Ditto! WTF is going on!

[joesbucks]

I can't believe you've ever had a post pulled. That to me is amazing.

[Irish_Thatcherite]

C'mon. Mad Ivan Stayed. So can you.

Ditto!

I had no idea what you were talking about. But instead of putting a pancake on my head, I looked up your posts.

You really need to do something about the size of those hummers. That animated gif was 750 K bytes! Yikes. That's a 3-minute [insert Jeopardy jingle here] download for somebody on a dial-up line. And that was right next to another 208K monster.

Go buy Photoshop Elements or something and learn how to squash the file sizes.

That "Fort Marcy" thing you've posted a couple of times is a 90K file. That's 21 seconds on a dial-up. Here's mine:

I took yours and shrunk it to 10K... a 2-second download. Have some mercy on the dial-up folks.

I think he's been busy lately trying to get his FR homepage visitor counter to turn over the 100,000 mark all by himself.

I loved your pictures. I wish you would reconsider and stay. Please.

Regards too you,

Lion. : ^ {

Dude ,Don't Leave, Your Iraq Coverage was the Best Ever, as well as so many other events.

Duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuude?!

I'll miss your posts.

What the heck is going on?
Some of my best bookmarks are Diogenesis threads....

Givin up....hmmmm? FR is NOT about "giving up"....

One may leave for a while w/o posting....but posting an epitaph.....can be...well..a bit unseemly and most likely untimely.

Those of "us" that have been disciplined....and I bet most that have skirted the edge....are proud long-term members of the fraternity. The edge is the place to be.....

These forums appreciate it when we resize our pictures to the minimum size possible (while still being recognizable). 200 pixels tall is the rule of thumb, though pictures that contain text often require a larger scale to maintain readability. The formulas and how-tos are on this thread.

I hope you check that out and reconsider your departure.

Take care Dio - you've done more good than you'll ever know here. It's a shame. Hate to see you go, but wonder how far I am behind you. Not far, I imagine.

Sadly, we parted company long ago from the MSNBC BBS. I'm sure this isn't a serious situation with admin, here. Lay low and come back when the smoke clears.

Gotta Stay Here.

He called them boobs?

[Dog Gone]

Anyone who ever saw more than one Terri thread knew that spamming was your forte. Sorry to see you go, but if you can't take valid criticism, then you need a softer, gentler forum.

All of us who have been here a while have a few "ahems" , "TSKs" and blocked posts under our belts. HEH HEH Been a long time for me, but ya never know.
