Was I supposed to do a vanity when I signed up?
I had lurked for almost 10 years so I knew the regulars.
I flew on to this site in a fury of vanities.
Got shut up.
Listened.
Put toe in and grew up.
Only took 19 years and I still don’t know shit.
Same here...lurked for four years before signing up...can't even remember what was my "maiden post".
When my son signed up about four years later he posted an introductory rant--in News--about the new electronic voting machines in our county which were programmed to prevent "undervoting" on "vote for no more than two" sections of the ballot.
NOBODY took him to the woodshed for posting in news.
We are not changing for the better.
