Hi. My friend has asked me to create him an account on this forum. He's a mac user and we go to the same school. He's new to forums, so go easy on him.

He should start posting in a bit. I'm sending him the link for this thread.

sockpuppeting ?

Too bad you just gave away that you have been around for a while, and are not the n00b that you claim to be.

Clearly, cwkmacuser is already a sockpuppet for someone else here, my bet is it's besson.

Alexander, I'm not sure I'm going to able to wait around for you to get here (way rude of you to show us up like this by the way), but when you do get here...welcome to MacNN! As a first step you should take the time to familiarize yourself with the forum, especially this thread. Read the whole thing from the beginning. It's important.

Yeah he wanted me to tell you:

"Tell your friends that i am not in a good mood and that i tried logging in but it says my password is incorrect, now i have to wait 24 hours before i can attempt to log in"

I don't know. Perhaps a communication breakdown on my part.

Is it really causing you problems that you'll be unable to overcome? Not everyone requires the same sense of order that you do.

The only way we'll be convinced is if you, cwkmacuser, and Alexander post at exactly the same time.
