Ok, you know what? This isn't working. I'm out of here. You want to talk to me, drop me a mail. I might check my /msgs. I might not. I might post, but I haven't been here in ages, so I won't make guarantees. A job would be cool. E-mail at bgarney AT purdue DOT edu if you have one in the Portland area. I am a programmer, with a resume at http://xyzzy.mbuti.org/~bgarney/resume/. Thank you. I have a girl-shaped hole in me. I'm a freshman at Purdue University. What more to say? I am a member of the LAWG and other things. More as news warrants. My Hall of Resurrected Nodes: Much more than XP, I believe that /msg's are important.After all, a vote has only 2 bits of information associated with it - up/down, voted/not. Certainly, there's a lot to be learned from 'em, but not much more than you could probably tell yourself (especially if you've been noding for a while). But a /msg... That has practically infinite information storage potential. Though it be stupid and impractical, you could store all of E2 in /msgs... A /msg says that you care. You can say, "This node sucks!", or "I really like this node!", and, though they aren't a replacement for votes (not at all - they do not even overlap), I consider the /msgs much more important to a noder, because it lets said noder get accurate and unambiguous information as to other people's opinions of their nodes. Although I may transcend XP, /msg's will always keep their significance to me. My Nodegel Total dishonesty: 4423.35 rep, 316091.56 hours. Average dishonesty: 15.20 rep per node, 1086.23 hours per node.
