I was going to post the following on the Raleigh Collins thread, but then thought it would be entirely inappropriate.
I didn't know Raleigh, and to be honest never heard his name before, but then I have been outside of mainstream climbing for some time. It sounds like he was a talented man, and I'll leave it at that.
But is the thread about him climbing related? Arguable. But this is what makes this forum such a good one. I have 'learned' about a man and the outpouring of emotion has moved me, as it appears he was very well liked.
I don't consider the thread climbing related as such, yet it was about a climber. This is a diverse and varied forum - let's keep it that way.
RIP Raleigh

I'm afraid not wonder. If you take my advice you might ruin your equipment, and screw up your computer too. I know next to nothing about these things. I just learned "cut-paste-copy" about a week ago. No joke.

Hey Wonder, did you install your software for the devices yet? If you are running Windows XP and they are USB devices, they will pretty much run themselves with a little practice.

So you are the whiner? And the whole thing is Juans fault?
One of the main reasons I never wanted to go back to Mammoth was because there were to many people there like you.
Wow. That was a little harsh, considering that you don't know me and you don't know anything about me. I didn't want to stoop to your level and respond to that, but apparently I need to clarify that my above post was meant as a joke. If I wanted to attack Juan and try to make myself tough, I would have said something like "One of the main reasons I never wanted to go back to Southern California was because there were too many people like you". But I didn't say that.
I'm sorry for not taking this stuff more seriously.
Settle down, tough guy. Everything is going to be OK.

Due to the climate of political correctness now pervading America,
Kentuckians, Tennesseans and West Virginians will no longer be referred to
as "HILLBILLIES."
You must now refer to them as APPALACHIAN-AMERICANS.
And furthermore..
HOW TO SPEAK ABOUT WOMEN AND BE POLITICALLY CORRECT:

4. She is not a "DUMB BLONDE" - She is a "LIGHT-HAIRED DETOUR OFF THE INFORMATION SUPERHIGHWAY."
5. She has not "BEEN AROUND" - She is a "PREVIOUSLY-ENJOYED COMPANION."
6. She is not an "AIRHEAD" - She is "REALITY IMPAIRED."
7. She does not get "DRUNK" or "TIPSY" - She gets "CHEMICALLY INCONVENIENCED."
8. She does not have "BREAST IMPLANTS" - She is "MEDICALLY ENHANCED."
9. She does not "NAG" you - She becomes "VERBALLY REPETITIVE."
10. She is not a "TRAMP" - She is "SEXUALLY EXTROVERTED."
11. She does not have "MAJOR LEAGUE HOOTERS" - She is "PECTORALLY SUPERIOR."
12. She is not a "TWO-BIT HOOKER" - She is a "LOW COST PROVIDER."
HOW TO SPEAK ABOUT MEN AND BE POLITICALLY CORRECT:
1. He does ! not have a "BEER GUT" - He has developed a "LIQUID GRAIN STORAGE FACILITY."
2. He is not a "BAD DANCER" - He is "OVERLY CAUCASIAN."
3. He does not "GET LOST ALL THE TIME" - He "INVESTIGATES ALTERNATIVE DESTINATIONS."
4. He is not "BALDING" - He is in "FOLLICLE REGRESSION."
5. He is not a "CRADLE ROBBER" - He prefers "GENERATIONAL DIFFERENTIAL RELATIONSHIPS."
6. He does not get "FALLING-DOWN DRUNK" - He becomes "ACCIDENTALLY HORIZONTAL."
