>>>>>>>>>>>Hi everybody,
>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>>I have a 10th anniversary today with the site. I can not measure how much did I learn from using it that long and being around such great minds as we had here: Ed Rauh, George Tasker, Larry Miller, Vlad G, Alexander Golovlev and many many others.
>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>>I tried to stop using this site in last 2 years couple of times and I always returned back... It's an addiction for me that it's almost impossible to break.
>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>>Anyway, to all the great members here - cheers! :)
>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>Congratulations on your 10 year anniversary. I think now you're supposed to buy us all presents.
>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>Somehow I was under the impression it's the other way around :)
>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>Oh. Well, if that's how it works, then, forget I mentioned it. ;)
>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>Actually, for birthdays it's traditional for the person to bring in their own treats (at least where I've worked). Seems pretty backwards.
>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>Naomi, I like brownies.
>>>>>>
>>>>>>Hmmm. In the UK Brownies are young girl guides, ie the girl equiv of cub scouts to boy scouts.
>>>>>
>>>>>Here they're junior Girl Scouts, the American version of Girl Guides. And when chopped finely and added to chocolate, flour and milk make a dang fine snack!
>>>>
>>>>We do have girl scouts now, as well as the guides. Guides wear a blue, flight attendant-like uniform and brownies, (as in pixies), wear a brown and gold uniform.

>>>>So people don't get the wrong idea we'd say "I like chocolate brownies" :-)
>>>>
>>>
>>>What's surprising is that there is a need to specify the chocolate part...

>>Or that it makes it better :-| it is so hard to be PC these days.

>As opposed to being considered a perv because 'you like Brownies!'

I was a network admin in my previous life and when a new employee came to the City I would create a login with password along with the appropiate rights on the system. When I gave them their packet I disclosed the password along with instructions on how to change it. It seems many times I was stumped on how to come up with a word or word combination for the password that didn't seem like it *could* be offensive. I understood Mikes post, but my mind immediately went - screetch - hold on that might be a problem too. It sometimes hard to wrap my mind around things that would never offend me but then I am not prejudice against much and not smart enough to know when I should be offended anyway. Cheers;
