Good grief!

 

Look at the bright side.
We've probably taught 70 or 80 members what the ignore feature is and how to use it.

 

I believe your insight is correct.

Also note: "That passes bad checks” This is the key. It is a deeply disturbing statement on the human condition. It is reminiscent of Vincent van Gogh’s last words to his brother Theo: “La tristesse durera toujours” -- the sadness will last forever.

 

yall goin fishin'?

 

 

what kind of fishin' ?

 

We were just kiddin' around on a rainy Friday and to tell the truth I wish I hadn't.

I've got 37 pm's about this thread.
Most of them are to the effect that 'blue ain't good enough for me...'

 

 

Back to the OP's Q, I use neither list. This is a message board. I read messages, even from the liked and disliked.

 

Pooper.....wouildn't you rather hear about Raoul and Blue's exploits?

 

Yeah, I got lots of jealous "friends" on here.

 

Again?

 

this thread some how turned into a disscusion of raoul and blues love life

 

Sorry man.

1. Don't use buddy. / Use ignore during fits of rage but it only lasts about a week because none of us is perfect.

2. About 8 years ago I posted I wanted to be the Gand Poobah and the webmaster happened to read it and had too much to drink. By the way that term got picked up by the pickuptruck.com site and they still use it.
Later there was a young guy on here that was uncontrollable named Lifeguardjoe. It was about the time Rockpick became a moderator and I said I wanted to be the 'Moderator of lifeguardjoe' and it came true, in word only but, it scared that kid to death.
I don't really remember what thread turned me into a goat herder and I can't be expected to remember every check I wrote.

3. The mysterious 1969 members - before 'online' as we now know it, Steve ran a message-list type subscription, you post and it got tacked at the bottom and was e-mailed to you once a week. Everyone who was a member on the list was automatically added to this site. The new database needed something in date field for those people and 12-31-69 was inserted.
The join dates are accurate starting in August 1998.
There are many old members with zero posts.
However, back in July of 1999 this site crashed and any dormant posts made before that were lost. You can sometimes find a thread started before July 1999, only because a post was added during that period in July.

 

damn it should be raoul the wise goat herder
