My boy, rest assured that were one to "join a club for people with
nine-inch penises [sic]" one would be surrounded by people with nine-inch
penes. Mensa works in the parallel manner with 134 and above IQs; ISPE
with 150 and above IQs.
So, what's your point? If you wish to be surrounded by people with low
verbal, logical, and mathematical talents you need only associate with
your ancestors' posterity.

No no no, the Dicksizing Club Of America(r) and MENSA are most
assuredly NOT related: we at DCA(r) do indeed possess penises.

I beg your pardon, you cutesy parvenu! You've already admitted you've
only recently become acquainted with me and my work--when I had some
silly fun on your silly little newsfroup--so you can't possibly know
that most of my posts are trolls and most of them are subtle. You'd do
well, dear boy, to be a bit less *gullible*: if it's from me and *looks*

Which part of "net propagation delay" is it that you're having trouble with?
Many won't have seen the expose yet (at the time I post this).
And in the classier newsgroups, it's customary to hide the word troll (or
some similar hint) in the headers, or even in the body. Indeed, in a.f.u.
you have to throw back your catch if you omit this little detail; or you
would if trolling wasn't rather passe/ these days, nobody with any style

I disagree. One of my regular jobs is to post a chart of the F1
championship standings after each race. Last year, about halfway through
the season, I asked people to email me if it took more than 2 days to reach
them: I got about 20 replies, which is probably about a third of the people
who actually want the file at all. One guy waited 2 weeks.
I commonly see posts arrive here that are over 2 days old.
Within a single country, 24 hours is a reasonable expectation, but as soon
as you go elsewhere everything becomes highly variable.

henri, I think you have some sort of bizarre martyr syndrome that makes
you invite violent, public, attacks upon your self, then scream bloody
murder when people get pissed off and seek retribution. Starting stupid

Please continue; you are demonstrating your ignorance very well. You

What is with this penis-size obsession of yours? BTW, an IQ of 125 on which
test? You do know that different tests norm differently and that 125 on one
test might equate to 134 on another, and 137 on yet another, don't you?

Come on, Henri; tell us what you really feel.
BTW, you are a superscillious snob who is such a loser that you feel the
need to denigrate that which you are incapable of understanding, in order to
boost your own ego in your own mind. You are a pathetic geek, and should
get a life.

That quiz wont get you in. You have to get nervous and do the real thing,
the Cattell tests. At least.

IQ of 125 on which test and what scale? Normally 125 wont get you in but
may encourage you to keep trying, and trying, and..

Hey I've never needed nor worn prescription glasses (so far).
I tend to win even when I actively sabotage my own efforts.
I havent got a pat on the back yet, maybe backstabbed once or twice, but
no pat on the back yet. And I admit I did get a free lift once, so far.

I took my 141 and stretched out beyond the confines of this elitist and

hill of beans next to common sense. True intelligence would dictate that
you would be more open-minded and artistic than judgeMENTAL. I have never

inviting some condescending response just for scratching you and your

Passe' or not... how much more obvious could a troll get?
Ferchrissakes, *any* and *every* time someone struts into a newsgroup
and calls the inhabitants thereof a choice number of words and
questions their overall intelligence and motivation for their choice
of reading selections, EXPECT IT TO BE A TROLL!!! If you had an OUNCE
of intelligence, this would have been all the notice you would have
required.
To perpetrate a troll is actually quite simple. For starters, you
could crosspost to the entire alt.sex.* hierarchy proclaiming them all
to be sinners, pedafiles [sic], and sick-O preverts [sic]. This will
undoubtedly erupt in a million followups telling you to go to hell and
not to look in those groups if they offend. This is shooting fish in
a barrel obviously. It's not very sporting at all. But to perpetrate
the same thing upon a group of self-declared geniuses is (or should
be) a bit more challenging. Alas, that is not necessarily the case at
all. Henri is probably not the first to have discovered this I'm
quite sure.
It is absolutely no excuse to say that the post announcing it is a
troll didn't show up yet upon your newsserver. How pathetic that you
think otherwise.
While I'm a little perturbed at dear henri for doing this once
again, I can't say I'm surprised. It's a specialty of his and I don't
dare deny him the pleasure he receives from this experiments.
Next time, just remember the unfailing creedo: If it reads like a
troll, smells like a troll, and irritates like a troll... assume it is
such and leave it BE!

