Very perceptive.

Doesn't seem to be any problem w/communication here.

Idaho Mountain Dude makes an excellent point... So, when you post a message do yourself and all the forum readers a favor and give an idea, the best you can, what it is you are discussing in the post. This will help increase the already very high usefulness and helpfulness of this forum.

Clear and concise thread titles especially important when one searches for a specific topic.

BTW, I especially appreciate it when folks use the words "vent" or "rant" in the title if they choose to post a whiney or accusative note, as I can skip right by those.

I would just like to say that I agree completely with Captain Midnight that we need more posts that are whiney rants venting about all the whiney rants being vented around here. I mean, I really hate that sometimes, you know?!(meaning, I hate rants against rants.)

(Oh, sometimes I crack myself up in between my moments of self-loathing! )

Amen!

Hmmm...I guess I'd better start writing out the word "ventilator" all the time instead of abbreviating it "vent."

Hmm, I wouldn't be too sure of that! My kids always told me I had eyes in back of my head!

Yes, Ma'am. (I had a feeling you could see like that.)

Oh, and I think I saw Carbonman stick out his tongue at me earlier, so watch him close. And, ouch!, someone just hit me in the back of the head with a rubber-band, but I'm not sure exactly who that was . . .

And nobody likes a "snitch"!

I appreciate that, too, so I can be sure to read 'em!!

.... I do love a good juicy rant!

I'll keep an eye out for any of those so I can turn them in.

Hmmm, if RG enjoys 'em, maybe I should go back and read them...

And yet, sadly, bipartisan bathos still reigns ...

Or, especially in politics, as the case may be, depending on one's point.

I saw a basketball game at the old MSG. It was my Celtics against the Knicks. Too bad they had to tear down that building like they did to the old Boston garden. I see that most newbies come here and they are so sleep deprived that coherency is not possible. Someone else advocated cutting them some slack and I do believe that that would encourage them to stay and become part of the community. Part of the fun of coming here is wading through the muck and determining what we can give help on. Heck a lot of the threads turn into mayhem and foolishness, which is part of the family atmosphere that has grown here, and makes this a unique place to be.

LOL!! Nah, keep skipping them. You're smarter than I am!

I should be ashamed to admit this, but when I'm in the mood, I don't mind sitting back and watching feuds unravel. Can be ridiculously entertaining. Heck, I watch most of the "Real Housewives" shows.

Now, I really AM ashamed!
