DiveBorg,
I only put the disclaimers in some of my posts to try (sometimes in vain) to preclude the inevitable "lectures" that some here on SB feel obligated to dish out to people.
Someone posted a thread about the best pranks pulled (or something like that) and there were a number of good harmless pranks and jokes listed, and a couple questionable ones. Of course there had to be a couple people that said diving is not joking matter etc etc basically pooh-poohing the whole idea.
It just proves once again that there is no minimum intelligence required to obtain an IP Address (dynamic or otherwise).
Personally, I think jokes can be okay (and quite amusing) as long as they don't really endanger anyone. But then again some people think I am a sick puppy on occasion.
Scott,
Hope that you all got a real big laugh out of it (and many more in the future), and that your buddy can laugh at it now. Gabriel tried to get me, but I suspected something so I didn't react. After that I was his accomplice. It still makes me smile just remembering something so simple and silly.
Wristshot.
