Did they let you sit in the Ancient control chair?

I was not as prolific on remote boards out of practically and I honestly cant say how much i was here back then. Just that i did exist.  ( it did help i had free-long distance, but still.. ) From what i remember the timing would have bee after i started using the last name to clearly differentiate myself from the other style of music, but its a guess far too much time has passed.

Now that said for remote sites, if you were local i ran the market here for a few years before i vanished. I could make or break your board or party just by a wave of my hand.

I think it's possible I have a slight recollection of the old Ziggy Stardust. Only the name though.

Nah, too much effort.  Was too busy "chasing" female local BBS members to be doing that.

Kneecaps. It's all about breaking kneecaps.

Early days of IRC was even more lucrative. It opened things up to the less techie ( but not total newbs ) At least before the flood gates opened and turned into a mess, with most of us exiting stage left.

6-10 inches of snow coming. whohoo! 

We got about 8, plus drifting. 4 more coming today the say.

Dogs are happy, jeep is happy.  I'm not displeased.    A bit chilly ( -3 night before last i think ), but we get snow, so its a compromise.

"LA Residents plan to sue 'big oil' and place blame of the fires on their negligence in contributing to global warming"

 Oil companies should sue them for slander.

You sure it was really them and not Newsom's money diversion instead?  Even if partially true, that would serve as a diversion to move the money elsewhere " seee, they demanded it , its not our fault! ".   All they had to do is say "no,sorry, its not safe, end of discussion" 

( and know.. getting into paranoia zone here but i put nothing past communist scum like him )

How about they sue the tree huggers who blocked forestry management from maintaining the fire breaks and from clearing the flammable brush?

Lets play a game.  Its called "chase the flying microSD card"   bleh..
