Let's cast our votes to decide which member of the 'POS is most likely to commit one of the most embarrassing computer mistakes one can make: forgetting to plug the computer in. In a week I'll tally up the votes, and we'll see if the mods can give the winner a special tag.

Tech support guy: Sir, did you check to make sure that a power cable is securely connected to both the back of the computer and a functioning wall outlet.
Yospos: Listen here you Indian, I'm no computer chump. I have 3 versions of Linux on my computer. I've programmed in every language, even fortran. (*realizes computer isn't plugged in*) Never mind, I fixed the problem on my own. Thanks for wasting my time.

with some creative work you can make it appear the opposite color of "read" posts in amber/green at the cost of looking like poo poo in every other forum, with the stylesheet removed, or when the post is not read
