I'm not a fool, Tonkin.. I've been on FR for quite a while now. I know all about lurkers.
And yes, you have every right to be heard, particularly if you have something new to say. But you don't have the right to yell 'fire!' in a crowded theater.. and this forum is *very* crowded.
And I also know that every stinking time that I reload this forum, just like every other person here, that we need to keep downloading those graphics... and anyone on a modem - or even a slow DSL link - are getting killed. It's just not fair.

So I should check 1st to see if something is new before I post?
Check with who?
Maybe you can start a fact clearing thread for everyone.
Or did you mean just me?
Or just me and other Viet Nam vets?
The FR server was so bogged down tonight with traffic, that I doubt that Tonkin's graphics from Tonkin's graphics server going through your low speed modem was a problem. Given the FR server bottleneck, Tonkin's graphics through your modem had very little competition and probably slid right through.
Now your many posts, complaining -- that's a different story.
Hello, I see that a light is on, is anyone home? When you click a link to another website, you do not use FR bandwidth. How many times does somebody have to knock it into your thick skull? Are you on something tonite?
