Thanks, Share - it looks like we are down to about a dozen regular
respondents these days. It only takes a few minutes to read the posts on
FFL - most of the time there's something to read, but for information
junkies, it's just a very small pittance. Some people just feel better
when they have someone to talk to.
Thanks to everyone playing the game!
So, I want to thank you and Buck for making this place more interesting
- it's just awesome to have a few insiders like you two here to let us
know what's going on up there. I am sorry you have to put up with Judy
and Ann - they are real downers, fer sure. It's almost an embarrassment
- reading those posts from the two ankle-biters, except some of us are
very thick-skinned - we survived an Andrew Skolnick attack a few years
ago over on Google Groups!

Richard, I find so many of your posts interesting or fun or
informative or humorous or kind or some combination of these
qualities. I hope you'll keep up the good work. You're my role model
in all this posting business. I'm just grateful that you post as much
as you do.
Happy Boxing Day tomorrow!

RR at 125. Is this a record yet? And what does it mean?
Thanks, Ann, for you short response.
You've got to realize, Ann, that this posting takes practice, just
like if you wanted to get good at playing Angry Birds. It takes years
to learn these skills. You can't keep up with this without dedication.
That means ideally, you need to be alone most of the time with no
husband or children or pets to look after. If you have to work at a
job you'd want to be getting one where you're on a computer most of
the time or at least have a laptop and Wi-Fi available all the time.
At home, you'd want to be sitting at a computer desk with a large
flat-screen so you can have several windows open all at once - one for
the news reader, one for Microsoft Word or EditPad for composing, and
one with a browsers to do research using Google. You need to be online
at least sixteen hours a day except for sleep; if you go out, be sure
to take a laptop with you; or at the least a smartphone; so you can
monitor everything that posted to the discussion group every few minutes.
I've been doing this since 1999, so I can say without the least
hesitation, this isn't part-time endeavor - if you're a really
serious poster - otherwise you'll just be considered a poser or a
troll. It's not for just a casual conversation like on a chat room. It
is a way of life, not a mere hobby.
