See o dem bones, the strange gyrings and wing-rubbings of thy servants as they report on the state of the hive. These motions and noises are language of a sort. We know not what we say. We know not what we do. But to you, the meanings are clear. What follows is a transcript into one of the tongues of the humans. To us, it is merely more nodegel. We seek out the bad nodegel and eject it into the Crypt, we fasten the good nodegel to the comb so that its sweetness on Page of Cool encourages the noders to exude more of this flavour. We poke and prod, soothe and stroke the noders so that the nodegel flows. We know not what we do or why. This is our life.

The Crypt has returned the following to a liquid state:

• small breasts by melodrame. By request.
• The Cow Of Doom returns these nodes to the gel:
  • Jesus
  • penix
  • Rage Against The Toaster
• If This is Tuesday This Must Be Belgium by Demeter. By request.
• Ms. Krabaple by tregoweth. By request.
• usefull by Middlename and General Wesc. By request of wharfinger.
• I nuked user Middlename. A troll, spleening in Chatter. Not a confused new user. I msged thrice. "FUCK YOU" is not an acceptable response. Threatened to get worse in Chatter. Back to the gel. GLOOP. I don't like doing this. I don't even much care for deleting nodes by living users.
• Who is the third who walks always beside you? (2) by Dorian. By request.

• Time Heals All Wounds by iain. By request.
• I hate your hair by Belli. By request.
• Sleep-Deprived by DigiBlitz. A "see also" node. I explained why it had to go before it was killed.
• Everything ICQ repository by wonko, mcSey and dizzy. Assimiliated.
• HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA I beat the Nodeshell Rescue team to this nodeshell. by hramyaegr. By request.
• At whizkid's suggestion, I deleted siren's redshift node which just said that this was how it should be spelled rather than "red shift". I then changed the title of red shift to redshift.
• Heghpa' quvbe' by General Wesc. By request.
• stereotypical man and women oversensitive by treeSysV. By request.
• naked ape suggested:
  • Slowly carving a cute innocent little dog's eye with a toothpick by Thomas Miconi (at -23) and thus the indignent replies by ryano and captainspatula as well.
  • I think I just ran over that cute little dog by Mute and Gau. I left stylee's Simpsons quote.
• Low quality, censored, bird sound MP3s by tftv256. By request.

I killed them and ate them. It was them or me. I had no choice.

• There is no strategy in StarCraft by Middlename: "I disagree I belive starcraft is lame and without strategy." I /msg'd the user about it. He's barfing crap into the database; this is just the worst of it. I thought a bop on the noggin might help him gain clarity. (I was wrong, by the way; he's gone berserk) (Okay, not berserk, but he was upset and reposted the useless writeup; Uberfetus bagged it the second time).

• binary by Leto Atreides 2 (last seen June 2): "1010111001000111000110101000101010011000001001101001101010101110..... You get the idea." Yep, I sure do, but only because I already know what it means. Webster 1913 has that part sewn up reasonably well.

• hence by osjedi (never seen on E2): "Meaning 'as a result of'. For example: M$ sucks, hence I use Linux." Webster 1913 provides a complete definition.

I'm in favor of nuking users who a) contribute very little and b) respond with "FUCK YOU" to /msg's. Opposable thumbs are a good trait in a noder. Middlename wasn't doing much, and he got out of hand when people tried to talk to him about his writeups and his behavior. I have patience with people who can handle criticism, and absolutely none with people who can't. He may have been a borderline case, but I can't see that it was any great loss. When they start re-noding killed garbage writeups, that's usually a sign that they're out of control and they just aren't going to listen to reason.

See his writeups in egcs and V-TOL; D-Gun is a relatively good one. In fact, egcs is not only semi-literate, but also obsolete. I think we should keep it for historical interest alone, though.

/msg tim_three do you think you could do a bit more with collaborate?

• helpfull by middlename:

  "Helpfull: 1) Something that is usefull 2) Something that assists something in something 3) Something that is required to do something"

  -"Something that is usefull" is a hilarious definition for "helpfull", but I'm sorry, it had to go. :)

• aol by middlename:

  "A very bad isp". Killed at first sight.

• There is no strategy in StarCraft by middlename (a repost):

  -Middlename, the tribe has spoken.

• aeon flux by lucentshoe:

  "this feature being similar in some ways to what seems to allus happen to kenny in south park..."

  -Off-topic; inconsequential.

• William H. Gates III by calvin_is_stupid:

  "Satan. Need I say more?" Actually, yes.

• Sean Richardson by calvin_is_stupid:

  "Barely a person (see non-human). Takes a liking to cars, stupid bitches, 4-year-old girls, and nascar racing. Once raped a pair of small children. Emits a stench. A bone fide moron, Sean once stole a spool of copper and attempted to&recycle it for cash.

  -Yeah, I giggled, but this is probably inappropriate, eh?

• Sean Richardson by android:

  "Do we really need this crap?" Um.... no, we don't.

• sex with plants by calvin_is_stupid:

  "Placing your genitals in a plant and making a bit of the old in-out in-out motions. See Sean Richardson."

• Calvin McCutcheon by calvin_is_stupid and eviltobz, respectively:

  "Calvin is what is known today as a moron. Every day, this guy re-invents the wheel, and actually *believes* that his new wheel is going to be even a tiny bit better than the existing wheel. According to him, all that really is in the way is the fact that there's a conspiracy orchestrated by various car manufacturers against him -- they, for some *unknown* reason don't want his wheel. He also smells. It's amazing that someone can take a shower and then fill up a room with incredible stench."

  "Sounds like my kinda guy."

• stench by calvin_is_stupid and Morgan:

  "An incredibly bad smell. Often emitted by Calvin McCutcheon, 31337 h4x0rs, and Sean Richardson."

  "And teachers."
