New thread for this week.

Congrats to all new members who joined this week!

Well, I think you should take it somewhere else. FR's not interested.

Yeah, why should FR be interested in helping cure cancer or Alzheimers by donating unused CPUs. Luddite.

Regarding your last paragraph, some respect is in order. Best not employ someone's hospitality to trash them.

Well, we asked. He just gave us an opinion/directive we didn't want to hear.

Now if we really wanted to get under the skins of the bedwetters, I vote we incorporate Ann Coulter's name into the team name.

As soon as someone decides what we're gonna do...please let me know. I'm game for any suggestion. I'm half way through my 5th unit.

No, no, no - I'll opt out of that team. Unless it's "Anorexic Bigmouths" or some such.

Not a Coulter fan, sorry ;)

I don't wet the bed, but I would prefer a more straightforward name than something from the cult of Ann.

LOL! I'm just trying to get you to use the name in order to upset folks.

See! It worked!

We need some leadership at this point.

Who will step forth and take the reins???

Perhaps a name dedicated to Ronald Reagan? We are aiming to find a cure to his disease, right?

But YOU are papasmurf? I thought you would take the reins!

To: Petronski; All

Yeah, I was thinking about Ronnie too.

I think Texas Booster should have the final say as he started this, right?

But, obviously, getting a name to fly will take some doing so perhaps we should brainstorm that.

I'm new to the team, not grabbing the reins.

Perhaps a name dedicated to Ronald Reagan?

I like this idea.

I am, and I'm sure most of you are also, a team player.

We're in this for the Research and all the good it does...the points are just extra motivation.

Let's not lose sight of that.

That being said, I'll go along with the program our leadership elects.

We just need leaders. LOL

:O)
