The Airing of Grievances

I'm on a laptop, and don't think there is a middle button. :confused3:

I use a separate mouse, don't like those touch pads.

Depends on the laptop, I have a couple of Dell Latitudes within reach with both a trackpad and a trackpoint. Both have a middle button on the trackpoint mouse buttons.

Glad you learned a bunch today Murph, stick around there's more to come from these guys... :thumbsup:
I don't got no middle button, and forgot all about mieces a long time ago when I bought this Dell studio 17" screen laptop. So now what?! Does having a middle finger help at all?

"To follow the herd is to admit you're sheep" is even better.

I thought he was talking about my sheep.

I thought he was talking about my sheep.

A fair point -- perhaps I rushed to judgement.

The sentence could be rewritten as "To follow the herd is to admit cqiagy2's sheep."

Let's look at the definitions of "admit."

1. to allow to enter; grant or afford entrance to: to admit a student to college.
2. to give the right or means of entrance to: This ticket admits two people.
3. to permit to exercise a certain function or privilege: to admit someone to the bar.
4. to permit; allow.
5. to allow or concede as valid: to admit the force of an argument.
6. to acknowledge; confess: He admitted his guilt.
7. to have capacity for: The passage admits two abreast.

What do you think he had in mind for your sheep?

Me Lysdexic? Is that why Firefox keeps putting squiggly red lines under all the words I type? :laughing:
On a more serious note, its <ctrl+left click> in Firefox, see "Open in Background Tab" on the mouse shortcuts page: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/mouse-shortcuts-perform-common-tasks

5. Threads that have potential but keep getting rat-holed into a completely unrelated (and uninteresting) topic.

True that!!!! Some members get very defensive about that!!!!

I look at threads on a forum like a group discussion in the local coffee shop. Or a group discussion standing around drinking Beer. Someone starts the conversation with a topic and within a few minutes it's off on something unrelated and often with several topics going at once. I'm never offended by that. Just look at it as human nature.

And in the case of this thread, it has a plural title. So no whining when the subject changes!!!

 

[murphy1244]

You never know where some of these threads go.:dance1:

 

[two_bit_score]

Guilty of links without comments as the link are related to the thread topic, usually.

I don't know where you go to get saw chain chaps to wear but we're going to try the hardware store that sells chainsaws and saw chains.

Try this link for chaps.
