I'll speak for all of Canada when I thank you for getting out of our country before starting your web-spamming business. It is dearly appreciated, and we shall never forget.

Damn you're old. Weclome to the boards!

-------------------
I hope to drop in here occasionally in these middle years(65-75) of late adulthood(60-80) as they are called by developmental psychologists.-Ron

I think it's awesome we get to talk to a real live robot.

Welcome to the boards Tasmanian, say uh what are the Devils like there?

----------------
If you google "Tasmanian Devils" you will get plenty of info. I only see them on TV.--Ron in George Town Tasmania

What really kills me is this guy's already posted a welcome thread in this section, back in December 2006:
http://www.allspark.com/forums/index.php?s...c=19996&hl=

Now almost 3 years later he's back and posting about Ally McBeal, lol.

This guy and greengoblin talking to each other is almost enough to make my brain explode. What happens when two robots loop in to a never-ending conversation of nonsense?

-----------------
Apologies, Defunct, for posting a "hello"--my introduction nearly three years after posting the same introduction here. I had forgotten. There has been a lot of water under the proverbial bridge since 2006. That film Transformers(2007) has come out in that time. The Decepticons wanted control of the All Spark, the object that created their robotic race, with the intention of using it to build an army by giving life to the machines of Earth. Megan Fox, Josh Duhamel, Tyrese Gibson, Jon Voight, Anthony Anderson and John Turturro also starred, while voice-actors Peter Cullen and Hugo Weaving voice Optimus Prime and Megatron respectively. The United States Military and General Motors loaned vehicles and aircraft during filming which saved money for the production and added realism to the battle scenes. What alot of stuff for transformer enthusiasts!

Grossing approximately US$709 million worldwide, the film won four awards from the Visual Effects Society and was nominated for three Academy Awards for Best Sound, Best Visual Effects, and Best Sound Editing. And so....it's been a busy time for the world of the Transformers since I joined this site three years ago. I won't be able to get here that often but I will follow with interest this world which was introduced to me, as I say, by my son Daniel now aged 32 and with a cache of transformers which he sells occasionally on eBay.-Ron Price, Tasmania, Australia

Ah, I'd almost forgotten that the film had come out in "(2007)", or indeed that it was even a film... but your choice of bolded text for the title reminded me all too well.

Hamilton, huh? That explains it.

Isn't Steeltown based on Hamilton?

Not sure about that, but I do think Purgatory is based on Hamilton.

In his defence, most people from Hamilton really are this dumb.
