LAST EDITED ON 11-12-03 AT 03:44 PM (EST)I said "welcome". I said "please". And as a moderator of this forum, I requested that you read the community guidelines. I think we have a different definition of the word rude.
You didn't bother to familiarize yourself with the guidelines or the nature of this forum. And if you had read even one other post before posting yourself, you would have seen the tongue-in-cheek description that is beside every person's screen name. This would have allowed you to prevent such a description from ending up beside your name if you chose - by not posting.
Edited to add a link to the discussion of desperate attention whore, as well as the different levels. Short answer? It's a reference to some of the things that reality show contestants do to extend their 15 minutes of fame.
I am now locking this post, since this is not a discussion of the "Average Joe" show.
We really do have guidelines here. Believe it or not, the Guidelines make things more fun. Really.
