Bars can use mixers like colas, and stores ... technically there are no stores unless they're a participatory joke. Bring a painting to the Home for Wayward Art.

(I know, cheap shot promoting my own art project).

Lip balm = good gift
Used lip balm = bad gift

You really don't need to do any bargaining. This is a gift economy. Give of yorself for the best results.

In 10 years on the playa, I have never had the need to "bargain".

I can't hear a damn thing.

Do I need different software or something?
Different sound card?

...it's a common thing for geniuses like yourself to not understand basic and simple things LIKE THIS MEANS I'M YELLING!!!

...i'm assuming you know that ALL CAPS is yelling and are just being a SMARTY PANTS.

So it's the same thing as calling a typeroom a chatroom?

I prefer caps.
Much easier to read.

Any way to change convention?

YOU CAN ALWAYS SHOUT LIKE THIS!

Does it really come up all that often anyway?

remember that guy DJSIAGO who dropped in and made a bunch of posts a while back in, like, a two day span and they were all capitalized?...I was just trying to nip one of those in the bud.

a typeroom and chatroom would be about the same thing but not even close to a tapeworm or chowtime.

.....nice TALKING to ya.

You can now have a real chatroom, at least if you have some hardware I don't have.

Using capitals would also save me from swearing at my shift key, which seems to have decided it is easier to only make the occasional pretext of working.

Hiya!
