Those Canuks are horny little bastards aren't they?

Perhaps the target market is people with names like "Everything Windows" and "Microsoft IBM".  Or is it the other way around?  :)  I have a hard time keeping those two straight.  However, I seem to recall at least one of those horny little rocket scientists is from Canada.

Spammers hit every forum they can register on. It happens all the time.
Most of the times they are put there by spam-bots. Some spam-bots are written to get past certain filters.
.. and even if you use a "captcha" filter or other action that requires human thought, there are even some spammers that register manually.

You're a funny 'lil ****er you ****less Canadian dweeb.

Let me guess, you're butt buddies with your fellow Canadian eIBM.

If you could afford the Greyhound bus ticket, you should come on down to LA and take on my 42 year old "impotent" ass you little ****.

Oh, I forgot, Canada is where the real good looking talented babes are from...like Celine Dion (barf)

Kishy, it's time for you to jump in and perform your self-appointed moral watch dog duties...defend your countrymen, etc.

Well that's how companies make money. Although the gimmicks at clickykeyboards make me sick somewhat; Brandon gives magical qualities to older model Ms (the only difference is that they're more pongy, probably due to *missing rivets*). He overprices them a lot. People still buy them though.

If you're a company like Filco in a sea of standard ergonomic microsoft rubber domes, you need to advertise. The good keyboard manufacturers have trouble making money since the keyboards are so expensive, dealers like bestbuy or futureshop don't want to carry them.

We have vendor forums. They serve as a great line of communication for vendor and enthusiast. I'd say the subject matter is more expression of interest in products, discussion of specifications, and problem discussion than advertising. This is a good tool. You should feel privileged to have this tool to use free of charge.

Without making broad generalizations about the attractiveness of American women vs. Canadian women, IMHAO, Celene Dion, one of Canada's most successful and famous divas, while not exactly repulsive, is also not exactly attractive (In My Humble AMERICAN Opinion).

That's right, up here we come equipped with a sense of humour.

Also, Celine is considered butt-****ing-ugly compared to the rest of her hometown (Montreal and surrounding area), a veritable "hot"spot for attractive woman from every ethnicity you can imagine. That just happens to be the region that gr1m currently inhabits and with the kind of summer it has been (weather-wise), I'd say it's a safe bet anyone from Mtl knows a thing or two about fly ladies.

No it's 'cause Gr1m is a french canadian (eastern canada). They're an entirely different breed and politically opposite from the west. If you really want to find out what kind of people live there, go to quebec for a year... you'll vow never to go to such again.

Relax. I figured that with the words "repulsive" and "coot" in the same sentence the sarcasm would be obvious. I figured your statement about Canucks being horny was a joke and I responded with a joke.

There must be a little bit of the grass is greener phenomenon going on because I have a female friend who insists that there are so many more hot men that even the plain looking girls have nice dudes.

Then again, maybe your average American needs to spend less time sitting in a car and more time at the gym.

I think American men would probably score higher with that particular attribute than Canuks.   I am amazed at the regular clientele at my club who drop serious coin every week just to get a peek.  For some reason, that kind of thing is a much bigger deal here in America than it is in Europe, or even Canada.  Oh well...ca ching!

Among other things, EIBM is a retard who lacks the intellectual capacity to understand the clinical definition of the serious spectrum disorder called Asperger's Syndrome.  We all have issues, but EIBM's issues are more severe than most.

I've been fortunate to have visited Montreal and Quebec City a few times. I would say that although they don't share the same political views from the rest of Canada, that does not mean that they are "bad" people. On the contrary, I've found the Quebecers to be very nice. Of course, everywhere you go you can find nice people just as you can find not so nice people. In fact, we can all be bad if we have had a bad day.
