This thread was full of unnecessary vicious attacks on the principals in this event, all personal, and loaded with many foul and sexual innuendos that the posters thought were funny and cute. I suppose my rant didn't do much good, but I feel better for doing it. I hate things that reflect badly on this board that I love so much.
Zell Miller's new book is on the stands. It's called "A Deficit of Dignity". Some of the bitter losers, nasty cynics and classless comedians who add nothing to our discussion threads except "look at me" should pick up a copy of Zell's book and read it.
Ivan, you and I signed up here around the same date. We're long-timers from the great class of '98. We came through the rough times. We're tested and will persevere. No one runs us off.
All these years I never failed to read every one of your posts that I spotted. You will leave a tremendous void if you leave. Please think this over.
Bahama Mama wants to see you on a freeper cruise in the future. We'll hoist an ale and raise a toast or two (or three) to our great countries. With regards and admiration,
Leni
I'll celebrate your good news tonight with my standard FR Happy Event treat......a double chocolate Dove Ice Cream Bar (chocolate ice cream and dark chocolate coating, oh, my).
Here's to you, kid (my best Bogie voice).
