Would you agree that what the internet most needs is a 5-year moratorium on all names starting with "Dark"? There's millions of you buggers.

I can't operate on ICQ.
Possibly IRC... I have mirc.

Personally, I would rather do a straight interview rather than a realtime one... I sort of prefer to see long written out answers to questions.

Anyways, I'm going to see if I can translate all my interview into Spanish for fun- that way I may be able to speak better on the Spanish-Civ II section of the site

As for when I'm on... lets see: I can be on GMT from anywhere from 17-03 on the weekends... and during the week from 24-03 GMT... although at my place of work on Mon, Tue, Wed I could get on around 17 if you <i>really</i> needed me to... although getting on then is not guaranteed.

Although I'm usuallly only on for 30-45 minutes a day.

DC, are you just obsessive compulsive or is there a touch of schizophrenia along with it?


And why do you keep forgetting me?

Why? Dark? Cloud? Of? All?

All he did was making a fool of himself with hundreds of silly error-overcharged lists.

I deserve to be interviewed more.

Echtelion: people with obsessions are always more interesting.

And while I'm sure you're a worthy contestant, what the flying fritz do you expect the poor guy to come up with in terms of questions? "So, is East Germany really so bad as the rap has it?"

hey Andy, trolls don't get interviewed. And your posts lacks a lot of tact

	Tired of ads?

How did you get started in compiling massive lists of information?

How do you manage to complete these massive lists without going insane or getting bored half-way through?

Could you give us a quick list of the lists you've done so far?

What's the wierdest thing that you've discovered in your archiving career?

That's all I can wrack up from my tired and disgruntled brain at this unearthly hour. See if I can get any mroe tomorrow (Victoria Day! Yay!)

I agree with him on this occasion.

No offense, but DarkCloud? There are more deserving choices out there.

Wher can one find your best lists (I haven't seen any yet, and I've been here since December )?

Do you have any works in progress that may take forever?

Do lists impinge on your non-'Poly life much?

And standard things like top 'Poly moments, threads, how many DLs you have...

I would, but I think only people who totally agree with me are worthy of acknowledgement. I'm an ass that way.

What is your occupation in real life? (if you are a student, then what would be the profession that you would prefer to practice?)

Would would be the crowing achievement in list compilation that you aspire to?

And now, a non list-related question:

What are your views on the existance of Internet forums?
