Tone of voice on the forum

Interesting observation, Teacher. Maybe someday after you have had a cocktail or two too many, you will give us your descriptions of the people you have "met" on the message board.

After many years on this message board I finally met many of the members and they were and sounded just as I imagined. Even their voices were as I heard them in my head. Yes I do hear voices sometimes :laugh:

The only surprise was AZB. I won't give it away, you'll have to find out yourself.

As a business student, we are required to take Business Writing and Communications courses that have taught us to watch our own tone when communicating in written format as well as being aware of the tone of those we are communicating with. The differences between the posters in this forum is extensive and I usually take that into account before forming a reply.

Half the people I have met physically [as opposed to via the board, thank you] don't look or sound anything like I had imagined them! If you check out the media gallery at least you can get some idea of how people look, but as for voices and personalities, I enjoy the surprises that I invariably get when I meet someone from the board for the first time. But I'm with Ken - I'd love to hear some of your descriptions Teacher

Oh, and Anna, I hear voices all the time!

I'm not surprised, DB. I saw you downing all those drinks at Eddy's bar

here's my take on a few of the regulars

Had to jump in here and at least give my impression.... mind you I am hiding behind a curtain and no one knows who I am.... Anyway, I am keeping it to a physical description for the fun of it.....

HillBilly - White longish hair, trim, 60's, 6ft tall+, blue eyes, tends to wear tailered shorts, no open toed shoes and a loose long sleeve cotton button down.

Robert - Studious looking. Glasses, average frame, green eyes, 5'7 or so, short hair, cigars, nice watch, dirty blonde hair.

Escott - tall, slim, 40's, brown hair, sculptured face, wears mostly full length pants with polo type shorts.

Ken - Aristocrat, big smile, sturdy - muscular - athletic. Dresses casual but cleans up nicely. I would say 6Ft+, grey hair, light complextion.


There are others that I could guess at but wondering how I did?

Er........not too well (said in a kindly tone of voice). Actually, not bad at all on HB, who has trimmed down a lot........never seen him in shorts, though. ...........I wouldn't have said Robert looks 'studious', but I expect that depends on the subject one is studying & sorry, never met Ken so I can't comment.

Not very well overall, I'm afraid. On me, I'd give you a grade of B.
