Apparently, people didn't learn the FIRST 3 or 4 times around that you DON'T OPEN ".vbs" files, EVER. And only open ".exe" files after you've directly spoken to the person who sent it to you to verify that it's safe.

{sigh}

Phil...

I would like to make a couple of suggestions...

1) Clean up your act, and become a productive member of this board.

2) Go away completely.

3) Get a new name, and start fresh, with a nicer attitude.

Just to inform you. If you think you can be abusive to posters, and not worry about getting your account banned, because you can re register under another name??? You don't know much about computers, do you?? Webby has the ability to trace you, and will not let you re register if you continure this behaviour.. Just letting you know, so you can make an informed intelligent decision on what to do next...

It's up to you.....

Vamp, you were too kind to this jerk giving him that much info, it's obvious he just wants to upset people, nothing else. Well, you gave him his chance though, I respect that, but really that was just being too kind.

Dammit Phil! I had a feeling you were one of our previous posters in disguise. I guess I should've known better than to welcome you here with open arms...

...please refrain from making stupid comments like that, please! If you can't, please leave. This is a very simple request...

Don't let him get to you, JV. Some people are just so...sheesh.

I've emailed Webby about this jerk - hopefully, it's the last we'll see of him!

I really appreciate the concern. Thanks, Sir Erist!

Honestly, though... There are people here who get to me MUCH more than some pissant kid who got ahold of the WebTV. (no offense!) {grin}

I'll be dispensing antibiotics the rest of the week. Yuck! I's just trying to be helpful-I'll never start a thread again! Y'all lit a fire on him, though....smells like rump-roast around here!

moon, your efforts were appreciated, and that was one instance where a post on every board made perfect sense. Thank you!

I hope you don't mind, but I "borrowed" this .gif...

I downloaded the video and cut it down to a few frames in Adobe Premiere, then rendered it as a gif89a. Took the gif file over to gif construction set and redued the frame size down and removed frames until the file size was below 60K.

Ever since I saw the rhino.avi on somebody's site, its been nagging me that I should convert it to a gif.

Glad you liked it!
