LUDINGTON, MI - 2005-01-20
BY KEVIN GERHART
Frustrations during an online chat session between Nullset Staff Writers Kevin Gerhart and Mike Malburg rose to dangerous levels Tuesday when Gerhart was unaware that he was not actually talking to Malburg, but instead was actually talking to an auto response setting of MSN Messenger.
I got online and saw Mike’s name and thought maybe I should talk to him and see what new,” Gerhart said. “I guess I didn’t have what you might call ‘direct contact’ with him. It was more like his computer was running and some living thing must have signed in to his MSN messenger. I just found all this out a little bit late.”
The following is a transcript of the conversation.
Kevin says: Hey buddy what’s up?
Void says: I am away from the computer.
Kevin says: Well, if you are away from the computer, then how were you able to type “I’m away from the computer”?
Void says: I am away from the computer.
Kevin says: Be that as it may, you still didn’t answer the question.
Void says: I am away from the computer.
Kevin says: Ok, that’s getting annoying.
Void says: I am away from the computer.
Kevin says: Dude, if you don’t want to talk right now don’t drop hints, just lay it right on the line.
Void says: I am away from the computer.
Kevin says: You know, you are hurting my feelings.
Void says: I am away from the computer.
Kevin says: Fine!!! Jerk!!! See if I care!!! I’m going to go talk to Jordan now!!! He at least will say stuff. Lots and lots of stuff… I hate my life!!!
Void says: I am away from the computer.
Gerhart then decided against chatting with Jordan and having to listen to him talk about “a bunch of British crap that no one cares about” and proceeded to watch 6 straight hours of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine.

Wow, even as the author of this post on the Nullset, Kevin still quotes HIMSELF in the third person and reports on his surrounding actions in the article as if he were a witness to himself! Did it really take 7 auto-responses and a Nullset comment to convince Kevin that Mike was away from the computer? And as I've come to find out in MY online conversations with Jordan, the only British thing he'll talk about are chips, meat pie with beef-onion gravy, and occasionally pub-hopping. I think Jordan's secretly getting a Master's in Advanced Yorkshire Gastronomy Studies.
