Abdhul loves it. As a list gets its share of attention in a community it naturaly also has its share of lame posters, sheer trolling and sometimes just a basic course of trying to get around with ones emotions and the flame goes on. hopefully, we will have our own local 'kadaitchaman' or a 'johnbailo'-like posters (usenet, comp.os.linux.advocacy) so we'll be having party all the time :} j/k Honestly, when i opened mr.HUNs msg early this morning i was expecting that it would be accepted and treated as is, naturaly. As what most filipinos had accepted sms-style writing as some sort of a sophisticated(sic) culture that most of the newer generations claimed it to be. Since we all know that almost everyone is using it: from filipine Senators to a an LTO janitorial belching arrogantly, commanding someone to lineup, while proudly flashin its cellphone around. But then i see that a lot had reacted to HUNs 'improper' sms-like writing, and am glad about it. (id celebrate) Just my personal comment about 'texting': I really hate cellphone texting capabilities. It has ruined 'good human conversations' lately. I wondered if some of had exprienced this. but like, for example, when you're having a good talk with somebody, wheter that be an important conversation or not, and then, all of a sudden the person's cellphone starts to emit those freaking "downloadable tones" (as they proudly say). And then you have to wait like a minute or so, while the person is busy steaming up his thumb, crunchin all those tiny buttons or so of his cellphone, flashing a wide smile on his face, all focused to that tiny monitor of his/hers. Then you have to pretend that everything seems normal to you and continue with that precious topic of yours and like .. "..and dude, kumusta na si kwan..", and the textdude would glare at you blankly for a moment then focused its attention to the cellphone once again, leaving you with a wide smile, like you have to figure for yourself if everything was right or wrong. most of the time, the textdude would look around like he/she was figuring an item in a defferential c. finals or something, and sometimes all of a sudden she would flash that wicked smile once again, and seems oblivious to everythin she's/he's saying, and like, she's/he's thinking like, "..what is up with this guy, talking to me, while im busy texting my replies in here!.. ". Yes folks, it is happening, like all the time. Personaly, i did not expect technology to go this way. i remem. when i was a cute kid back then <ahem>, when you have read all those Asimovs and Sagans and Clarks and folks are subscribed to pop. mech. or pop sci. mags, and you've dreamt about technology and future techs and the naturally good, discipline of humanity to normaly coincide with each other. and then realized all those dreams were wrong. Some would then say: "..well, texting is the same thing with telephones, and or computers, get out of your cave once in a while mr. flintstone..", but i tell you, it is quite different. when a telephone (or cellphone) rings, you *intend* to respond to it. if you are a well mannered person, you say your excuse(if having another conversation with someone) and go over to the telephone and resond to the person behind that line. When you *intend to email something, you open your computer and start to type, and after you're finished sending, you get away from the computer and do other human activities. The same as true with other techno stuff like example a video conferencing and all. When you want to talk to an eskimo on the other side of the globe, you *intend* to open a connection to your eskimo friend, and after that, you close the connection and the conversation ends,. and go on with other things in life. Well, on 'texting' thing, everyone is bringing with them their text gadgets all the time, anywhere. And everytime this freaking gadget beeps, you respond by taking out your cellphone and clicking to see whats written in there, don't know if the message is important or not, at that moment,.. of your precious lifetime. then found out that its another copied/unoriginal forwarded *friendly* message from some friend of yours. *pfft*. Or if the message is important, the whole thine looked like a freaking unsyntaxed perl script from hell or something. Now, everytime that happens, then you have to re-send another response to clarify the whole thing out, and the querant again responded with another 1 peso worth of bandwidth, to restate the whole grammer and the whole topic cost like about 10-30 pesos after everything is finaly settled, and of course you havent had a slight idea if that person, after that 'conversation' was furious or actually flirting at your.
