    Do they know something we don't?

    I think the Admins here are hiding something very important from us. Eternal life may be a bit extreme but I found this paragraph while editing my profile.
    "Your date of birth and age are displayed in several places on the forum. Only the administrator will have access to your date of birth should you choose to hide it via the privacy option below. Please contact the Administrator if your date of birth has changed."
    The last sentence here is what caught my eye. Please, I'm begging you, how do I become 18 again?

    Are you planning on re-writing history jonezy? How will you use your newfound immortality? =^..^=
    If you'd like a serious answer to your request:
    1) demonstrate that you've read the manual
    2) demonstrate that you made some attempt to fix it.
    3) if you're going to ask about jams include the jam code.
    4) if you're going to ask about an error code include the error code.
    5) You are the person onsite. Only you can make observations.

      Indeed I am. Purely for personal gain though. None of this peace and humanity pish.

        If you could just go back to 18 knowing what you know now. If you go back to 18 without retention of current knowledge, you are doomed to repeat the same stupid mistakes. I think I wasted too much time because I thought I had a lot of it.
        Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways - Coke in one hand - chocolate in the other - body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO-HOO, what a ride!".

          History does not repeat itself; stupid people repeat history.
          “Anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that 'my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.'” (Isaac Asimov)

            This only applies to our friends in tech support who believe in reincarnation.

              I thought it was for female techs who get stuck on 29 or something like that.

                I thought I had a lot of time as well . A high school friend and blue's singer has a song titled

                " THE OLDER I GET , THE BETTER I WAS "

                Very fitting to some of us. AND JUST SO YOU KNOW ! I am NOT older than dirt . BUT , I will admit to being older than some trees I know .

                God grant me the serenity to accept stupid people , the courage to not waste my time and energy on them , and the wisdom to know that I cannot fix STUPID .