By answering a troll as if he were serious, you give him a sense of self
importance and personal worth. this keeps him at his keyboard, typing more
trollish things, and keeps him off the streets away from old ladies and
children.

Henry, you have fallen for the second oldest trick in the book: treating a

You certainly seem to have the need to denigrate others and to express your
uninformed opinion as fact, in order to prove your self worth.
Very few, if any, people stay in Mensa to prove their self worth. Those who
join for that purpose usually don't stay in because they find that it
doesn't prove their self worth--they get treated like the jerks they are, or
can't stand being a small fish in a big pond instead of being a big fish in
a small pond, as they thought they were outside of Mensa.
Those people who say "I joined Mensa and left it because all I found were
self-centered eogmaniacs," or similar expressions, usually found that they
got short shrift when they acted like self-centered egomaniacs.
One way to identify those who try to prove their net worth is to look at
their net.names; if they choose something infantile like "voodo highway,"

NO NO NO. As an up-&-cumming troller myself I can assure you, Lucie, that
once again you have it all wrong--as when you mistook a death threat for
a seduction attempt. (Of course I know why, u gorgeous celibate u, but I

ain't hurt from the responses he elicits: he smirks and feels superior to

And some people form uninformed opinions by replying to other opinions.
Very disheartening to see you pass judgement so quickly. I spent 5 years
in MENSA before forming my opinion. How much time did you spend on my
reply before passing judgement?

You know nothing of what you speak. This is glaringly apparent.
But then you are consistent in your passing of judgement so quickly. Got
a license for speeding or just stating an OPINION?

Changing the subject rather I know, and possibly not for this type of
news group, but has anybody medically knowledgeable ever done the
mathematics on penis size, blood volume and blood pressure ? As I am sure
we all know, an erection is caused by a vascular (?) constriction that
leads to more blood remaining in the penis than leaving it, thus
inflating the tissue . ( I know that this is terminologically incorrect,
but it's something like this .) Thus the dire effects that alchohol, beta
blockers and other drugs affecting blood pressure can have.
But given the constraints of the system, that of blood volume of the
individual, likely blood pressure and the volume of blood that must be
used to make the tissue erect, what is the maximum size possible before
the guy keels over in a faint every time he gets an erection ?
The correct mathematical answer to this would be, if not useful, at least
an interesting way of sorting the Satyrs from the Dreamers. At least we
would know whether the 9 inch club ( or is it 12? or 20 ? thus the q) was
fertile or not.

no, i have no intention of screaming bloody murder about
being attacked by a pack of geeks. after all, admit it,
they're pathetic. they'll even fall for a troll from
someone calling himself 'the bob' who even includes the
word 'gullible' IN THE TROLL ITSELF.
i honestly didn't expect quite such a response from such
a blatantly obvious troll--promise.
i assumed that a bunch of self-proclaimed geniuses could
recognize an obvious troll, especially when it included
'alt.test' in the Newsgroup: line.
i honestly didn't know that people who belong to mensa
are, in fact, the absolute drooling cretins i had said
they were, and had expected one, or perhaps two responses
to my post, which screamed and howled 'TROLL.'
i did not expect to swamp the group with followups.
i _promise_ that i will not _EVER_ swamp alt.angst
again with followups from pathetic idiots.
i have learned my lesson.
any society which claims to be populated by geniuses
in, in fact, populated by room-temperature IQ morons
with a sense of self-aggrandizement.
MENSA, obviously, fits this bill, as their net-literate
members fell, again and again, even after it was pointed
out to them, for the most blatant troll imaginable.

