're nothing compared to the Internet Archive Wayback Machine. I'm pretty sure Google throws away the older data after its updated, while the Wayback Machine keeps everything.

Well, the number of times Google had cached information I needed is large, but only marginally larger than the number of times I searched Wayback unsuccessfully. Apparently, the Wayback Machine does not crawl any of the sites I need, even after I try to submit the address.

Also, Alo, does that mean you eat the delivery men?

I tap my nose at you, Aran. I tap it vigorously.

Graemlins/Smilies/Emoticons can be used to illustrate movement and physical gestures. However, over use of them tends to get you labelled as an idiot at best, or n00b at worst.

And, speaking of the delivery men... I heard that they were terribly chewy and greasy since they are mostly teenagers/overweight balding middle-aged men who are forced to do the job.

(Oh, and apologies to any delivery men/women. I still want goods and packages sent to my house. But you probably should use Royal Mail if you don't want abuse.)

I suppose all delivermen nowdays are unknown bums that nobody cares about anymore except that they need to hurry up and get their ordered package delivered.

*slaps forehead once again*

All delivery men are most definately not bums, nobodys, or insignificant-beneath-us miscreants. More likely they are the hard working middle class who have two/three jobs to keep food on the table for their growing family. If you think that anyone has noone to care about them, then you should be first in line to start caring. Stop worring about your post count and start worring about the stuff you're actually saying.

Well then, for goodness sake, say that in the first place. Or at least make it more obvious...

Sorry to be jumpy. The inferrence that any type of job is only for the most lowly is a sore spot for me.

I would be very surprised to see any prominent member of these forums making such a statement seriously.

EDIT: I think I have bad grammer, but I don't know what to do.

Well Drew, maybe you could point me in the right direction instead of not doing so.

Good points there. I think you're right. The wide range of sites Google has indexed, and the depth in which they're cached, I think would outweigh the narrower, shallower, though more chronologically comprehensive cache stored by the Internet Archive.

I'd like to point you to my post (just above Ben's). I also kinda did this, albeit in a jokey way. It ain't fair that Ben gets all the negativity for this, since I'm the ringleader, as it were.

Oh, and if anyone would like to host a picture, I've decided to post one of myself...

Sorry - I was mainly going for the funny. :)

Your sentence appears to be grammatically correct. I reckon you just think it reads awkwardly. I would rephrase it as follows:

"I would be surprised if any prominent member of these forums were to make such a statement in seriousness."

I needed to put the "seriously" in somewhere, I couldn't really find anywhere else to put it. I still think it is a bit out-of-place.

Most people give in at step 11: "Recognize that it is wrong to use an adverbial subordinate clause as the complement of a linking verb."

Your way changes the meaning. "Serious" was meant to describe the manner in which the statement was spoken not the statement itself.

Yeah, I see what you mean. In that case, stranger's is better. 'Seriously' sounds much better that 'in seriousness'.

Pictures lie, as always. After that particular photo was taken, I have shortened my hair down to all but nothing. I'm also very lazy to shave. So I look like a cross between a muslim fundamentalist and Shrodinger.

The next one was taken in London, last year. That explains the haircut.
