This was allegedly posted very briefly on the McDonnell Douglas Website by an employee there who obviously has a sense of humour. The company, of course, does not have a sense of humour, and made the web department take it down immediately (for once, the 'IMPORTANT' note at the end is worth a read too....)

What a thread. Thanks.
I see Darks got back to you with the question of why gopc was deleted. I wasn't on the superbowl thread that others were on, but he'd started a thread all on his own. There was a meltdown occuring; Sharkey and I were on that thread for a few posts, and were having quite a bit of fun. Meg33 pointed out that gopc seemed to be hitting some hot buttons - racism, homosexuality, christianity - and thought he was a troll. I guess the mods agreed. Gopc slammed MEG33 for enjoying the super bowl, and in spite of Meg saying she didn't drink, called her a drunken tard and said he would do last "rights" for her when her liver gave out.
Thanks...
Mark...
Morning, everyone. It is cold, rainy and foggy this morning. I'm going to find my ground hog and kill him.
lol - outstanding.

They also started our dock yesterday, so it's a little exciting and confusing around here at the same time.
I haven't noticed any pics or posts from Westy when I've had a chance to lurk. Has anyone checked to see if he's ok?
Ain't no sunshine when you're gone...
Have a ball down there.
I checked in with him the other day, and he was just laying low for the time being... Kind of like me lately :)
The water's surface is like glass, Gran.
Have a great time with your niece. :)
You have freepmail.
That does look like chaos!:) sure your next pic will show much progress.....