I never said he was hurt by it. I just said he got off on the attention,
and his pose of indignance about being attacked is all part of the act. of
course, in the case of the scientology debacle, he has every right to be
indignant, but that's beside the point.

My mention of propagation delay was in reply to a complaint that people
still responded after they'd been told it was a troll. It was never an
excuse for them biting on the hook in the first place. With the level of
reading comprehension you're exhibiting here, maybe you shouldn't try to get
into a secondary school that uses an exam to select its intake.

No I didn't, I just _nominated_ you for my killfile. I have an elaborate system
of checks and balances, and the motion didn't get through this time, because
it was killed by a 56-28 vote in the senate (not all my senators are present

Maybe next time. But I doubt it, because I don't have a killfile, except

Right you are, Stephanie. I had noticed that, too, and also thought about
posting the correction--but didn't. However, now that you have, I'll add
the following comment. An entire day of shooting was lost because of
that song. The "munchkins" were an ornery lot and deliberately sang the
wrong words. It wasn't until the rushes were in that it was discovered
that they had been singing: "Ding, Dong. The bitch is dead. Which old
bitch? The wicked bitch! Ding, Dong. The wicked bitch is dead." The
entire scene had to be reshot the next day.

Alright, let's settle this once and for all, Beatle. Get out your dictionary.
Open it. Look in the j's. under judgment.
Read the header. If it is the Webster's Ninth New Collegiate Dictionary, like
mine, or I assume any other reputable dictionary, it will say,
judgment or judgement
Either is correct. I personally opt for the one which looks better to me,
judgement. I am not wrong in doing this.
Be informed.

It is if you're using the Cattell test. Also, not all Mensans are at the

No no no, buttfucking FEMALE Okies is more fun 'cuz more "perverted."
Would I be correct in assuming that "Virginia" is a female name, and
that you have an asshole from whence your opinions emanate?

You'd have to be pretty dumb not to have realized that it goes both ways,
i.e. that by trolling I was having sport with y'all so ya'll are welcome
to have sport back. Then I can have sport with those who have sport with
me, and they'll respond, and--gee!--everybody gets a chance to be sporty!
And since it's all in good fun, and given that *I'M* never offended....

Either is not "correct". 'Judgment' is correct, hence it's entry;
'judgement' is acknowledged as used in and among the hoi polloi, ergo
its reference. But widespread misuse does not lend "correctness" to
illiteracy. To think so means you are being "mischievIOUS".
It's sorta like the people from Missour-EE thinking they know better than
the rest of the English-speaking world how to pronounce vowels according
to the rules of the language, and call their state Missour-UH. I have
yet to run across another example of an 'i' sounding like 'uh' in
non-colloquial use.
And I'm certain 'judgEment' does indeed look better to you. I'm just
as positive that 'kwik' and 'langwij' looks better and more intuitive to
lotsa folks as well. Doesn't make them right. I, personally, have major
difficulties rationalizing the idiotic construction of adverbs from
non-adjective forms of adjectives made from perfectly good nouns. The
example of 'pedant' to 'pedantIC' to 'pedandicAL' to 'pedanticalLY' leaps
irresistably to mind.
And if you were to strike a blow for logical construction and declare that
the adherence to 'judgment' is 'pedanticly' followed, I'd agree in a
nonconformist way. But I'd declare that your use of language is entirely
in the range of vernacular, hence nonstandard, ergo illiterate.

In what way are we "elitist"? Oh, yeah... yeah... the IQ thing. I keep

envy, and the J.L. also requires you to have more disposable income in

Sure! It took me a mere *3* keystrokes to hit the "d" (for delete) key
for each of the three alt.test posts that I received. When such a minimal
amount of effort is required, it's just not worth the bother to edit the
newsgroups.
