Job Interviews

Isn't the fact that the *author* of the queried post replied with a
reference (however unfathomable) sufficient to verify authenticity?

 

You still think "smileys" are clever in 2010??

(and actually want to litter newsgroup posts with them?)

 

That you only get a promotion opportunity every two decades?

 

Yay the Betty-Faction!

 

Sometimes tells others that you are not really serious.

 

Plain English has been doing that for centuries.

Normal children don't have to draw pictures to illustrate their tales
after they're 10 or so.

 

I'm sort of thinking "Yes Minister" the more I hear about this school

That may be technically accurate, but there are other sub groups which
exhibit similar behaviour.

In recent years various SF gatherings have been increasingly subject to
the trend called 'cosplay' which is in effect 'showing off in
magnificent clothes'.

To the point where it's taken on it's own life separate and distinct
from the conventions.

I don't think that just because Zebees example is a subgroup that you
can assume the tendency isn't widespread, or else why do similar effects
occur amongst unrelated groups?

Geez, you folk either don't get out much, or wander about with your eyes
closed.

Go up to Pie in the Sky, more or less any half decent day.

Look at the push bike riders and the motorcycle riders.

Pay attention when you do so.

Omigod! You're right! If I get the job I don't think I'll ever be able
to look the Head in the eye without thinking of Jim Hacker and
giggling.

betty, also starting to see the similarities
between Bernard/Sir Humphrey and the
members of the Betty Faction. Wotta hoot!

A motorcycle rider in lurid leathers is getting the same protection as
one in a plain black set of the same kind. but is signalling other things as well.
What they aren't signalling is a dislike of shopping...

One thing the cultures do give is the ability to wear things the
dominant culture frowns on.

Not all members of the subcultures do take that opportunity, you'll
find motorcyclists in plain leathers, cyclists in plain lycra, and
people at SF cons who don't dress up. But the cultures allow and
approve dressing up and people take the opportunity.

Gahan Wilson had a series of cartoons on the theme "When you are a
grownup" and my favourite is "When you are a grownup you get to play
dressup with real things"

gauntlets with sliding rivets, a burgonet helm with bevor and
moving visor, a longsword, two rapiers, and a schiavona arming
sword. My inner 13yo is ecstatic!

Start thinking up your irregular grammar examples now.

is a raving loony"

It would be if authenticity was the issue at hand.

However it wasn't.

Content of the message was the issue - I was curious to read what she
had written as the reply had quite rightly snipped much of the message
away

I wouldn't go to a job interview dressed as a Betazoan in Starfleet
uniform.

....unless I was doing an audition for the show. Then I would!

It is, except that email isn't *on* google groups for some reason I
find.

If you go to groups.google.com, select Advanced Search and feed the
Message IS of a post into the message ID search box at the bottom of
the advanced search page you'll get the post it is referring to.

try it with

A look back through the thread on google groups doesn't produce the
post in question, so it never made it there.
