WEB MONKEY the WEB DEVELOPERS RESOURCE This board was set up just to practice html and to make sure it does not have any undesirable effects on the rest of the board after you post it. Just leaving one tag open change the entire message board such as making all the messages in bold type or huge type etc etc - so it is advisable until you are more experienced to use this practice board first - and even when you have been using html for some time - you can still screw up. BELIEVE ME I KNOW !! |

The above warning is especially true if you are very young, very old, pregnant or have already had the grey matter within your cranium damaged by earths environment or an excessive indulgence of self-prescribed chemicals.
- Congratulations Eggy -
You may add accomplished linguist to your various other talents. You were able to translate a message in Duckease that had reference to the identity of the recent canine misanthrope, a message which was temporarily lost in the vast reaches of cyberspace into one that could be comprehended by humans and certain sub-species that utilize a similar physical shell - but are anything but human.
You have taken lost verbosity - a communication that existed at one time but may well have been transformed into it's original miniscule traces of energy and accurately conveyed the original premise while creating a communication that was:
Terse, succinct, compendious, concise, trenchant, comprehensive and synoptic.
Perhaps I should submit all my posts for an Eggy Edit from Quackease to English. No doubt there are many in the forums who would appreciate a human capable of translating duckease for the general populace with a resulting succinct document. Think of the lost man/woman hours that could be saved for the uncounted humans who find themselves on occasion eyeball to eyeball with a duck post.
Yes I even concede that you can communicate effectively with 10 or 20 words a message that the Duck requires a minimum of 500 for. Furthermore not only do you have a unique talent to condense the unrelenting quacks of a neurotic Duck, you have been able to do so and have the addressee or general reader end up with the same connotation and most likely a greater retention and comprehension level then if they were dependant on direct communications in Duckease.
NOW IN ORDER TO AVOID ANY CONFUSION-
SHOULD EGGY DUE TO FURTHER CYBER MISHAPS RESULTING IN THE DISAPPEARANCE OF POSTS WISH TO TRANSLATE ANY OF MY MESSAGES FROM DUCKEASE TO ENGLISH IN ORDER THAT MORE HUMANS WILL ENDURE DUCK WISDOM - OR PERHAPS AS A SELFLESS EFFORT TO SAVE THE WORLDS ECONOMIES BY RAISING THE PRODUCTIVITY LEVEL OF THE NOT INSIGNIFICANT NUMBER OF HUMANS WHO HAVE CUMULATIVELY WASTED LITERALLY MILLIONS OF MAN / WOMAN HOURS TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT THAT... %$^*&# DUCK IS QUACKING ABOUT - HE HAS MY PERMISSION IN PERPETUITY TO CREATE A COMPENDIOUS TRANSLATION FROM MY LOQUACIOUS, REDUNDANT VERBOSITY.
To summarize my position and my favorable impression of Eggy's translation I shall just this once be terse, succinct and communicate my approval with a minimum of quacks!
q U a C k
and furthermore
Q u a C k q U a C k !!!
Because I got weak above and temporarily lost my way DON'T EVER AS IN NEVER accuse the Duck as a fowl with short circuited verbosity.
Have no doubt that my usual propensity for verbosity, my ambiguous utilization of superfluous words, not to mention my customary inclusion of tautologies throughout every grammatical structure from the diminutive sentence to the capacious paragraph shall continue from now until the end of infinity.
I have NOT had a metamorphosis into a taciturn, saturnine Duck nor shall I ever consciously allow that type of abhorrent transition. Baring a collision with an asteroid or small planet as I flap around this or that Galaxy with resulting vast short circuits in my RAM you have witnessed here a rare historical moment as there is no other documented evidence of the Duck quacking in a direct, concise and succinct manner as I have above with those few colorful duckease terms!
My prolificacy for circumlocutory prose with copious, perhaps voluminous additions of unrelated, repetitive and redundant thoughts shall remain unquestionable. In the entire COSMOS there is no living form capable of the redundancy, the loquacity that I the pleonastically inclined Duck encompass in virtually all my communications to the human specie. After a mere two or three centuries trying to enlightening the residents of this terrestrial speck of dust, I have come to the conclusion that getting a sunflower to blossom in Antarctica during the darkness and extreme sub-zero temperatures of winter would be less of a challenge, actually a simple task by comparison.
Scientific evidence gathered By Ducks throughout the COSMOS has proven the efficacy of Duck verbosity and his garrulous form of communication with humans. The cranial thickness of the human biped requires redundant input from the senses in order to eventually be absorbed by the underutilized gray matter located between the auditory nerves. Therefore being the selfless benevolent Duck that I am, I attempt to provide such iteration in all my communications with Homo sapiens or for that matter HOMO'S of any kind.

