Wow. Hard to believe that this is the largest single collection of my works and thoughts. (Anyone know an easy way to pull an archive copy of all my posts?)
Think about it, how many forums are worth 50,000 posts?
No other ones in my estimation!
Thanks to Jim for building this virtual house, and turning it into a home for so many of us.
I'd also like to thank everyone who has invited me into their studies, offices, living rooms, bedrooms, and cubicles. You are all people I would like to meet some day, those of you who have agreed with me, and especially those who have disagreed with me.
The civil discourse, reasoned responses, Richter scale sarcasm, humor, and irony available on FreeRepublic is without peer. I feel like I've gotten a college level education in darn near everything!
There is always a FReeper somewhere who knows the inside scoop on anything, and is willing to share what they can about any given topic. It is so refreshing to be pulled up short on an incorrect concept by someone who actually has experience, not just book larnin', and can explain the facts of the matter in a clear, concise, and (usually) respectful manner.
You are all responsible for major changes in my understanding of, and attitudes towards, much of what I see in the world. It hasn't always been smooth transitions, and the road has been awfully bumpy in places, but it as always been worth the trip. Not a bad journey for a fat old fart...
WHAT IS THAT!!
Ah, there miiiiigggghhht be more... but you're not sure?
Eh, I see my brother so often I could do than anyway. ;-)
However, I don't get to pick on Nully that much... poor thing. ];-)
Lol! Go easy on bro, he's pretty cool! Nully on the other hand needs all the spankings he can get! :)
I don't pick on him much. His computer
is giving him enough trouble anyway.
Huh?
I said I miss all the fun. You said there
miiiggght be more... I won't have to
wears a lampshade & swing from the
chandeliers, will I?... Who is that standing
there holding a "Rejected" stamp?
Uh, the 'Huh?' was to the reference to me having 'puter problems.
It's my REJECT stamp.
And I didn't know you wuz a swinger...
No, my brother was having problems with his
computer. It's up & running at the moment, but
he's complaining about one of the fans making noise.
Of course, fans always make noise.
What with the screaming & all... ;-)
Fans aren't supposed to make grinding noises.
At least, fans NOT in dungeon settings don't.
I see. Fans make noises, secret admirers don't...
Ah. Well, I wouldn't know...
If I have any fans, they're
pretty quiet themselves.
Ghostly quiet? That figures.

Not really. It's called work. :-)
Oooooookay,
You, apparently, have a job...
