In my opinion this site is much less active than it was in the early days.

THanks. Don’t stop posting those — there’s new people all the time, and some of us old timers “fer-git”

Well, I spend more time reading the threads these days. I rarely post anything anymore.
When I do post something it'll probably have a "clickable link" in the post somewhere though. Even if it's only a "text" post without any graphic.
Anyway, I have "help links" galore on my profile page and always have had.

Tell ya what. Click the sentence that I copied from your post to me. The one at the very top of this post. See what happens Go Ahead: Click It!
Psst, You'll like it. lol

God Bless

I am sure your are correct to a point, however personal attacks in place of reasoned debate is what I am talking about.

I hear you. I think we've all been the recipients of unwarranted and unthinking personal attacks on these forums.

What can you say? It comes with the territory. You gotta grow a hide, or get off the field. Take Sarah's advice. Don't retreat - reload.

I agree that the left was never fair to Bork. I remember the quotation you cited. Despite the scurrilous accusations, the unstated motivation behind the coordinated attack on Bork was due to his role in Watergate. Bork was seen (correctly) as a warrior of the right, willing to conduct Nixon-style no-hold-barred combat with the revolutionaries. The left saw a chink in Reagan’s armor, and they struck at it.

That’s neat. You need to do one to “Who let the dogs out” for use on the doggie threads!

To get the full effect of your latest effort, I’ll have to move upstairs to my desktop computer. I’m on a lap top with a wireless connection right now that is picking up its signal from my work computer 15 miles away via my upstairs server. It’s too slow to get the full effect of the midi and the visual.

Hasn’t life gotten complicated? And I don’t do half the stuff on my computer that the young folks do.

I'll be happy to make a line of code for you to use on the doggie threads if you'll tell me the link you want to use Go Ahead: Click It!

As far as posting without the underline goes I made a post about that on the HTML help threads.

We have some very creative FReepers. One of my all time favorites is FReeper BufordP , a most talented individual.

Here is a great sample of his HTML creativity. Click Here For the 23½ Post by BufordP.

When I first joined serious, thought provoking discussion was the norm. Now many posts are simple and mindless. Major news may not get many replies but a thread on whether a woman is attractive is popular. It’s a trend happening for years unfortunately.

On the bright side we no longer have to worry about turning off tags so an entire thread is in "Italians" or all CAPS with everyone screaming for the miscreant to fix it.

Ash Alert!

Thanks! Sometimes I wonder if anyone notices. Speaking of doggie threads...

BTW, I'm not the only one who can do it anymore. Check out Jeff Winston and SunkenCiv on this thread.

My personal favorite.

Good night all!

I'm sure people notice but don't know what to make of it. I noticed the 1/2 posts from time to time but didn't pay a lot of attention other than to have a good chuckle over them.
I dismissed it all 'cause I thought it might be a "mod" having a bit of "offbeat" fun or something like that.

I didn't even notice that those were just a part of a post made by you. Which is very evident when ya take time to look. Good grief, I'm gettin' lazy in my old age. lol

It was when I read the thread you mention that I took notice and realized what was happening. It's a hoot! Go Ahead: Click It!

I went to the "in forum" and looked up some of your 1/2 posts and got a real kick out of them. Good work! They're hilarious. Very creative Go Ahead: Click It!

I've gotten so lazy in my old age I'm not gonna try to figure it out. lol. You've gotta tell me how you do it when you have time. lol

Hi Nan, long time no talk to. :)

I know exactly what you mean. My spiritual sistah was whoever, and I was devastated when she passed. I do look forward to seeing her again, though.

Come quickly, Lord Jesus!
