We’re old
I was 43 in 2000 when I joined

At almost 68 I’m younger than the mean

Jews here can defend themselves

Some of our best posters and a few are my favorites

The Bahamas guy and musician fellow come to mind

But we are living the evolution of an early net forum

[wardaddy]

Me too

The left is now openly anti Israel and often anti Jewish

The former is not exactly interchangeable with the latter

I don’t think this forum is a wellspring of either

However here twenty years ago it was forbidden to openly criticize any minority group except Muslims and Afrikaners and my group southerners

But was that helpful?

I respect this poster and he is informed

That’s a plus

[wardaddy]

Nearly 400 replies
Yet real news here rarely gets over 50

Proves your point

Its stale here

[Pelham]

That appears to be the main reason that some are here.

If FR auto-filtered snark and flippancy then posting volume would be maybe one tenth of what it is now. It’s turned into the Nextdoor app.

A lot of the posters I once looked forward to reading have died off. No more Bill Flax. No more Kenny Bunk. Age happens.

I am NOT crotchety!!!

At least now we can point out FACTS about these groups and let the readers do the deciding!

Age happens.

So does the Grim Reaper.

You have no chance to survive make your time.

I presume you know how to format the script.

[anton]

And, you are telling us . . . why?

[wardaddy]

Yes I agree

[daniel1212]

The change that I would like is the REPLY NUMBER that you are responding to with the PRIVATE reply be included.

You mean you want private replies to show the To number as is the case in the forum replies.

[daniel1212]

What script (if I understand you correctly)

I presume you know how to format the script.</p>

Oh, I thought that you meant the Fr reply issue. I know little about AutoHotKey coding, and I am using AutoHotkey Unicode 64-bit ver. 1.1.37.2 Below is the top of my script, defining corresponding hot keys. The semicolon ; separates notes from the script codes that begin with >#+1::Run C:\Program Files (x86)\BPBible\bpbible.exe I left out most of the lines. You can add more yourself. In Windows (not Linux) you can right click on a shortcut to a app or folder, hit Properties to find location. , You place Return at the end of a the code section, though I see I have one separate one. The last two are as described, copied from a source, thank God. Intended to be used for God and for sound doctrine. Hope it helps in that.
