Don't know what it is or how to do it, but if it means I can remove the various godparticles and there rubbish I'd do it.

That's it." /quote" typed at the end of a quote that starts with / tells forum software to put it's quote style (or other things like font size, or italics) into the preceding material.

I took it to mean that we have to stop posting on the thread.  That way it dies a natural death, otherwise every post that's added pushes the thread back to the top of the forum again.

I'm not going near that thread; godparticle, popdust or whatever he calls himself now, does my head in!  I'm with you Craig!

It's an old programmer joke that is used to indicate the "end" of something. In coding using that "slashie" (as they are sometimes affectionately called) would end a specific string of code. It's been adopted by forum users to end statements, a commentary theme or in the case of Craig's comments in that thread he was telling us to end the thread itself.

For example... I'm about to end this dorky post.

But you did not end it.

I know. I'm a crappy coder. Maybe I could get a job with...

Nope, not gonna do it. ;-p

Anyway... bapu... mah, man. How ya been? I seem to recall a thread of yours mentioning your lad being involved in some of those fancy educational real guitar controllers for the Rock Band (or similar) franchise. I was reading about that coming into play a few years ago and was extremely excited about what that could mean. I had fanciful thoughts of writing some lessons for such a program if it ever became popular. I saw some of the original NAMM footage of it being demo'd back then and it got my juices flowing. Not that I could do much about it at the moment but I'd certainly be interested to read where all that has headed if you have the inside scoop.

And yes... you have every right to be a proud Papa. Very cool stuff. Hope you have been well. Cheers.
