    I lurk on this forum frequently, trying to find a interesting topic to participate in the discussion. Alas There has not been much in the way of interest lately.

    Now, what does that say about your belief in yourself and your ability to be the lone voice in the wilderness? As mom would say "Buck up!"

    It says I better watch my mouth if I don't wanna be banned. In my short tenure here I have already been suspended twice.
    I supposedly broke the rules, but I said nothing I would'nt say sitting across the table from someone. I suppose I will take the forum equivalent of an Alford Plea.

    Doesn’t it kind of depend on whose table one is sitting at and who is sitting on the other side?

    There are currently , on every forum I've checked, twenty or more robots every day, up to 200 robots at a time, recording everything, line upon line, dot upon dot, for several different companies and countries. (Including China and Korea and Russia)

    Well Jeff I'm more worried about the toons in my own country right now. You know those bots that want to start a nuclear war with at least one nation if not all.
    I am too opinionated and nosey to just lurk. I have to set them straight ya know, sadly I'm only half kidding.:(

    Yes, Lon, 'rest in peace',

    that's one reason 7 year old threads are good for sometimes to bring up again.

    Not to be worries at all, nor fearful,

    but yes, some of those closest to you/to us/ are the ones seeking and able to be the most disastrous/harmful.

    Better the wounds of a friend than the blessing or good wishes or planned-emics of an enemy seeking to destroy us.

    And gossipers who take stories from one forum to another but it happens in real life as well, only difference they hide behind keyboards on forums.

    I lurk but I don't drag gossip back and forth. I know someone that tells people on one forum that we're on another forum when we're not. Likely to make themselves seem important.
