Does FR need a ZOT category? (Vanity)

I have a wee tiny suggestion for Free Republic.

Is it at all possible to have a ZOT category, just as for General chat, or smokey back room?

It would be genuinely nice to have a place where the shame of so many trolls could be put on public display!

Thanks Mods!

Yah. But the corporate website is being difficult.

[Monkey Face]

Dang. How are you feeling today?

[sionnsar]

Better than the past 3 days. Back in the office, anyway.

But booking the travel is getting annoying. I reserved the hotel in Las Vegas this morning (I missed the e-mail two weeks back with the info), but getting flights is difficult; I either have to fly out really early in the morning or arrive late at night.

And for Strasbourg I realized last night I'll be maybe 70 miles from my German boss -- I wanted to send an e-mail to him but something crashed and didn't recover until after he would have gone home, so I have to wait until tomorrow for that.

[Monkey Face]

Ick. Must be Monday!

[sionnsar]

With a vengeance. Suddenly remembered I have a journal editorial due tomorrow.

[Monkey Face]

Oops!

[sionnsar]

Yah. I’ve had it on my list for a couple of months, and have fired off an inquiry or two to the office, but I guess the Germans are still on vacation.

[sionnsar]

So how are you today?

[Monkey Face]

How dare they?

[Monkey Face]

I’m a little tired. I’ve spent the last few days and nights feeling pretty icky, but I’m hoping the worst is over with now. I hope. (I hope.)

[sionnsar]

LOL. I actually the e-mail about this three months ago. I guess it’s time to start.

[sionnsar]

Hope so. I was able to eat dinner last night and am going to essay lunch shortly.

[Danae]

How are you doin?

I want to say thanks for hosting the undead thread here all month! Its been awesome. I feel honored to have not only gotten ZOT into the title of a thread and NOT gotten zotted, and even more so to have been able to share a lot of laughs on this thread! Thanks guys!

I have been meaning to ask for the longest time, do you play Bag Pipes? My Uncle has played for ever, was a Drum Major up in the Tacoma Wa area for a while as well. I noticed your name and looked at your page forever ago and wondered about that must be a thousand times!

I saw that you mentioned your job, how is all the jet lag going? ;) More than tolerable I hope!

[Monkey Face]

We’ve enjoyed our time here, for sure, Danae! Thanks for being such a gracious hostess!

[sionnsar]

Danae, I do play the pipes -- or rather, did, because I am not currently playing. Too much travel. There's a fair chance I might have known your uncle during my piping days. Tacoma Scots Pipe Band? Clan Gordon?

Jet lag is a problem with overseas trips, especially with time shifts of 8 hours or more, but one gets used to it. Somewhat.

We will be moving on from this thread soon -- thanks for hosting us!

[sionnsar]

Whew! That was a haul, but I but sent off the editorial.
