>I'm impressed that you are able to keep track of so many things over an extended period, considering that apparently 3.5 hours are long enough for you to forget a question that you asked.

>Let's recap.

Let's not.

>In fact many people do sometimes forget to do those other things. But those other things are all easy to correct with little or no negative consequences when they forget so the penalty is small for not developing an ironclad system to never forget them.

Sucks to be them, then I guess.

Perhaps you've forgotten to do something important while you were making unsupported statements about what I know/don't know/remember/don't remember and blathering on about something or other?

I'll keep using my (apparent) super powers to be a responsible adult. Perhaps others should try it instead of whinging about forgetting important things.

Or not. It's no skin off my nose either way.




Well then, if your failure to understand HeatrayEnjoyer's comment is not due to overlooking the word "before" and not due to forgetting they were answering a question you asked, what is the explanation?


This thread weirds me out because not paying a domain has the effect of first receiving alerts and then not receiving mails anymore. People who manage to miss both probably didn't need the address in the first place.


I didn't "fail to understand" anyone's (yours included) comments.

Adults take responsibility for their lives. They pay their bills and do the things they say they're going to do.

To anyone who whinges "ooh, what if I forget to pay my bills. It would be so sad. But I shouldn't be held responsible."

Please.

Maybe that flies with mommy and daddy, but to anyone else it comes across as immaturity.

To those folks I say, "Grow up and pay your bills. What? Are you 12?"

If you can't or won't, that's your fault.

Is that a good enough explanation for you?


Please keep it professional.
