    Default Why?

    I am often called HoosierRANCHER in replies to my posts. I wonder why as my nickname is HoosierARCHER, as in a guy from Indiana that shoots a bow and arrows. Is it just a miss read or is it to point out someone thinks I'm all hat and no cattle or vice versa?

    Well, on my part, it's this cheap keyboard I have. I wish I had spent a bit more money and bought one that didn't have all the spelling errors built in.

    Actually been thinking of changing to my childhood/young adult nickname. Speaking of changing things. How can I change my avatar? I have a new one I want to use.

    Click on User CP (left side of tool bar at top). On the menu that runs vertically on the left side, select edit avatar.

    Somebody's gonna cry bout it, ya know?


    All the more reason to keep it.

    To me it's the same thing as linking to political news articles. No body says anything bout those.

    Since you asked - I don't particularly care for any avatar that is making a political statement, especially here on this forum.

    You did ask.

    I've got to admit when I just read your name for the first time I thought it was rancher too. That is until I read what this whole thread is about. I dont' know that's weird. I mean I'm personally a little dislexic (if that's how you spell it) so there's my excuse.

    I can read reading but I have trouble reading writing, so sorry if I did my usual and got it wrong. Rick & I got a great deal on these Chinese keyboards.

    The big problem with the Chinese keyboard is they write up and down instead of across. Remember to turn them sideways so they write across the page like this. A bit harder to type but easier to read. Except for the spelng rrors.

    Maybe something like the sidewinder could help you. Only costs around 80$ without the mouse

    That would never do. I'm sure all of the spelling errors have been purged from that keyboard. Besides, it's made by Microsoft. You probably have to shake all the words out of it after you get done typing.

    Well now just to be clear the only political message I want to send with the new avatar is it isn't my fault. I didn't vote for him.
