Is that your polite way of saying that he looks like a computer nerd, Curly? Come to think of it, he hasn't mentioned a girlfriend but, between you and me, there are one or two ladies who contribute to this forum that fancy the pants off him.
I didn't want to stereotype with nerd. Anyway, I bet a lot of nerds are quite interesting if you get them talking!
Anyway, from your responses I'm guessing I've got competition?
Oh you guys make me laugh. I've just got to work, and have opened up talkback (don't tell anyone at my workplace) and what a good way to start my day, with a little chuckle.
'Stan! - You wouldn't be taking the proverbial, would you?!!!' - Jenny, how could you possibly even think such a thing? Will Webbo respond to the question that started this post?
I bet they have secret liaisons in the library during work time and that's why Webbo isn't spilling the beans on Talkback. I reckon she emails him, "I'll meet you next to the Yearbooks in the reference section..." and he slips off when the editor isn't looking!
I go away and all semblence of sanity disappears.
Now, honestly, do you think Webbo would really tell us something like that. But I'm sure he's happy to have some devoted admirers.
Nena - if I was going to be an anonymous controller of a discussion board, what better way to hide my identity than to make a caricature of myself in various different guises, all of the opposite sex?
I think Webbo is laughing at you all, bless her. ;)
Can I just settle a few things? Webbo does have a girlfriend. Me. He doesn't like talking about his personal life on talkback. Please treat him with the respect he deserves. Isn't he doing a great job?
Welcome Webberta, I knew you might exist! Allow me to apologise for asking about Webbo's private life. Nothing to do with us, I just had to satisfy my curiosity. Perhaps you will stick around and find out how great it is to be a talkbacker?
Hi Jacey & Jenny & everyone else on talkback.
I realise that Webbo might dump me for blabbing about our personal life, but I love telling people about how we met, and how much we are in love. We met at an IT conference in Chicago. Our eyes met over a giant model of a pentium 4 processor.
I wear glasses too, although mine are genuine Armani from the market in the east end.
I am always in the library, researching my field. I am a software engineer. Webbo has been known to join me, but I'll say no more about that. He will be mortified that I've given this much away.
(luv u Webby darling)
Welcome Webberta, and perhaps now you can kindly tell Sylvia and Jenny that there is nowt, zilcho, absolutely nought going on between Webbo and myself.
You think these two are all sugar & spice, feeding the ducks in their lunch-hour but my dear ol Ma used to tell me it's the quiet ones you should watch out for. Webbo and Webberta are probably those two leather-clad insurgents on the other side of the pond carrying the huge banners that say, 'Byte Me' & 'Stick it in your mainframe.' Wake up, people and welcome to the LAN of the living. I don't think Webbo's the smooth character we've all come to know and love. What other deep & dark mysteries will we soon discover. (Cue scary, suspicious Beethoven mood music) Da da da da.

I'll sip my tea.

If it takes two men two days to dig a hole, how long will it take one man to dig half a hole?
