LOL>.. you mean just like every other topic? LOL

You got it :-))

But you can see from the posts since your suggestion that we're already divvying up nicely already.

"Don't you owe me some Truth there Mr. Justice?"

Truth? You can't handle the truth.

I do what I can. It's a calling...

You could say it's a gift.

"am certain Jim would not have ever made those few suggestions he did."

While you're up there, would you mind checking for polyps?

It may be your sense but it isn't a statistical fact. The usage reports show, although traffic may ebb and spike with the news, traffic is higher today than a year ago.

People come they go, it happens to all websites.

LOL,,great line and from a great movie too...

But try me anyway.

You mean the space shuttle Challenger? No, that was pre-FR. Oh...you must mean the Columbia.

BTW, I did help launch the Challenger - I was sitting at the C-9 (instrumentation) console for that one - tape recorders and such. I still recall the screen in front of me freezing on the loss of downlink. The booster chamber pressure readings had fallen off on one side. It was an emotional time.

The next day I walked throught the VAB and the Discovery was hanging there in the horizontal, preparing for ET mate. I wondered if I would ever see it launched.

Eighteen months later, I did. I got the entire STS-26R crew to sign my pilot's logbook ;-)

You'll note that the same people who wanted Jim to go easy on moderation are now up to their necks in Nazis. Irony can be ironic sometimes.

Traffic is higher? Where are they, the Hobbit Hole?

That you "don't know" sums it up nicely. -- Thanks.

You're welcome.

Nice that I could to have stumbled upon a phrase, no matter how tranparently facetious, of which you display complete understanding in the end.

Thank you very much for your attentiveness to my humble commentary. Your feeling compelled to add a postscript was particularly gratifying, with your syco's bonus adding, to your compliments, subtlety unsurpassed since Sherman's march to the sea.

"You could say it's a gift."

Or a cry for help.:>)

[snopercod]

Afterthought: Can you strip out the stats for "News/Activism"?

[truthandjustice1]

"But try me anyway."

In what way...

[Neets]

Oh jeesh...Not THAT way...

[Catspaw]

Or a cry for help.:>)

Chad, you walked right into that one....I'm beginning to feel the start of a bwahahahaha comin' on.

[Chad Fairbanks]

You could say it's a gift.

Ya just HAD to go and ruin the moment, didn't you ;0)

[Neets]

HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!

That was funny!!!

[Chad Fairbanks]

Nah. No cries for help... I make OTHERS cry for help. It's not an easy job, but someone's gotta do it ;0)

[Catspaw]

Ya just HAD to go and ruin the moment, didn't you ;0)

It's a gift, a special special gift.

I got it from trout.
