I don't think so sir. Pasta is more of the string variety that Mr. Reno mentions. Noodles are different.

You are aware that the Italian stole the pasta/noodle from China, right?
But I feel you nailed it. Its more of a colloquialism. In the states, noodles predominantly are hollow things that hold the sauces within. Pasta are stringed affairs that grasp the sauces from without.
This belies the concept because of the popularity of the Raman Noodle. Which is an endless mound of stringy pasta.
God, I am so confused. 
You're confusing my intent. I am not saying that the lasagna noodle is a Chinese dish. The sauces make it Italian.
I love to put macaroni in my chicken soup. This doesn't make it a chicken soup noodle, its still only macaroni.
The noodles may have originated in China, but the dish is definitely Italian.
I would like to say, due to this 56k connection, the Snarkpit loads so slow, that I actually lose my place while scanning pages. Actually, I lose interest so you'll have to excuse my random patterns for posting. I don't know whats wrong exactly but sometimes this site just stops loading. Am I the only one who has this problem?
Yeah, and with HL2DM not receiving much love from Valve (just some new maps since release but no/few new assets to use), all the new assets are going into the CS and DoD pool. I used some CS assets in two of my recent levels - I only used half a dozen simple props and it increased filesize by 4mb...yet people will already have those props on their PCs.
I voted 6-Other.
It seems like quite a number here haven't created a level for HL2 (or HL1) for quite a while, if at all. Snarkpit is/was seen as a resource full of talented people who practiced what they preached, which lent more weight to their comments - is this no longer the case do you think?
When was the last time everyone contributed with adding actual new *finished* content (whether that be a level, tutorial, or whatever), not just posting on the forum?
Perhaps this is the root of the issue. Consider, Snarkpit has a reputation for "Informative opinions through experience" What if this is not the path to true longevity? What if the true path to success is a combination of "Player/Mapper" viewpoints? Since I became an active member around here, I have been informed more than once that my opinion of a map is about as worthless as dog mess in the neighbors backyard. No one even considers the fact that I know what I am talking about because my profile remains void. What if I chose to keep it that way just to spite everyone?
IMO what is missing most is the camaraderie that used to be present. I am not talking about ganging up on a new member camaraderie (which seemed very prevalent when I first posted), I am talking about the kind where if a comment is made, very little if any explanation was required to be taken seriously.
I personally feel that if people would take an opinion as willingly as its given and leave the past profiles alone, the moral would elevate a bit. Call it my imagination but I am betting that quite a few people simply do not comment on maps because the reception for them is spotty at best.
I personally keep track of my profile hits. I notice a dramatic upswing every time I comment openly on a new map. This is not a good sign.
not interesting anymore because really i never have time to come on anymore.
By the way its is interesting to notice that from talking about orpheus and by the end the first page (mine anyway) you were talking about noodles and pasta and lasange.
