I think Howley (the agent provocateur @ the space Museum) is using a fake name.

[elehhhhna]

Tinfoily? Sure. But "Howley" is how you pronounce "haole"...Hawaiian for "white guy".

[Fire Walk With Me]

1. I thought Haole meant "has no soul", literally.

Make your own conclusions on this.

7. I thought that was redheads...

[tammywammy]

16. Heh

tammywammy - red head :P

[MineralMan]

17. All in jest, there, carrot top.

:hide:

I melt at red hair. It's my real weakness, I'm afraid.

[tammywammy]

18. I can take some good natured soulless red head jokes

I'm known to make them myself.

2. Posted three times and you are likely wrong all three times

or maybe it a long term conspiracy!

6. I got the accidental multiple postings.

It happens sometimes.

[MineralMan]

3. Whenever you think it didn't post, wait a minute

and check. It almost always posted. I learned that by posting a number of dupes.

[Kerrytravelers]

8. And you can always ask a Mod to remove the extra postings.

We'll remove the one that has no comments or combine the threads if they all have comments. :hi:

[MineralMan]

12. Yes, I understand, but checking to see if what you posted posted

works, too. I started doing that after the third time when an internet glitch caused a duplicate. Third time's a charm, I guess. Did I give bad advice, do you think?

[Kerrytravelers]

14. Nope, not at all.

Once you check and there are extra postings, just alert on the extra threads and we'll take care of them for you, is all. I find it easier to remove than to combine because sometimes when threads are combined they don't read as smoothly.

:hi:

[MineralMan]

15. Well, that's good to know. It doesn't happen to me much any more,

but I know it's a common thing. I even copy and paste the body of my posts to the clipboard before posting, so I can repost easily if the post doesn't happen.

The Internet is a glitchy thing. Yes, indeed, it is.

[Kerrytravelers]

19. I do that, too, on posts more than one sentence long!

[MineralMan]

4. Howley is also a fairly common name.

:shrug:

[eShirl]

5. I think Boehner and the Koch brothers have fake names, too.

If pronounced the way they're spelled, they both mean "penis" in English.

[MineralMan]

9. Not every thought that comes into your head is worthy of posting.

Try Googling "Howley." It's a fairly common family name.

[elehhhhna]

10. It doesn't mean it's his real name.

sheesh DU, so literal

[MineralMan]

13. It also does not mean it is not his real name.

I don't know whether it is his real name or not, and it's of little significance. He's a moron. That's all I need to know.

My name's not MineralMan, either. Isn't that an interesting coincidence? I'm betting your real name isn't elehhhhna, either.

11. "haole" is a perjorative, like the N word.
