Yeah, wtf was that about. It's one tiny little view of messengers told to us like it's everything.

eeehhhh

I wouldn't really call it culture, though. Alleycats are just guys and girls all over the world meeting together and having a lot of fun, no? I don't mean it in an offensive way; I have a lot of respect for messengers out every day, I know I certainly could cope with it.

I don't really know what I would call culture, I think it's more the collective sum of a large number of people's achievements and actions. Meh, I'm a chemist, not an artist :P

eeehhhh I don't really know what I would call culture though.

Although 'culture' as in the cultivation of bacteria also works in this context ;P - I think it is right to call any behavior characteristic of a particular social group 'culture'.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

> Quote text by starting lines with >

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```
Your code goes here
```
Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.

If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
