Ok fine. I'll edit my surprise then. <br><br>Have we beaten this topic flat enough yet? I'll leave the mallet on the table just in case.<br><br>

Dewd, that's awesome! I think I've got an old Bell bike helmet in the attic. It's yours when you get the cable! <br><br><br><br>And I want Lester to note that I did not place an illegal apostrophe in "yours". <br><br>

Let me add to the comments of the others that the leaving of certain folks was not for their political posting but because of their personal attacks, some of them particularly vicious. In at least once case, the personal attacks had nothing explicitly to do with politics. I guess I was one of the people who contacted you recently--twice, as I recall--and that was about the porn postings. Those definitely are a problem, but deleting this forum will do nothing to take care of them.<br><br>

Comedian, huh? <br><br>Actually, that was pretty good. And I can't believe this "shut 'er down" stuff would be about cat fights. JeBeezus, if that's the case, why didn't Stan burn down the village six months ago? <br><br>This is just really weird.<br><br><br><br><br><br><br>[color:blue] Talk about things and nobody cares . . .</font color=blue>

And there's the rub with post editing/deleting. I can see an edit for spelling typos and such. But once you mess with the content, you screw up your intent.<br><br>I've always thought it was a dumb feature, anyway.<br><br><br><br><br><br>[color:blue] Talk about things and nobody cares . . .</font color=blue>

You say in your second post that you've gotten a bunch of complaints. Is it possible that you're being had? <br><br>You've said you lurk more often than we think. That's good, but if you have been, then I think you'd understand our collective jaw droppin' at your initial post.<br><br>Sooooo, I really gotta wonder. Are you sure you haven't been gettin' bogus complaints? <br><br>Sigh. This just doesn't make any sense. Maybe it's some kind of bizarro Revenge of the Socks.

Bingo. <br>I'll do a hit and run here every now and then just to stir things up. But it's no damn fun anymore. <br><br>

Duly noted. That particular error very common. 2 gold stars for you!<br><br><br><br><br><br>
