i've got a screamin 5 month old here at 9pm on a friday night....

but comin back and seeing all those red strips made me laugh - thanks jack :D

great job btw, and sorry about your basement. have a beer, i am.;)

Thanks Jack, Sorry about the basement, but it could have been several feet of snow instead.

I understand, but I think a reminder to offenders rarely hurts.

I was very pleased at the recent chages in the classifieds as well, there were certainly enough abusers there also.

Hey Milt,

I am going to take this, not as it sounds, but hopefully what it I believe it to be...that is, not anger towards me.

If you look at Bill's post directly before mine and then read my response, you will find just a bit of humor there. :D

No anger, Scott. I saw your smiley. I didn't see a wink, though, so I thought you were serious in a most friendly way.

No matter, Jack jerked it over here anyway. but I was dead serious about my feelings. If it goes purely tech, like the engine building forum, then we all loose. Whatever, I've said this before and I'll say exactly the same thing again. People will go whereever it suits them. There is no hard rule to stay at Pelican. When and if Pelican is a PITA, then the talk will resume elsewhere.

I applaud the efforts of the moderators to keep the ridiculously OT posts off the board. I think Bill might have had a hidden agenda in his comments. Might have been directed at some particular people who have given over to chit chat.

Now I see why me thread got moved.

Squeeky wheel gets the grease eeh??

Not the Mac !?!? :eek:

Your right on Zeke...:)

How about some moderation moderators. Jeez, way too many threads moved.

Hehehe...

This thread has been moved to my domain! WELCOME to the OT Dungeon! Come on in, the water's fine!! Pay no attention to the masked man with the shackles behind you. . .

The sould of this thread now belongs to me... Muhahahaha!!

Yeah, it's Friday, and it's been a long week. What's a dungeon keeper to do? :)
-Z-man.

Jack,

If BBII is in fear of being washed away or flooded, I will extend an open invitation to keeping it at my place! :D

Jack, Is that why your car is at Daves.

You can keep it at my house 2. I have a nice carpeted garage for my race car. Your would fit nicely next to it. I am only about 1 mile from Dave.

I agree Zeke. Its the community feeling that impressed me the most when I first joined this board. I AM impressed by the technical knowledge gathered here, represented by some participants in particular, but the fact that (most) people care about each other is what is BEST about this board. People that has never met before offering to help out in various ways. We had one such example when one board member sadly deceased, and lots of members offered to help. Lets not OT all this away.

Just my opinion.

Thanks for the offer, but it's at Dave's to get some beefed up rear axles. On the way back from the Andial open house I started to get a clicking from a troubled CV joint. They axles were the originals from the 72, it appeared. They'd done their duty and deserved to retire.

My OT update:

New sump pump from Sears took care of the water. Didn't lose too much stuff.

Laptop is on its way to South Carolina to see what can be saved.

With regard to moving the threads, I probably moved more than I should have. Chalk it up to the stress of dealing with the hot water heater about to float away. :(

was it just storm water? no sewage right?

FWIW, You did good!:)

Hmmm..... so it's going to the "Bible Belt" to be 'saved" eh? I hope it's not too preachy when it it gets back. :) (Bet your new homepage will be the 700 Club website. :rolleyes: )
