Well it seemds like some FReepers want me to shut up and NOT post on threads.
They call it spamming.
Well if I didn't post the way I do the dims and media wouldn't notice.
Just ask yourself why did FOX finally run the Steve Pitkin story today?
Why did Rush mention that Edwards never served when he could have last week?
And do me a favor, come directly to me, not the Admin Moderator if you have a complaint.
So I'll shut up and toe the line.
I'd hate to upset certain FReepers.

I suppose somehow technically all this bandwidth use does interfere with my word count. ;)

You in trouble with me?
Heck no, IMPOSSIBLE!

It'll take a few minutes to do that...but you betcha! Hang on for a bit...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY,TONK!!

THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU DO!

[onyx]

OK,
now I have FR mailed you too.

[Casloy]

I got a scroll bar and a back button on my browser. I think I can figure out what I want to read and don't want to read. I like your posts.

[Syncro]

Hay onyx, welcome to the "thread of the day"

LOL

[Brad’s Gramma]

FRmail coming......

[onyx]

Okie dokie. :)

Whew, Gentlemen. Glad that's settled.

With all the work that's needed for victory at least FReepers need to keep it together.

and hey Oblongata, welcome and now that you're a fully initiated FReeper.... let me second Tonk's kudos to you for coming to the fore on the issue.

[onyx]

Thread of the day, is it? ... good thing
I can't sleep, would hate to miss the action.

[Syncro]

Well, it is past your bedtime.

Good Night.

this forum is getting overwhelmed with vanity posts

It's not just the vanity posts. It's that they are so often posted in news. I was told to post in chat.

It is irritating to scroll down in news and go past numerous chat posts.

[MEG33]

It really got funny here...glad I returned!(and I got to see Fawnn's Happy Birthday card to Tonk....;)

[Fawnn]

Our side knows how to have fun!

It's the other guys who don their hair shirts and run around yelling that the sky is falling while the scream their obscenities and.... Well, we won't get into what they consider PC “fun” behavior. ;)

"Oblongata, in your follow-up statement to 68-69TGYC, you said: "All right, I obviously stepped on some toes here . . ." I will not beat up on you or chastise you, Oblongata, because heaven knows that enough of that has been done to you already. But, I must say that I don't think that you just "stepped on some toes here." I really think that you "stepped in a pile of freshly dropped "manure" of your own making. (Question - Anyone: I am a "Newbie," can I say "manure" here)? And I gather from the rest of your statement that you are trying to apologize to 68-69TGYC and that you just don't know the correct terminology. I think I can help you with that, if you will permit me. First, there is what I call the "Kerry" way to apologize and then there is what I call the "Bush" way to apologize. If Kerry were to apologize to 68-69TGYC and all the Vietnam Vets (and I don't think that will ever happen), he would no doubt start out like you did in your apology by saying: "All right." On the other hand, if Bush ever needed to apologize to any Vets (and I don't think that he will ever do anything that he needs to apologize for), then he would start out by saying: "I'm sorry." So, may I suggest that you make another post to 68-69TGYC and begin your apology (if that is what I believe your were trying to do) by saying, "I'm sorry" and not by saying, "all right." I think there are many who feel that "all right" is not an apology, but that it is a "self-serving and self-justification" statement. Someone once said: "If you can read, thank your teacher. If you can read this, thank a Vet." WELCOME HOME, "68-69TGYC," and thank you for your service to our country."

Welcome to FreeRepublic.

Today is now the 14th.

You signed up on the 9th.

If scrolling down, sigh, through so MANY, sigh, posts is so, sigh, hard, sigh...

What a crock! I'm thrilled to be on your ping list. When I needed to be off it a little while back, I simply requested you take me off the list, and you did. When I was ready to be put back on the list, I requested that, and you complied. What kind of a moron would have a problem with your posts? They are informative, and always on topic. When I'm reading through a thread and come across a post that doesn't interest me, I just skip past it. Am I supposed to complain to the moderators?

[MEG33]

I think I'll have a Hershey's nugget and go investigate further WHO forged the documents!...Freepers rock!
