Now a contest. How did I process this post?

1) Word
2) Ctrl+c
3) Don't care
4) Something else (post below)


4) this contest is ridiculous.

I generally burn them to CD as well as saving on a flash card, and print up a hard copy, laminate it, and file it under a carefully organize filing system that use a 12 number file code to keep them organized by site, thread, date, time, and who the poster I replied to was. I would tell you about how I store the file cabinet, but that gets to complicated.

I always use ctrl+e, ctrl+c for long posts. But for very long posts I use Notepad instead (and save them to HD if Poly goes down while Iīm writting, I did this just once )

Rule of thumb..

if it takes too long to post then it may be,infact, TOOOO long and well..Dun post because most wont read a long post as it becomes too burdensome for the average reader to follow and average poster to keep a simple train of thought and I wish I was in the land of cotton old time their is not forgotten look away, look away, look away dixieland and then when you refocus you are trying to remember then you think someone may be posting in another thread so you hurry up and then ofrget..

Ok point made, I rectum and point taken ~ouchie~

Peace
