judging from the formality of his English, his habit of complaining with "authorities" about the outrageous inadequacy of services provided and his general over-use of the word "therefor[e]", i'd have said he's GermanOriginally Posted by optimisticnad
or else he's an American trying to sound intelligent

Hahaha, and here I am thinking how nice everyone on this forum is XD
You're human after all ^_^
Oh, and in my oppinion he is very silly indeed!

Well... I registered here in 2005 but for some reason I was unable to post messages. I logged in, it said "Hello Aiculik" but when I tried to post, a message "You have no right to post messages" appeared every time. So I sent 2 or 3 emails so admins, but they all returned to me as "unable to deliver". It was very frustrating... Made me feel like this:
- After few months, I gave it up. And I never wanted to hear about this site any more.
Then, few weeks ago, I was looking for some books available online, and I remembered this site. I tried to register (had to ask for a new password and this time my emails obviously came wherever it was necessary) and to post - and it worked. I still have no idea what was wrong. It can't have been in the password, because in that case I wouldn't be able to log in, either.
It is true however that according to the test, my IQ increased for 2% since 2005. So maybe back then it somehow knew that I'm missing 2% to be a real genius and prevented me to post.
Although it appears that he had spelt Therefore wrong by spelling it Therefor, the spelling is actually acceptable and appears in both forms in my 1918 library edition Stormonths dictionary.(sorry just thought i'd point that out.) also it is quite easy to misspell when typing. I do it all the time so i dont think its right slagging him over that.
As for the IQ thing....I'm with cuppajoe. I dont trust anyone who blatently says stuff about the Registared high IQ. But then again i personally dont like IQ tests. I dont think they truely achieve a persons Intellegence. I dont like how a majority of the tests are matamatical in format. I'm not very good at maths so when i do iq tests i always get an average. For me most of my intellegence and knowledge is in History,Archaeology, geology, Literature, art,and Parapsychology, Which dont nesessarilly turn up in an iq test. I'm not scientific, matamatical and am alright with logic. I can find my way around the internet better than i can around a sum. This forums navagation is as easy as counting one two three.....
Does my babbling make any sense?

This is great, I love this kind of stuff! Sometimes, I feel like I have too much time on my hands: rereading my own posts, ego based stuff like that. Many times, I've signed up for a forum which turned out, for one reason or another, to not hold any value for me (pardon the split infinitive). So what did I do? I JUST STOPPED GOING THERE!
Now here's a guy, who, not only wants to leave, but needs to convince the rest of us to go as well. To me, somehow, this makes me feel more comfortable being here.
I wonder if you have to be "certifiable", to have a "certified IQ".
nothing wrong with split infinitives
As in 'to boldly go where no man has split before'
This just cracked me up!
He can't use the website and he's blaming the site's owner for it?

SPELT:
Function: noun
Etymology: Middle English, from Old English, from Late Latin spelta, of Germanic origin; perhaps akin to Middle High German spelte split piece of wood, Old High German spaltan to split -- more at SPLIT
: an ancient wheat (Triticum spelta syn. T. aestivum spelta) with spikelets containing two light red grains; also : the grain of spelt

Christ takes the slums out of the people and then they take themselves out of the slums. Christ changes men, who then changes their environment. The world would shape human behavior, but Christ can change human nature." ~ Ezra Taft Benson

I'm a bit confused. Are you cracking a joke or taking the piss out of me? If its the former, fair enough. If its the latter do you mind explaining why, seeing as spelt is the correct term for having spelled something?!

This is by far the funniest thread on the whole site. Laughed out loud several times. So everyone should be really grateful for Anton's e-mail. (For he's a jolly good fellow ...
I'm rather new here and had some problems at the beginning. Just asked in the "introduction" thread and - lo and behold! - some kind souls answered instantly.
A minute ago, I thought, "How can I rate this site and give it five stars?"Went to the little arrow next to the stars and actually voted!!!
Edit: How come we laugh most about other people making a fool of themselves? Every comedy has it.
Ah i see. Oh well i dont really care. I find it rude when people point out spelling and grammer mistakes. For gods sake nobody is perfect.
