Well said.
I thought I was bulletproof, I guess. I soon found otherwise.

And speaking of the career... I've gotta quit goofing off now. ;)

Take care, my FRiend...

Nah, I'm not a brown-noser: I behave much WORSE than that. But the honest truth is that I really like them.

First of all, they're consistently witty. The source for this post is "Admin Lecture Series." Hee hee.

Second, we'd all last about 15 seconds by ourselves without them. Law and order benefits everyone. (I'm not one of the libertarians around here, you can see.)

Third, and perhaps most importantly, they've saved my butt twice this month when I made an error posting a thread, doing a fix beyond the call of duty, for Freeper's Finest.

This is tabloid journalism

But what if the poster likes tabloid journalism? What if life ia a Soap Opera? Aren't you repressing Freedom Of Screech to not let their true colors shine thru and have it be posted in Breaking News? I mean, it might be breaking news to someone who doesn't have a life, right?

On the night Jeb Bush issued an Executive Order to rescue Terri Schiavo, I posted the EO in breaking news just as the EO became available in the media.

Sorry, honey. Bill Clinton's been out of office for years.
Just leave your resumé by the door.
Thanks for stopping by...

Funny thing is with all of the bitching etc..about these topics...they generate the highest thread counts on FR. Methinks people want to talk about the stories.

LOL.....you mean that in the best possible way of course ....:o)

I used the KLR650 in the service and the large fuel tank and the ability to carry a load over extream ranges (both mileage and terrain) was our choice then and mine now for a japanese crotch rocket. I haven't camoflaged mine ............yet. Ever play on one of the Rokon's ? That is my next toy for cruising the back trails. You'd like that one too. Very heavy duty and would be perfect for your region.

Stay Safe Slim !!!

There are way too many non-breaking news stories being placed in breaking news. It's gotten so bad, this is in breaking news. Please, if the story has been posted once in breaking news, it doesn't belong there again unless it's a critical update. Also, don't abuse topics. A story does not need to be posted in every single topic. It does not generate more hits to your thread.



Greenspan's story just hit the wire...it is breaking news and I did not see it posted before. Perhaps you are the one who needs to understand what is breaking news. "It's the economy, stupid" was a point well made during an election 10 years ago. Now if you want to treat your members like adults and send your costic comments "back channel", I will be interested in posting again. However, if you continue this attitude, you will not see my postings.

There's a guy on N-14 in Cedar Crest (the old auto parts store just south of the BellaVista) who sells rokons. He's a big dual sport fan.

>>This is tabloid journalism, we are a conservative forum.

BRAVO.

Now, how 'bout a step further and have a temporary freeze on all LaciKobeJacko story posts.

If you want to know about these "stories" just watch Fox.
That's all they seem to care about anyway.

Um...I don't know if you intended this as some sort of deterrent, but to a person who is complaining about too many postings (in the wrong area), it probably WON'T be seen as a bad thing...maybe you should threaten to post LOTS.
