This seems like a roundabout way to say he is unhappy with the moderation on the forum. I'm not sure what is being implied by linking to a post on the resignation of moderators on another forum.
Oh yes, that's why we are treating it lightly and I do my bit in that regard, raising the tone slightly.

By the power invested in me, all the threads I start are battle free zones - no arguing about the benefits of VB6 over .NET here please. Happiness must reign.
I use WordPad for this, especially when I'm writing really big posts with lots of illustrations and carefully thought out statements. My bigger CodeBank entries are examples of such posts.
You’re using a program not written in VB6 and doesn’t use vbclient, I’m not interested.
The nice thing about cintanotes is that a shift+F12 after any selected text and it creates a new note with a correct title and the text neatly placed in the note.

Re: Ignoring moderators
We'll need you, what with all the resigning mods. Personally, my resignation will be effective... ooh, I dunno... 2030ish... maybe... blame it on all the people who keep ignoring me.

It works until it doesn't... but when it doesn't work, the question will be does your account still work......?
There is usually some risk involved with everyday activities so I'm always on the lookout for falling bricks when walking on the sidewalks but you can still never know for sure :-))
So, when walking on the sidewalk you are looking up?
Are you one of those people who keeps running into the parking meters?
Here's rumours, that "looking up" will become mandatory for everyone in the future (if you want to keep your job)...
It's to prevent over-filling the ICUs with people, "hit by falling shingles and stuff".
(statistics have shown, that running into parking-meters instead, is far less dangerous for ones health -
...so, making "looking up" mandatory keeps the ICU-units available for all these cancer-patients).
As we've learned recently - people cannot be trusted anymore, to do their own risk-assesment.

Well that certainly isn't new. If people were capable of that then we could save lots of money on traffic signs and enforcing traffic safety laws. We could also walk around juggling live grenades.

We also wouldn't have stupid warning labels like "Do not use near an open flame" ..... on shaving cream. Really? What brought that on? As a comic I saw once said "That means somewhere, some time, some idiot told his wife, 'Hon I think i'll shave... in the fireplace!'"
Well I guess some people might want to shave by candle light (during a power outage), so it isn't that bad... unlike the warning labels on packets of nuts, eg: "warning: may contain nuts"
Why do they need a warning for that, and why on earth is the the word "may" in there?
People with certain nut allergies aren't necessarily allergic to all nuts, but maybe specific ones... but processing plants will often process one nut, then another, then a different one... allowing for trace amounts of a different nut to end up on another. So the pine nuts could be contaminated by peanuts. I could see that being a more realistic situation than someone shaving by candlelight. I mean, if you're shaving by candlelight.... do you need to be shaving?
C++ programmers will dismiss you as a cretinous simpleton for your inability to keep track of pointers chained 6 levels deep and Java programmers will pillory you for buying into the evils of Microsoft. Meanwhile C# programmers will get paid just a little bit more than you for writing exactly the same code and VB6 programmers will continue to whitter on about "footprints". - FunkyDexter
