Default Hub and weird posts..

I have seen many odd posts like this from him, and a few others. Is this some odd thing about these fourms, just me, or ? Sorry if I seem ignorant, this is only my second day here. <IMG SRC="/phpBB/images/smiles/icon_smile.gif"> -Colt

Attempting to interpret HUb'bbish is one of the most challenging and interesting of pursuits. As GrabOraft said, just have patience. It will all come in time. But you must also be aware that it's a subject so deep you will never be able to comprehend it in full. [img]/phpBB/images/smiles/icon_wink.gif[/img]

(BTW, it helps a little if you read his posts phonetically, rather than looking for commonly accepted spellings.)

Thank you very much. I thought he might have been copying and pasting code from something. Does he have English as a second language or something? I really wonder why so many people on the internet have trouble with speaking English. : Well, thank you again. -Colt

But in HUb's case, he's even served in the USAn military, apparently.

Yes, they can be difficult to understand, but they can have an almost poetic quality (very modern/minimalist, of course). Timothy Leary would have loved these posts. Give them time, and they will grow on you.

Colt, you aren't the only one who on many occassions doesn't understand Hub. I have trouble reading his posts too at times. [img]/phpBB/images/smiles/icon_wink.gif[/img] But I've gotten used to it hehe.

hub' are you listening? (typing?) I have a quick question: are you using a speak to type word processor? You konw like the ones where you say a sentance into it and they computer types it up. That would make sense in the jumbled words and syntax.

It can't be a text browser only as others have described because even then you can see that your coding does not work as well as you think it does. This is not a graphically based forum (well mostly not) it is all tables and javascrypt, so hub' should be able to see it as we do.

Concrete poetry, indeed. And I appreciate that quality.

The problem with HUb's posts is that we never know if they are astronomy related (some definetely are not). Thus, one never can be sure whether his posts are compliant with the board's rules or not. And that seems unfair, since I myself have been questioned by BA before, both as to the authenticity and orientation of some posts of mine, even when they were

a)written in a reasonable United Nations English (like this one)and

b)clearly astronomy-oriented.

In some places of this planet this is called "two-weights-two-mesaures policy".

I, too, am baffled by Hub's mode of communique. I am equally baffled by Grapes' seeming ease with translating it. (Of course, Grapes has some internet mastery that I can't figure out either.) Maybe I am too much of a left-brained thinker to figure it all out!

OK, but this has really got me curious. The sixth post down, Grapes links to a previous thread that Hub' had posted and was doing a lot of writing on. On one of the posts, Hub' is talking about the news coverage of the D.C sniper investigation in Tacoma, and the post is dated for "2002-09-21 21:56". Huh?????

Nothing personal, HUb'.

Once I said I liked your posts. They remind me of a branch of poetry called "concrete poetry" (I don't know if there's such a thing in the US or BC - It is a Latin American urban poetry style), though I can hardly understand them.

But I'm improving.

Why don't you use it here? I don't mean this in a mean way (there is nuthing behind it at all), i'm just asking. Can you post a sample of what hubbish sounds like from a speak to type transmitter and then post the same message your usual way. Kind of a hub' rosetta stone type thing. ?
