Dale: I didn't know you read that
forum. What's your screen
name?
Jessie: It's "jessiegirl," but I don't
post very often. I like to
lurk and follow the different
threads, but I prefer to keep a
low profile.
Dale: Really? I post all the time. I just put my
new web address on my profile, and
check this out. It's my new avatar.
Jessie: That's cool. I've been trying to figure
out how to upload a picture for my
avatar. Are there instructions in the
FAQs?
Dale: I'm not sure, but I can show you how to
do it. Have you been following the thread
about the presidential campaign?
Jessie: Yeah, I had been...until today.
Dale: Why's that?
Jessie: I stopped reading when this one guy,
"bigman," started to flame
everybody, saying that anyone who didn't
agree with him is an idiot.
Dale: Oh, really?
Jessie: Yeah, he started posting
replies, writing in all caps
and letting people have it. He
quoted people out of
context and attacked them. What a jerk!
Dale: Yeah, that guy sounds like a jerk.
Jessie: Hey, what did you say your screen
name is?
Dale: Never mind.
