or he is just referring to the fact that as a sign of respect you call officers above you in rank by either rank-ie Captain or rank & name-ie Captain Vortagh

Did Alex ever go RSV? I thought he was one of the guys that poked around just often enough to avoid being declared AWOL

Exactly. I never was sent to the reserves. Just got gifted with parents that tend to buy crappy computer hardware. They actually tried to upgrade my old IBM Aptiva with Windows XP thinking that would make it run better. Instead, it just crashed every other day, got loaded with spyware, and finally got thrown out the window when it crashed on me while I was in the middle of a massive game of StarCraft.

But that was then. I'm active as I can be now.

Ok, to all the new people here I would like to remind you of a few important "semi-official" rules on these (and other) Message Boards:

1.) Thread Necromancy ONLY when you have something *important* and *On Topic* to say (I know it doesn't apply to this thread, but I have seen too many ancient threads come up again with something dumb and useless posted.

2.) NO. ONE. WORD. OR. ONE. SMILEY. POSTS! It's no problem if it happens once, but try to keep it down. If you cannot say anything more than "LOL", live it out, but leave it out the forum.

3.) No chatting on the boards. If you want to chat, go to AIM, MSN, Yahoo, ICQ or even better - IRC. How to do that? There's information on the ER.net page, there's two great IRC courses and there's a lot of officers you can bug to show you how.
Just to clear up what I mean with chatting - that one convo you and ... err.. some other guy had on another thread. :P

Ok, I thought that needed to be made clear :P

How detailed

But I know which ones you mean, and they can easily be singled out by the two or three participants with every post being just a sentence or so. Those type of threads are usually not allowed on these boards, there are millions of other places you can go online for that kind of coversation. Besides the fact that it serves nopurpose, and as Vort said it's better for it to be in a chat program, it saves everyone else the time of even looking at (or hitting the "Mark all as Read") because there's a bunch of extra posts on the boards.

Okay, i will try to not do that, sirs, and i will try to make posting "meaningful", so in the near future, i will follow these rules
