My point was that plain speak would be far more effective and the cryptic deliverance to me actually raised more doubt on the messages contains than giving them credence.

GMTA. That's exactly where I'm at.

My post yesterday which was simply "REMEMBERTODRINKYOUROVALTINE" received several responses via Freepmail and publicly, none of which were good.

Perhaps I'm just too old (55) and have been around here too long (almost 20 years now) as I remember a more thoughtful, analytical and skeptical crowd here "back in the day." The focus on decoding these posts/messages is more like soap opera than it is the thoughtful, analytical and healthy skepticism we used to have here.

That I see what I consider to be among FR's more thoughtful and critical thinking posters caught up in all this just has me shaking my head.

Doesn't diminish the fact that I think they're otherwise really good posters, just surprised they're getting caught up in this is all.

As I said, maybe I'm just old and have been around here too long. Maybe time is passing me by and the world has changed while I have not.

Your continuing job here is to teach the skulls full of mush............
