ayep.
as the county I voted in has used the colored in ovals and optical scanner for several decades, rather than the chad-style, ballot.

Last Chronicle Spoiler:

Spoiler
I love SRD. I love the Chronicles, but I remember the first time I read the Second Chronicles thinking what happened to Thomas - why does the whole thing seem to be Linden. I've had the same feeling in the Last Chronicles. I don't doubt that somehow all of them will save the day in the end, but I really enjoyed the end of AATE when Covenant went off on his own to deal with Joan. He is the character I've come to love the most. Still, SRD can just flat out write and I'd read anything he did.

To write a post about how to use tags, you can select the "Disable BBCode in this post" option, which can be found in the Options section when constructing a reply. Then your tags will be ignored.

This shows how to create a [spoiler]spoiler[/spoiler].

Spoiler Training

Post by rehabguy1960 »

Sorry, didn't mean to hijack the thread and turn it into a tutorial. Still learning.

Thanks for the info. (If I weren't posting at work, I could take more time and figure out how to do those things, but you never know who's looking over your shoulder.

Heh, it's not the first time, and sure won't be the last time we go off topic, LOL. Plus, it's only a THOOLAH poll thread, it's not like we interupted a Deep Meaningful Chronicles Dissection or Political or Philosophical Debate :twisted:

I resemble that remark :biggrin: And I would hazard that the liveliest (though, by their nature, probably not the deepest :lol:) Last Chrons debates of recent times are those where THOOLAH has endeavoured to bring the benighted into the Light!

Hey, this is philosophy! Your view of Linden Avery is rooted in your self, in your experiences and past, your outlook on life. Which is why THOOLAH is better, we're realists. :)

The option should be at the top of each page. If you are of THOOLAH you should CONTACT THE MODS IMMEDIATELY, YOUR VOTE OF OF THE UTMOST IMPORTANCE! Otherwise, it's no biggie :lol:

Sorry, voting is over. As usual in the real world, the side of good, ie. THOOLAH, lost. Drat.

I disagree...if you took all the THOOLAH descriptions of Linden and asked peeps what they thought, they'd mostly agree with THOOLAH, especially those who never read it.
So, as is UNusual in the real world...the right people win. But just like the real world, if something bad happens NOW, the right people will get blamed for EVERYTHING, even stuff they were against.

the difference between evidence and sources: whether they come from the horse's mouth or a horse's ass.
"Most people are other people. Their thoughts are someone else's opinions, their lives a mimicry, their passions a quotation."
the hyperbole is a beauty...for we are then allowed to say a little more than the truth...and language is more efficient when it goes beyond reality than when it stops short of it.
