Thankyou Francy......I've put a larger post on the other thread which has gone out to "everybody" and do please drop over and have a read, because it is meant for you too. I value your comments.....keep 'em comin'.
Tony. :-)
Tony. :-)
congratulations!
2 earlier comments in the full thread.
I hope he has some idea of what he's gotten himself into. :)
Good luck, Tony. You're going to need it dealing with myself and the assorted cast of characters here.

LXer made a good choice. Congratulations on your new position!
Congratulations, Tony! You will do a great job!
Thanks everybody. I'm finding it "unusual ?" to deal with the warmth and friendship that is coming my way over this announcement - not that I don't appreciate it, but it's very unexpected. I'll do my best and you can occasionally kick my shins as necessary please - that's what friends are for - correction and help without offence intended. And I am very pleased and proud to be part of the best (in my opinion anyway) Linux website on the internet. For content, interest, friendship and discussion, it's tops. Sorry to say this Jdixon, but if you are typical of the "assorted cast of characters" I'm in for a great time.
Thankyou all again.
Tony :-)
Thankyou all again.

We'll roast you later. Enjoy the warmth while it lasts.
Tuxchick.....I am surprised, mentally damaged, psychologically distoibed, "rooned", my fragile psyche has just been irretrievably shattered.......and those words came from a fellow editor.......oh deary me. I take heart in the fact that as "Tuxchick" your pseudonym indicates you will be very averse to roasting feathered brethren.....So, I shall make like a chicken: "Cheep, cheep, cheep......." :-)
PS......it just struck me, many people will have probably read my little screed on the "Team" heading for LXer and possibly wondered about my involvement in the world of fungi. I can help here because the first of my articles for the Qld Mycological Society have just hit their website and you can scroll down and see three images of the lovely fungal species I am currently researching.

They look like seaweed!
Well, their common name really is "coral fungi".....but only because they resemble the branched structures of coral. They normally grow in association/partnership with the roots of trees and help the tree absorb soil nutrients. What you are looking at is the "fruit" of the fungus. All of which has nothing to do with Linux, unless you are typing it all up on a Linux OS and OpenOffice.......which I am.
Sigh, you young people have it so easy. In my day I had to use "vi."
Good on ya, mate.

Good to have another outspoken commentator on the payroll so-to-speak.
Congrats!

Funny you should say that Francy, my Bachelor of Letters thesis had to be done on an electronic typewriter because it had the formatting I needed.........and I had to pay to get it done........Modern wordprocessors are sheer bliss compared to those old tick, tick, tick.......end of line, return carriage -rattle shoooosh thump.........tick, tick, tick........and I left the blasted carbon paper out......start all over again !!! :-)
And the Pressure you had to use on the keys.......RSI candidates here we came.

I looked at the above and thought of one more thing.......today, we just photocopy, but in yesteryear we got multiple copies a very different way.........Can anyone here remember the sheer "joy?" of cutting a stencil with an old fashioned typewriter......and the red correction fluid and the duplicator and the black ink that went ALL over everything.........gimme a word processor, a scanner and a modern printer any day..........
Or the denatured alcohol smell of a barely readable mimeograph?
Purple ink?
gus3: for typing i'd choose vi over libreoffice or any other office product any day.
greetings, eMBee.

@mbaehrlxer: The right tool for the job. vi (or NEdit) for code, LibreOffice for letters via post, and MPlayer/RaspBMC for the background noise. ;-)
Im late to the show as usual, been busy, but my belated congrats to the old Wizard.
Thanks Koriel.......the true owner of my pen-name looks after Unseen University of Magic. He's obstinate, difficult, and cultivates a "clean desk" office by using all his paperwork as fuel for his study fire. Oh, and when he finally latches onto a concept, he's as single minded as a direction locked steam roller. He was irresistible as a pseudonym, because I'm never obstinate, difficult, stubborn.......oh nooooo. Hmm. I'll check with my better half. :-)
