You're quite welcome, too bad it's not out there anymore.

Our last night at Staniel Cay we happened to notice that the family in
the picture was eating dinner at the table next to us. We exchanged
EMAIL addresses and they were thrilled to get the pictures.

That's half the fun of Usenet - the entertainment value.

Chuck's message board isn't usenet. This place is.

I've been libeled, slandered, and insulted!

My lawyer will call yours.

Talk about losing perspective.

Wayne made a comment about losing entertainment value once a user has
been booted from a private forum.

I mentioned that, with respect to entertainment value, Usenet provides
plenty of same.

To which you replied that we weren't talking about Usenet.

I would point out that I WAS talking about Usenet in reference to
relative entertainment values of the two forms of discourse - this
being more open and free form which private forums prefer not to
provide being more focused and topic specific.

I'm fairly certain that most people here understood that.

Now that I know you have a cognition problem with respect to comparing
A to B I'll be sure to explain it to you in future posts.

All you DO here is whine, warp17

It may have been you, but someone suggested that Harry, JimmyH, and Donny be
the moderators.

I think that's a great idea, then we could just watch them jerk each other
off, since that's all that would be happening over there.
