Chat logs from the dawn of time.

Some conversations were almost like ones we would have to-day.

13:21 David: mereik will be most displeasesd
me: Will he?
He is a far kinder fellow than you think.
You always think the worst of the teachers; or, possibly, of yourself.

Unreasonable requests were sometimes made.

13:22 David: What is this tune???

Questions were asked.

13:28 me: Do you think that I should pay more attention to you?
Is that it?
So.
David: YYYYEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSS
me: How long will the Afrikaan lecture be?
David: 800
13:29 me: In minutes, not in kstreeeeth, please.
David: 45
13:30 me: Your lecture.
David: 44
me: Five or ten minutes!
It is a simple question.
David: No
me: Please answer it thus.
No?
You would dare defy me?
13:31 David: It is neither 5 nor 10 minutes.
so no.
me: Is it between those two tallies/
?
David: PERHAPSE
me: Sir, what is the true sum, that does bubble ichorously in your bowels?
13:32 David: MABYEE 5 or 10 munutes...
me: Choose one.
Five would be better.
David: BOTH

Capslock was sometimes on.

20:23 me: Bilbo, Bilbo, Bilbo Baggins...
Bravest little hobbit of them all!

20:29 David: Leonard Nimoy?
20:31 me: How did you know?
I only encountered it to-day.
David: WE HAVE ENCOUNTERED IT BEFORE
YOU HAVE NOT
me: It's awesome.
It'll be on my iPod in a moment.
20:32 David: KESLEY IS ONLYNE
YOU WILL ASSIST US ON NUMBER 24
20:41
me: Eh?
Oh, math.
Sort of coding right now...
David: ON WHAT ?
me: can I email you my thoughts in the morning?
c#
David: AAAAHHHH
YOU WILL NOT LEARN MORE CODE THAN US
me: Too late!
This has tooltips.
I am unstoppable.
20:42 David: YOU WILL ESCORT US TO SECTOR ZERO-ZERO-ONE
IF YOU RESIST, YOU WILL BE DESTROYED
me: Dude, I really have to go.
David: BYE

And some confrontations were inconclusive.

This has been a lovely trip into memory lane for me. I may revisit it if others were entertained. (As the title implies, I'm rather planning to.)