Disclaimer and Denial - with subsequent Denials and Disclaimers: If you have read this far and remain confused as to the content of this thread - fear not as confusion is appropriate! There is no meaningful communication within this thread - The content has no value whatsoever was created by an insomniac Duck and can accomplish nothing more then clogging your RAM (memory). For those who have exercised diligence and demonstrated their stubborness to get this far - other then proving that you have a propensity to finish ANYTHING you start even if you realize that doing so will have no possitive effect on you or the world around you have basically wasted your time if you expected something meaningful to be contained within the vast reaches of this thread. The disclaimer and warning at the beginning of the thread may or may not be true and you may or you may not have harmed the one or two living brain cells that you have been attempting to preserve. - The only redemption that may have occured to defend your total waste of time with the gobbledygood contained here is if somewhere while traversing the nonsensical you found a smile on your face or attempted to hold back a minor gigle - then you only wasted 90% of your time. Furthermore if you are actually reading this I strongly suggest that you find a Medium and have a long talk with Dolly the dead cloned sheep (actually I think she was a nellie
goat in drag - the scientists who cloned Dolly didn't want to admit that - hence his/her disguise) and see about the possible injection of some cloned brain cells as you are very likely running on < 10 of your own - perhaps even < 5 !
BE GOOD AND BE HAPPY - BECAUSE HAPPY IS GOOD and besides that It's Dr. Duck's Rx
a quacking I will go - - a quacking I will go - - hi-ho the cosmic duck - (ho?? - well definitely a wannabe ho duck) - - a quacking I shall go

Hamish ah believe it was over a year ago that Dash (you know the quiet reserved one lol) was asking me for any and every little tidbit of info that I knew about you !! YOU'LL JUST HAVE TO MAKE UP FOR THAT YEAR BY INCREASING THE PACE TO 5.6969 x PER DAY! JUST BE SURE TO REPLENISH WITH PLENTY OF CHOCOLATE FROGGIES oH, HAMISH I didn't give much away to Dashel since I didn't know much other then I knew you were a kind, caring person, with a good heart, had attended University or was it Kindegarten (can't remember), was employed at a job that was not fulfilling or that you loved it (they say the first thing that goes is the memory quack lol) and that you spent your spare time running around in the remote bush areas of NZ - (is that the whole country?? j/k) STARK RAVING NAKED!! Not sure but I think the thought of that sustained Dashell this past year as he entertained himself The best to you GUYS just a tad of duck advice Don't allow the trivialities or mundane tasks of daily life interfere with what you feel for each other - You are both individuals and often enough the path's that life will toss in front of you will seemingly go in different directions, at times making it seem so difficult to maintain your relationship - BUT IF THE LOVE IS REAL AND STRONG AND YOUR BOTH WISE - YOU WILL FIND WAYS TO ENSURE THAT YOUR PATHS CONTINUE TO RUN TOGETHER - IT'S NOT EASY - RELATIONSHIPS REQUIRE WORK AND COMPROMISE - IF YOU HOLD ONTO WHAT YOU FEEL FOR THE OTHER TODAY AND NEVER LET GO OF IT - YOU MOST DEFINITELY CAN MAKE IT WORK never forget that as you travel the roads in front of you wherever they may lead, that there can be nothing that will provide more satisfaction and fulfillment then having another at your side to share mutual Love and to share the mystery and wonders and hopefully not often the pain of Life as it unfolds.

You know there is a price to pay for encouraging all these people
to be plucking the duck so they can be grabbing some pink duck feathers!!
Heck they were getting a bit thin (to say the least) before you started
telling everyone to grab a 'handful'
Guess you didn't know that hell hath no fury like a PLUCKED DUCK!!
yOU might as well see what I have in store for you - however I wouldn't want to cause
nightmares for our younger more sensitive members so I'm just going to demonstrate
one of your penalties in the first reply box!! Next feather thats gets plucked and it's on!!

