True, I lost a couple pounds, and at a recent social event Ansley and Nicole Preston both failed to recognize me. Unfortunately, I fear that was due more to my being generally un-memorable than to diet and exercise. Originally Posted by foX

I'll share an observation...from the bleacher seats it appears to me a number of good, interesting people are being run off here (or are choosing to leave)...

Well your customer service has been lacking from my standpoint.

I say that with all due civility. Originally Posted by WTF

Great board...Do you think we can find some good Moderators?

Please refrain from being mean to me or I will report you to our esteemed moderators. Bull something or nother and I think the or is sly like a Fox. I am to lazy to look up their handles but rest assured they do not want to bring past squabbles into this hallowed forum.

How about open discussion, espousing divergent views & when someone writes something that is incorrect as a point in fact calling them out on it and holding them accountable? Those are things I very much appreciate. Do you appreciate those things too, John? Originally Posted by atlcomedy
