[quote author="Chris Little"]I can help with pedantic ways! You don’t like accuracy but precision. That should clear things up.

Don’t presume to bandy semantics with me, my good man! I’m an engineer! I know what I mean - if I measured my age and my sons age again and used three decimal places then I would be precise to three decimal places. As I was measuring my age and my sons age to the day, just once, and expressing that as a decimal fraction of a year, then rounding off to three decimal places, I was being accurate to three decimal places.

Mutter, mutter, whippersnappers these days, grumble, grumble, don’t they teach them anything, whinge, whinge, would never have happened in my day ...  :P

Do you by any chance wish to start a cherry appreciation society?

...or another way of looking at it: You were being anal to three decimal places.

<Bad pun o’the day>

If there’s a decimal point, please feel free to come to it.

Laugh @ Matt

Groan @ Sophie

Growl @ Optus internet connection which keeps dropping out

Being the good actuary that I am...I would insist on 5 decimal places of accuracy.

Well, being a computer programmer, I insist on declaring my age as 9793.786111

OK, you got me, what unit is that of?  Days?

Oh, yeah, back on topic, my intro thing:

*Glenn Slaven, 24 years old, married with 1.6 children (2nd due in November)
*I work as webmaster/sysadmin for Voice of the Martyrs and do helpdesk for Planet Netcom on Saturdays.
*I go to Glenmore Park Anglican Church
*I don’t speak German.
*You want to talk about too many posts Warren, have a look at mine ! (although Rowen is closing in fast! :) Too much time spent online.

Oh, and what’s really sad is that I didn’t even have to think about where that quote before came from, I was already running the “and Australia is entirely peopled with criminals, and criminals are used to having people not trust them, as you are not trusted by me” line before I got to the question.  I have watched that movie too many times. :)

Did someone say a sherry appreciation society?

*sticks hand in the air*

I’m Kat a long-term lurker, first time poster.

I’m 23 and go to St John’s Asquith where i’m involved in the youth ministry (www.logosweb.cx). I live with my parents still and try hard to show them what they’re missing out on by not knowing Christ.

I work p/t at 131500 taking complaints for trains, buses, ferries and taxis. Yes people really can complain about their train being 2 minutes late :) just be nice.. please?  And am studying small business management through tafe.

Likes: reading, buffy, LOTR, Kommisar Rex (although since Bradtner left it’s not so good), seeing people growing in Christ (especially younger people), movies that make you think, music,

Dislikes: Ice cream, people thinking kids ministry isn’t important or that kids can’t learn about God seriously.

Although i’ve never posted before i commonly come and read everything here and find it encouraging, challenging and refreshing. So, thanks to the regular posters for making it so.

Man!!  I had one the other day that was soooooo late..  it’s nice to have someone official to complain to :) I jest.  the train was wonderful.

Glad you decided to come out of lurkdom.. however you might have to explain your dislike for ice cream.. I mean we don’t want crazy people here ;)

Luke… I think you are going to have to introduce some sort of minimum level of qualification for membership to this forum.

I was (just) able to cope with Hannah being completely insensitive to ‘The Smoulder’....

But Kat disliking Ice Cream.... it’s really just too much!

;)

Great to have you on board Kat :) It’s wonderful to see all these gals popping up out of the woodwork!

the world likes ice cream.. i’m called to be different ... so i don’t :)

nah… i just have this weird reaction to cold and creamy and dairy.. just doesn’t mix well :) it’s just like fruit and meat? HUH? doesn’t not work for me at all..

however I do have my vices.. S&V kettle chips are definitely on that list :)
