So, its obvious by now I write insanely long posts sometimes. Credits include: "The Resume" :D Hey, Im a writer, its what we do.

In another thread (confessing my comm badge sins) on ten forward, user hort woot told me I should change my name to tl;dr009. Well, when he said it, I honestly didnt know what he meant at the time. And replied back saying so. Before I sent the reply off, a funny alternate definition came to my mind of what it could be meaning, "text length destroys retinas", because Im sure that might have happened to you if you had read my epic thread "Diamond in the rough...or just a crazy nut? Would YOU have hired me?" Obviously, I can make fun of myself, been doing it for years, whatever it takes to get the laughs I always say, even at my own expense. And since Im in love with STO, expect to see many of my threads and posts to come with a warning or reply of tlDR. Ive added it to the urban dictionary. Feel free to use it free of charge. And think of me when you do, lol. ;)

    Yes Yes, I know what it means NOW. But my alternate guess was so good, I thought it just had to become official internet canon. :D

    Welcome to the game and the forms. Personally, I don't mind long posts as long as they're about something worth saying/reading.

    Since you hadn't heard the expression before, I'll note that another form is "teal deer" (from an attempted pronunciation of it) - that is, a blue-green herbivore.

    The sad thing is the post isn't even actually a long post. Yet still nobody is reading it. :p
