Are the posted questions getting worse?

    I must be missing something. You have my screen name on the part that I wrote. Or are you asking if I'm The Thread?

    For a brief moment I thought you were The Thread. 🙂

    As you are not, I welcome the Thread. Seldom does a forum become self-aware. 😀

    That screen name's been around for a while. I don't remember its first post. Seems to pop up after mentions of the Terminator movies.

    If we are coming up on the number of the beast & the end times & all that because of the Thread, then the four horseman & the anti-guy must be hanging around here too...

    Well, that anti-guy is easy. That's Steve.

    As to the horsemen, my picks

    Conquest - Gus

    War - Gail

    Famine - Lynn

    Death - Jeff, of course

    So I'm an understudy again? Daggumit, sassi-frassin, frickety-*^%$&^$..." :angry:

    I hadn't noticed that pattern. Wonder if it means anything.

    Well, The Thread showed up today but I haven't heard anything from Bob in a while, so I'm not sure that connection works.

    Not an understudy... you're just too darn nice to make that list. I almost didn't include St. Lynn, but he swings that walking stick mighty fierce when he gets riled.

    I expected to get an email from him when I sent out the PASS Chapter meeting reminder yesterday, but no email yet.

    Guys and Gals, you are freaking me out! I've been out of the office for not even six hours and there are already 38 new notifications in my inbox? Can one really not have a few quiet hours a day? 😛

    So... what you're trying to say is that 38 isn't enough???

    I suppose we could work on that.

    Bah, 38 during the workday is nothing... it's the 100 or so I received last Sat or Sunday that I was really impressed with followed by a day or two of near silence...

    On second thoughts, I think I'm leaving that thread alone...

    Why.....

    I'm wondering how long his audit procedure is - so we could estimate the expected number of posts... :Whistling:

    Gail, Lutz and Grant, I admire you for the amount of patience you seem to have with that guy. Maybe you should all be sainted as well. Have you each pitched up your individual tents in the desert yet?

    No kaboom.

    No boom today. Boom tomorrow. There's always a boom tomorrow.

    Did you know that in French "Avoir une boom" means "having a party"?:-P
