Gotta Say Goodbye FReepers
5/10/05 | the usual suspect

Posted on 05/10/2005 5:05:33 PM PDT by Diogenesis

First vanity post:

The Administrator of FR has made it clear that my posts are no
longer wanted here. They have been erased for reasons unclear
with the Administrator being incredibly disingenuous about "spamming".
I posted a picture twice and IMHO that is not spamming.
It is not worth wasting further effort here, in that light.

In any case, I wish the best to FReepers and want to thank you all
for teaching us so much. I am especially grateful to Jim Robinson
for the wonderful opportunity to have posted so many hundreds of pictures
glorifying the good deeds of America and its generous, brave, just and caring people;
pictures that would have otherwise been ignored by the MSM.

Take care, FReepers, and stay safe.

Time to 'roll' on.

I can't believe you've ever had a post pulled. That to me is amazing.

I had no idea what you were talking about. But instead of putting a pancake on my head, I looked up your posts.

You really need to do something about the size of those hummers. That animated gif was 750 K bytes! Yikes. That's a 3-minute [insert Jeopardy jingle here] download for somebody on a dial-up line. And that was right next to another 208K monster.

Go buy Photoshop Elements or something and learn how to squash the file sizes.

That "Fort Marcy" thing you've posted a couple of times is a 90K file. That's 21 seconds on a dial-up. Here's mine:

I took yours and shrunk it to 10K... a 2-second download. Have some mercy on the dial-up folks.

I think he's been busy lately trying to get his FR homepage visitor counter to turn over the 100,000 mark all by himself.

Givin up....hmmmm? FR is NOT about "giving up"....

One may leave for a while w/o posting....but posting an epitaph.....can be...well..a bit unseemly and most likely untimely.

Those of "us" that have been disciplined....and I bet most that have skirted the edge....are proud long-term members of the fraternity. The edge is the place to be.....

These forums appreciate it when we resize our pictures to the minimum size possible (while still being recognizable). 200 pixels tall is the rule of thumb, though pictures that contain text often require a larger scale to maintain readability. The formulas and how-tos are on this thread.

I hope you check that out and reconsider your departure.

Take care Dio - you've done more good than you'll ever know here. It's a shame. Hate to see you go, but wonder how far I am behind you. Not far, I imagine.

Sadly, we parted company long ago from the MSNBC BBS. I'm sure this isn't a serious situation with admin, here. Lay low and come back when the smoke clears.

Anyone who ever saw more than one Terri thread knew that spamming was your forte. Sorry to see you go, but if you can't take valid criticism, then you need a softer, gentler forum.
