Welcome to the 303rd issue. There was a massive, well, there were five topics about Neandertal, replications of one another, appropriate since PCR was involved. Here are the unpinged links, led by Pharmboy's topic from late April which started it all: The big winner for the second consecutive week was the Noah's Ark thing. One of our fellow FReepers is convinced that a pile of railroad ties stacked up Lincoln Logs -style, with some fresh straw strewn around, is the real deal, and keeps posting topics assuring us that a big icicle is congealed lava. I haven't added all of them, and will never ping most of them. Here's the tally so far from the latest spate: The other large section consists of topics from the archives about John Paul Jones; my interest was whetted due to a CD audiobook on the American Revolution that I picked up at the local remainder store. I also picked up one on dieting. Here's my own contribution to weight loss literature -- log off and go for a one hour walk. Come to think of it, the iPad may revolutionize fitness.
We're getting closer to a normal sized digest, a mere 49 topics compared with last week's backbreaking 82. I think we've passed the peak, and now we'll begin the long, slow, boring summer. I just hate going to the beach, cooking outdoors, and eating fresh food from the garden, don't you? During that time GGG may be in reruns of a sort -- I'd like to winnow the two million FR topics to find stuff of interest that somehow got missed.
Thanks go in alphabetical order to 2ndDivisionVet, antidemoncrat, bs9021, bushpilot1, chessplayer, Daffynition, decimon, Fennie, FootBall, Fractal Trader, Free ThinkerNY, florm15, indcons, iowamark, JoeProBono, jazusamo, markomalley, mdittmar, mnehring, Niuhuru, NonValueAdded, neverdem, nickcarraway, Orange1998, Palter, Pharmboy, SAMWolf, Saije, SandRat, smokingfrog, snippy_about_it, The Magical Mischief Tour, TigerLikesRooster, truthfinder9, and Willie Green for contributing the topics this week. If I've missed anyone, my apologies!
The offer is still open regarding the List of Ping Lists, but I've still had little response, hence I am again soliciting from all of you any and all information about any and all ping lists which you either are a member of, or operate here on FR. A big thank you for wildbill who writes: "There's a S.Texas ping list which is operated by Freeper Swinney Switch. It keeps up with articles on S. Texas, mostly Dem corruption, illegal immigrants, Mexico, and border violence. So there, you now have at least one response on ping lists."
