Half of the Clan of Sane Elite have decided that you are worthy of membership. You now have the right to use our signature and to accept new members alone or in coorporation with other members until such a time where you use the right not according to the rules of the clan by accepting a no worthy member or not accepting a worthy one.
You are member #3.
You are hereby
Are Canadians allowed in?
But since we aren't talking about 'the' clan, and I don't think I ever make outlandish claims about future Harware/Software, I think I qualify???
<strong>Hey, this cool....
Are Canadians allowed in?
</strong><hr></blockquote>
Yes. Everybody is allowed membership of Sane Elite if they don´t make insane posts.
I regard this as an formal application so you are now member #4

<strong>For a second I thought that this was a thread about the KKK. And coming from an Aryan no less...

You qualify indeed! Welcome member #5 You now have the right to give membership and use our signature.
<strong>This is a bad idea, it will make people eventually feel inferor, no class system!</strong><hr></blockquote>
I think about 95% of the posters here could become members of Sane Elite. This is not an initiative to make first and second class members but to raise the awareness of the quality of the posts here. Its a total private initiative and anyone could make their own clans, like the "I want a Cube as iMac" club if they wanted to.
All people have to do is to post two times in future hardware and make sense in them. Then they can become members. And wanting a G6 doesn´t disqualify them. Not even thinking it will be in a iBook tomorrow. But posting that it will be in the iBook because small Apple portables are known to explode and today (on the minus 6. day) the sign at apple.com say be prepared to be blown away would disqualify you, at least for a periode.
I have a small hope that people will be more realistic in their posts so we don´t create more hype than nessesary. Maybe then we don´t have to have one month of "Fucc Apple they always lets us down" after each keynote.
But of course: If the mods think its a bad idea I´ll stop right away

<strong>Like my new signature?</strong><hr></blockquote>
Actually yes. I might join after MW
-robo
Since Nebagakid is making SOME sense:
Sane Elite is now Public Domain. It can be used by everyone. It is now an "awareness signature" that shows that this person tries to think before he posts and think it is importent to do so to keep this place worth visiting. This is an attemp to avoid the twice annual month of high flying unrealistic hopes followed by Apple bitching around the MW shows.
<strong>Geez.. it's 6 days to Macworld, and this is the best thread we can come up with? :eek:

Huh??? If you go to FH I think you can find lots of action there.
But of course I´m flattered that you call it the best thread

Hahaha...
We can have a stable two party system too! We'll become the superpower of the UBB world.
Here's a guy who gets nearly every so called scoop wrong, yet somehow whips up a frenzy of optimistic speculation where-ever he pops up.
