I've discovered (much to my shcok and terror) that I have been posting at about three in the morning. After hours of painstaking tests, I've concluded that this might have some affect on the response time of others, due to the fact that they may be asleep!
Thanks

Actually, I'd say over half the members of the Cytheran board are from places outside the US. Personally, it is annoying to me when I come back and people have responded to each other ten times. It's hard to catch up and I miss all oppertunity to post something that I thought relevant in the meantime. At most I post twice on a specific topic in one day, and even then they are (almost) always a few hours apart

Well, if you can prod cache a bit, not only will you have a very short wait for your replies, but also you can read what some others are calling a very interesting TS, that has fallen off the topic list.

*thinks* New Zealand, Australia, Germany, Norway, and two from Canada...so as long as we've no more than 6 Americans, you'd be right, Theo. (I really hope I didn't miss anyone. >_< )

Oh. Well, I guess I did think you had left completely, but that explains your recent posts on this board. I suppose it might have been hard to tell without most of the stories on hold.
I hope that cleared up any miskonceptions people might have had. But we'll see, won't we?

Oh, so close...I had almost missed it in my rush, but the misspelling of misconceptions was a give away 
And the details! A comma and a new paragraph to separate the words (although a period would have been better than a comma). Not bad (for a beginner)
Kestrel, do you count as one or two? If two, Ronin counts as...yeah...

I used a comma as some of us like forming what we call "complex sentences." You know, something more than short statements. That gets annoying fast. It also seems pointless. Don't you agree?

Actually...think what would happen if short sentences didn't exist...we'd be using run-on sentences a lot more.
Well, we strayed off topic, didn't we? From our locations to sentence structure...Then again, I guess it's better than one-track minds, eh?

Well, Avatara, such things do matter. I mean, it's the same thing with spelling. Sure, it may be possile to understand you, but don't you hate reading misspelled words?
I figure, if your going to take the time to do something like this, atleast do your best... well, unless your kinda short on time

In other news, orange migration season has started. You should be aware of these viscious creatures, they are classified as extremely dangerous and seductive. These man-eating delicacies have already caused several fatal accidents, the least of which an overturned semi on I-95. Check under your tires and make sure you're in full battle gear if you decide to journey outside.

Since we're all being random today, (I'm not even going to bother translating the codes...) I'm going to translate Theo's sig before Cache does!

Would that I could take High Elven instead of Spanish at my school 
I only learned a few direct words, and that was years ago...I think they were the colors...
I ment to have something about the 'years passing' in my sig, but there goes that. It makes a lot of sense to me, regardless.
