I thought it meant having 70 feet... use it in a sentance... um....
"If you don't believe I'm a sesquipedalian then count my feet."

Ob. Cigar content: Either my humi, my beads, or my hygrometer are
getting confused. The humi is stable at 64% with 65% beads. The
instructions with the beads say "use only distilled...", yeah, right,
how f'king anal do they think I am? Well, I'm using pure spring water,
so it has a few extra minerals in it (it's got a lot less than comes out
of my kitchen tap (fawcet (or however you spell it) for the left
pondian). I know the instructions that arrive with the beads say that
anything other than distilled may leave the beads impure and
inefficient, but how many times do I have to charge the beads before
they lose that much efficiency? I've got 4 of the cylinders, about 6"
long, in a 500[1] count humi.

1: so it says 500 in the ad, we all know it's about 200 of the sizes we
like... if you want to put 500 in they've got to be petit robustos at
most.

Um..."sesqui" means "one and a half". It has nothing to do with
70.

But then again, "septua-" only means "seven", and surely the media won't
keep referring to seven-year-old pensioners?

Personally, I am partial to "loquax" ....

But "genti" means "ty", so "septuagenarian" means "seven-ty container."

And "sesquicentenial" means "150th anniversary".

I thought it referred to the 1.5 cent manufacturing cost of a "Made in
China" anniversary flag ....

What does any of that have to do with cigars?

Yeah. And that first one shows the real reason he's deliberately
chosen to be a PITA. He thinks "cigar content" is "passing along
good deals", which is what the rest of us call "unwanted solicitation".
Ever since
he first poked his ugly, poop-covered nose in here, he's wanted
to use the group for free advertizing. When he got spanked
repeatedly for it, he got huffy. No one would buy cigars from
such an lying, stealing hypocrit, and he can't figure out why.

Ahhhh, I did not know that was the WHY, it all makes sense now.

To round out the sickological profile: When he was trying
to peddle his wares here, people complained that his posts
were inappropriate for the group, or, you might say "Off Topic".
So that set off his campaign against all "off topic" posts.
His real whine is "you won't let me post ads because they're
off topic, so I'll try to stop you from posting idle chat which
is also of topic."

He never seemed to get the point that it wasn't the "off topic",
but the solicitation that was the offensive bit. He can't see
the difference between chatting at a party and showing up at
the party to sell Am-Way.

But it should be clear that almost all people at almost all
times just absolutely loathe solicitors who steal advertizing.
I pay for a phone and an army of jerks uses it to try to sell
me siding or get me to vote for Obama. I pay for a fax machine,
and I can't use it because anonymous vendors keep faxing me
"great deals" on toner. I pay for internet access, (and
very indirectly I pay to keep the internet running) and then
these spammers clog it up with commercial crap.

The em-eye-five stuff is way less offensive, because it's less
predatory. I put a doorbell on my house, for the convenience
of my friends when they come to visit, and all it does is
attract losers who have no other goal in life but to change
my money into theirs. I didn't really put the doorbell out
there with the idea that only certain people could ring it,
but it sure riles me (and most other people) that everytime
I create a path from my privacy to outside world, it acts
as a bug light for all the little creeps who want to use
the path in reverse.

So, in short, if you take Mr. Haney, and replace the cute
rustic charm with hungry, gnawing greed, you've created a
gladyz. Or sort of like Uriah Heep after a lobotomy.
