A 10-year-old pointed a finger gun. The principal kicked him out of his Tenn. school for a year.

I’m afraid you’ll have to be move explicit...I still don’t have a clue what you mean. To start with, what is a “To” box???

It has to be something other than replying like I am doing now...Just “reply” and it’s done..

Just begin at the beginning and explain what you’re trying to do...

“move explicit” - make that MORE explicit...sorry!

I’m listening to a CD of the Tijuana Brass and losing my train of thought..

I don't know.... It would seem those "educators" are screwing up this entire nation. I think we tend to underestimate our enemies..

But, They sure do come off looking like "morons and idiots lead by imbeciles."

“A 10-year-old pointed a finger gun. The principal kicked him out of his Tenn. school for a year.”

Local elections don’t matter, according to numerous FReepers.

Perhaps someone needs to show him the difference between a finger gun and a real gun.

But maybe he thinks the finger gun identifies as a real gun.

"Yet he does occasionally play with imaginary guns, seems almost a genetic impulse in us males at those ages."

Someone just recently put this quote from Aristotle on FR and it sure seems to be holding true...

“Masculine republics give way to feminine democracies, and feminine democracies give way to tyranny."

I'm not trying to do anything. I'm just trying to understand why, when you want to reply to someone, and when you go to the reply page, people, intentionally delete the name in one of the 2 text boxes on the reply page. the first is the “To: Box” or field, where the person you are responding to is listed, and you can add other names separated by semicolons.. the second text area is for the text of the reply.

If I understand you correctly, you’re talking about replying to a FReeper’s post on a certain thread. There won’t be any name in the “TO” spot except the FReeper you’re replying to unless you want to ADD another FReeper in the reply if it is covering the same subject or questions...The “TO” is automatically in filled with the FReeper name the minute you hit REPLY to the post you are on....

No one else has access to your reply whether you are responding to one FReeper or several in one reply so how can anyone delete any other names?

I’m just trying to understand...the world will continue to spin - the tide will still come in and go out...

My evening is coming to a close or at least for me at the computer so have a good evening...The Atlanta Braves are waiting for me on my TV..

I think you’ve hit on something that has often puzzled me - why there is a reply post WITHOUT a recipient named “TO”.....

#3 - TO: Gene Eric - “Principal seems like a tyrannical ass” WITHOUT showing WHO the reply/post is directed TO....totally blank...

#32 - your reply/post to #3 Gene Eric..
Did that person never reply to you? The reply isn’t important here but it’s interesting that he didn’t ALSO question why the “TO” is blank....

I wonder why no one else has questioned it. I don’t have the answer except to say that I still don’t think ANYONE has the ability to access YOUR post to delete any names...

I’m only here now because I have a lot of leg pain that keeps me awake and up and this was bugging me so I decided to try to forget the pain and come to FR.....

I’m sure if you sent your question to Jim or Chris, they’d be able to clear this up for you. I’d like to know the answer also.

At this point I’m sure we’re both being painted as drunks but I can assure anyone so concerned that I don’t even remember the last time I had an “adult beverage” as Rush called them. Might help the pain go away and help with the sleep problem tho’.......

I think I just made it worse by referring to #3 WITHOUT stating that it was Gene Eric who posted that reply where NO RECIPIENT SHOWS...and then you replied to that post on #32.

Maybe someone up as late as this can give us both a clue.....