Washington ... Sources in the upper echelons of certain government intelligence (oxymoron) agencies announced today the capture of the elusive Alien Pink Duck. The sources wish to remain anonymous but have indicated that this Alien Duck had been evading federal authorities for over 250 years. When asked how this could be since there were no federal authorities 250 years ago they just shrugged their shoulders and stated for the record "go figure". | |

terse, succinct, compendious
Careful analysis of my RAM which contains approximately 2.5 earth centuries of historical content, I have concluded that NEVER has the Duck been accused of utilizing such traits in any form of his communications!!I must assume your remarks were a comparison to my usual propensity for verbosity, my ambiguous utilization of superfluous words, not to mention my customary inclusion of tautologies throughout every grammatical structure from the diminutive sentence to the capacious paragraph.
Be assured, I have suffered no metamorphic transition into a taciturn, saturnine Duck. My prolificacy for circumlocutory prose with copious, perhaps voluminous additions of unrelated, repetitive and redundant thoughts shall remain unquestionable. In the entire COSMOS there is no living form capable of the redundancy, the loquacity that I the pleonastically inclined Duck encompass in virtually all my communications with the human specie.
The efficacy of this form of garrulous communication is beyond question when Duck speaks to human.

Therefore being the selfless and benevolent Duck that I am, I attempt to provide such iteration in all my communications with Homo sapiens or for that matter HOMO'S of any kind.
This rare exception to my usual verbosity was in fact due to my awareness of Peyman's necessity to rent time at an internet cafe for his worldly communications. With the realization that this young man is one of the rare examples of intelligent beings indigenous to this terrestrial speck of dust and since he has previously demonstrated the capacity to absorb the meaningful communications of this Duck without the necessity to utilize redundant elementary grammar, it was correct and beneficial to attempt a precise informative communication which could be absorbed within a short time span thereby saving this young man as many Rials as possible.

Your obviously angry and hurt Lance. Anger can be debilitating or it can be channeled into productive efforts. Your history seems to demonstrate that you are able to channel your anger into productive endeavors. There have been many in the Gay and Civil Rights Movement that I have the utmost respect for.

First of all here is another excellent resource for HTML amongst other things. WEB MONKEY the WEB DEVELOPERS RESOURCE Next I would like to suggest that when you post html on the message boards that you first go to the HTML PRACTICE BOARD at www.voy.com/9527/. That board was set up just to practice html and to make sure it does not have any undesirable effects on the rest of the board after you post it. Just leaving one tag open change the entire message board such as making all the messages in bold type or huge type etc etc - so it is advisable until you are more experienced to use the practice board first - and even when you have been using html for some time - you can still screw up - BELIEVE ME I KNOW!! As for the posting on these message boards and what causes the post to drop down - this usually just occurs when you are posting a table. Normally when creating a table the code will be like this: <div align="center"> For whatever reason the message boards seem to handle some of the code a bit different then would otherwise occur - THEREFORE if you remove the <div> and the <tbody> statements and their closing tags and when you put your html in the message box to post do not leave any blank lines the post should not drop down many spaces has you have experienced - TRY IT ON THE HTML PRACTICE BOARD and see. If you have a boo boo just call the janitor via email and HE WILL NEVER LET YOU LIVE IT DOWN j/k - but he will have to remove your post in order to make the board right again good luck

