tell you for a fact it's raining in the catchment RIGHT NOW.

yes.

About bloody time. It's missed it soooooo many times.

.... it's stopped now :-)

I used to be before I started using computers. Now I have to write a
word by longhand if I want to know if it's right. Sodding keyboards.

i need a phone in front of me to remember phone numbers (via muscle memory).
i always thought i'm prematurely senile though :-)

So only old men are grumblebums?

i wouldn't call a lady-person a grumblebum. but maybe that's just me.

How odd. But usenet is such an odd
beast. I've been mistaken for being an American, a black American,

black americans are still americans, no difference :-)

a
man, a woman and many other things besides.

hm. i might not capitalise, but i can parse. you can't be "mistaken" for
anything you actually are! (i'm leaning back towards speculating you are a
woman, though. not that it matters!!!)

it's true that there are not only two genders, and in fact there are a range
of (effective) genders in between, due to genetic factors.

It's all in the eyes of
the beholder and depends so much on what one writes. But I can be
lots of thing too at different times in terms of personality (as can
anyone).

well, that's right, but equally people can misunderstand someone's tone or
intention. it's more difficult than one would think.

mm, people say that. then later on they say they got used to it.

I never have.

well i don't think we've known each other that long!
blush

why do i do it?

It's easy (or lazy depending on one's perspective).

no. like i said, i type just as fast with capitals. it's a habit, but i
won't go into where the habit sprang from. but it's not ease, nor laziness.

tch! i punctuate. you don't have to exaggerate.

Well you do use full stops, but beyond that............

are more full stops? g
not only do i use ?, but also " ' ; : - and, furthermore, !

it's
over!

Over? Then why reply???????

because, like you, now i'm just feeling the loooove! for example, my dh made
an absolutely spiffing roast dinner. and now i've told the world (or two or
three people anyway) i feel even better.
