And why do people change aliases every so often?

Just wonderin'!!
Sorry I'm a little late to the conversation here. Hey original poster, I am willing to bet the name on your birth certificate is not "pikov22"....
However, if it is, you have the coolest parents ever.
Or I was born in a different country, perhaps? The "22" is because my gmail account starts with pikov22.....

I can't give you the grumpy old man adjective. I have that one reserved for Avi123.
He has you beat by a mile.

My alias allows me to be a crazy conspiracy theorist without being abducted by reptile-like aliens.
President-pretender, J. Biden, said "the DNC has built the largest voter fraud organization in US history". Too bad they didn’t build the smartest voter fraud organization and got caught.

Just to be pedantic AND grumpy.... "grumpy old man" is not an adjective. And I don't care about Avi123. I'm grumpy, I'm old, and I'm a man! So there. ;=P

Just because they haven't gotten to you yet doesn't mean they're not coming!

Just so I am clear on this:
  • You want "expert" advice;
  • You want the credentials of the "expert" confirmed; and undoubtedly
  • You want all this for "free".
Yeah, GFL on that.
I thought that the purpose of forums like this one was to help people, free of charge.

Well maybe I will re evaluate my grumpy old man list. I am sure there's room for more than one.
I was trying to interject some humor... I guess I failed.
English grammar has never been my strong suit.

There is no free lunch in the universe. To get advice you have to put up with a variety of advice - good or bad or indifferent and put up with the social chatter and bitch fights.

"Grumpy" and "old" are both used as adjectives in the phrase "grumpy, old man."

"Grumpy old man" is, indeed, entirely adjectival in the phrase "grumpy-old-man list."

It is also adjectival in the phrase "Grumpy Old Man Pikov," as in the sentence: "Grumpy Old Man Pikov characteristically attempted to correct Pugsy instead of trying to get the point of what was being said."

Or: "Grumpy Old Man Pikov implied that he wanted help learning this stuff from us because none of us seem to know what the heck we are talking about."

I've noticed that some people come to the forum to seek advice...some come to share their expertise and some come because they have too much time on their hands. (You can put me in any category you like).