 | Complete set of 11 charts that were incorporated into the Joint United Nations update report. These charts contain full statistical breakdowns on all aspects of the HIV/AIDS pandemic broken down by demographics and with both GLOBAL and REGIONAL statistics as of December 31, 2002. (slideshow) |
clicking on the un logo will open a new browser window where you may view the charts in a slide show at your own pace Joe I apologize for my tone in my response below - It has been a very long and difficult day - no excuse though. I hope you might find some of the information in this post informative and perhaps even enlightening. This post contains besides an expression of my own opinions and feelings two items which I believe significant. The First is the AIDS counter at the top. It is a link to the AidsNewsArchive and the numbers reflected are based on the most recent figures available from UNAIDS the Joint United Nations Program on HIV / AIDS. The number increases by 1 every ten seconds the counter updates automatically whenever you reopen this page or refresh it. The second item is a link to the 11 charts incorporated within the UN update on HIV/AIDS. These charts reflect their estimates on virtually all aspects of the AIDS PANDEMIC broken down by demographics and with global and regionally counts. (click the UN AIDS LOGO and a new browser window will open up with a slide show allowing you to open each chart at your own pace) According to their data THREE MILLION - (3,000,000) MEN, WOMEN AND CHILDREN PERISHED FROM AIDS IN 2001. TODAY EIGHT THOUSAND TWO HUNDRED - (8,200) - WILL DIE FROM AIDS. ALSO TODAY FOURTEEN THOUSAND - (14,000) - MOTHERS, FATHERS, SONS, DAUGHTERS, BROTHERS, SISTERS HUSBANDS, WIFE'S AND LOVERS WILL BECOME INFECTED WITH THE HIV VIRUS. Now Joe suppose for arguments sake we take the figures you believe are closer to reality and we make an assumption that only FOUR THOUSAND ONE HUNDRED - (4,100) - WILL DIE TODAY FROM AIDS - SO INSTEAD OF 1 LIFE BEING SNUFFED OUT EVERY TEN SECONDS, AIDS ONLY KILLS SOMEBODY EVERY TWENTY SECONDS! Tell me Joe even with these new figures do you think they make any difference to the Mother or Father who watches their child waste away? Will it make a difference if we accept your figures to the orphans who have lost both their parents to this disease and who will also probably parish due to either disease and/or malnutrition because their parents are dead, their country has no safety net or infrastructure to handle this kind of social upheaval and at 5 or 6 or 10 years old they don't have the ability or street smarts to survive? The WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION estimates that in the next 60 minutes - 342 - will die from AIDS - Lets take the figures you believe are closer to the truth or reality and in the next hour only - 171 - will drop dead from AIDS - THESE ARE NOT JUST NUMBERS MY FRIENDS!! WE COULD BEHAVE LIKE THE GOVERNMENT BUREAUCRACIES WHICH WE ARE ALL SO FOND OF AND ARGUE STATISTICAL DATA - SPEND MONEY TONS OF IT ON NEW STUDIES AND REPORTS - OVER AND OVER AGAIN - WE CAN PRETEND THAT THE PROBLEM CAN'T BE AS BAD AS REPORTED - WE CAN IGNORE IT AND HOPE IT WILL GO AWAY LIKE MANY GOVERNMENTS AND SOCIETIES ARE DOING - BUT IF WE DO THAT CAN SOMEONE PLEASE PLEASE TELL ME WHAT WORDS SHOULD WE USE TO THE MOTHER OR FATHER OR LOVER WHO HAS LOST A CHERISHED ONE IN ORDER TO CONSOLE THEM? SHOULD WE TELL THEM THAT IT'S REALLY NOT THAT BAD CAUSE ONLY HALF OF THOSE THAT DIED REALLY DIED FROM AIDS (MAYBE). I'm sure that such information will truly console them in their grief! In building aidsnewsarchive.org over the past 8 months or so - I have had a rather rapid education on this subject. In indexing the information and placing it on the site I have read reports, statistics, research papers, stories, news items, biographies and to tell you the truth I truly wish most of it was not cluttering up my brain right now - You believe that only half the deaths that have been attributed to AIDS in Sub-Saharan Africa are in reality deaths that have been caused by the pandemic. From everything I have gathered I tend to believe that virtually all of the statistical reports that have been released in the past year ARE EXTREMELY CONSERVATIVE IN THERE ESTIMATES AND THAT THIS PANDEMIC IF NOT GIVEN EVERY RESOURCE THAT THE WORLD HAS AT IT'S DISPOSAL TO DEFEAT IT - WILL IN THE VERY NEAR FUTURE MAKE THE BLACK PLAGUE WHICH WIPED OUT EUROPE AND ASIA IN THE 14TH CENTURY SEEM LIKE A MERE CASE OF THE SNIFFLES. I will now get off the damn soapbox with one last statement to everyone - ESPECIALLY YOU PEEPS - Ignorance is Dangerous, Be Informed and Be Safe | |

SOMETIMES IT MAKES WOLVES SHARPEN THEIR CLAWS!!! therefore in order to save ware and tare on a certain semi-domesticated wolves claws HTML THAT THERE IS A PRACTICE BOARD WHERE YOU CAN TRY YOUR POST OUT FIRST if you screw up there no problem - if it locks up the board just email the administrator. p.s.
