Beware! Beware the Deja! Oh yes. My newsfeed currently sucks, and I've actually been reduced to doing vanity searches on Deja to make sure I didn't overlook any responses to my posts or stories of how I've made a complete arse of myself. It's a good thing I didn't start out with any dignity to speak of. This use of Deja is just the beginning. It's a vicious circle. It starts out with you having a bad newsfeed and after the obligatory drugs and madness, you find yourself posting from a WebTV box with no keyboard, connected via RF adapter to a 14 inch black and white TV with a screwdriver stuck in as a surrogate antenna and a blown speaker wringing out sports results at 110 DBa because the volume control doesn't work. The volume control doesn't work! I SAID THE VOLUME CONTROL DOESN'T WORK! FUCK SHOULD I KNOW WHY IT DOESN'T? I'M NO TECHNICIAN, I JUST *USE* THIS DAMN THING! I CAN'T HEAR YOU, THIS TV IS TOO LOUD! OH GREAT, I'M POSTING IN ALL CAPS. ...does anybody know a WoT character I can use as a screen name? -- Roy G. Ovrebo Not sent via Deja.com Not quite yet, anyway.
