Re: [gentoo-user] Eterm not emerging

Personally, If I think I'm helping someone, I don't care if they top or
bottom post or post like you did below, middle posting I guess.  I
certainly won't care if someone is helping me.

The one thing that confuses me is keeping up with who is who.  I'm awful
at names.  I have to work at it to get my girlfriends name right.  I
actually have it plastered on my monitor to remind me.  Just to be safe,
I call her Sweety.  Don't get me wrong though, I love her dearly but I
suck at names.  I'm good at remembering faces though.  I may not know
their name but I know I know them.  Confusing huh?

If someone wants me to reply on the bottom, say so, I'll scroll down and
type away.  I'm not sweating this at all.  I find it sort of funny
really.  All this over where to type.  LOL, for those text users.  :-D 
for those HTML users.
