This is what happened... (since I now back in front of the computer some 50+ posts away from Rte66 whining post. I have a right to defend myself and explain what happened.)

TexKat pinged "me" to a list that she put together. That list was full of names with typos. She asked me to tell her who she was forgetting off the list.

I copied & pasted Texkat's list into Front Page on my computer and I broke it up unto more detailed subjects. I did this because it would help me figure out who she did leave off the list. I did not care about the typos that TexKat had done and it was not place to correct all her spellings. I decided that I would repost her list of names (with the typos) but broken into detailed subjects.

Once I did this (just a few posts below TexKat's) here came Ms Rte66 huffing and puffing about my list and all the typos in it.

Now why she didn't nail TexKat for the typos and the first list of names is beyond me. No... she chose to nail me for the typos and she was frantic with me about posting the list with the typos in it.

Rte66 comes in and apologizes to TexKat for replying to an email that was directed to her after I pointed out that I was responding to TexKat's list.

I believe this all went down on Saturday night sometime after 9pm central time and you all can go and look it up on the old thread if you like. Or wait for me to find it a relink everyone to it.

Yes Rte66 was ultimately criticizing TexKat but she was doing it through me because it was TexKat's list. I just copy & pasted it and organized it without correcting the spelling errors.
(It is not my place to correct TexKat's or anyone's typos or to criticize anyone for making spelling typos)

Not one word of what you characterized me as doing is true. I wasn't whining, huffing, puffing, frantic, or anything else. That's just wrong and yet another one of your personal attacks on me.

This is a combo post so that I am not accused of taking the thread off topic...

Citizen Reporter... I was the ONE who took Rte66's self centered @nal hit over TexKat's list of misspelled names on it.

TexKat... you rock and you always will rock! - You and I have been on many of these murdered/missing person threads together in the past. You can misspell all you want but you will never be the Queen of Spellings and Grammar errors.

You and I have been together on the Elizabeth Smart Threads, Natalee Holloway Threads, and some others.


Rte66 - as far as me being the last poster of the night on the ANS threads. Guess what I am night owl just like you, sometimes I am up until 5am. I surf the headlines before I go to bed and post what I find. Sorry if it bothers you that I post so late on the thread.

Guess what... I have physical disabilities also just like you but I try not to point them out when I think people are uptight with me. I know I may seem illiterate to you with all my typos... I make excuses for my typos... I'm tired, I'm doing more than one thing at a time and so on, but the truth is I had an accident when I was 13 years old and that is the cause of my disabilities. I am now pushing 41 years old and guess what I have not been able to overcome my disabilities. I don't think I need to explain the full extent of my own disabilities to anyone of FR. I don't want sympathy for anyone. I step away from FR when things are getting crazy most of the time. I don't ask people not to post about things that may bother me. I just avoid those threads. I don't care if the "chat" threads get off topic, if it does bother me I walk away from the thread until it gets back on topic.

I am now off my soapbox... this is the end of me posting about this issue, but I will not continue to take hits from Rte66. I will be looking for Rte66's hits directed towards me and I will respond to them in the future if need be.
