whynotnow7: they are also on my publicly don't read/privately eat-it-up-with-a-spoon list... So, I wouldn't be surprised if Turq reads every single post here, and maybe even keeps messages on his hard drive, to read again later. He once was so desperate to talk to someone he carried on a dialog with Andrew A. Skolnick for three weeks. That's fun, fer sure! LoL! Some people just feel better when they have someone to talk to. Go figure. Maybe I just don't get it. Why would a guy like Turq want to move to a walk-up tenement in the winter up in Amsterdam? His work space must be the seat of his chair and his desktop about the same dimensions as the surface of his laptop computer. And for what - bragging rights on an internet news forum? Maybe it's just me, but I love the weather in the Southwest U.S. - it's going to be 68 degrees here today with lots of sunshine. http://www.google.com/search?hl=ensource=hpq=weather+san+antonioaq=1\ aqi=g10j1aql=oq=weather My workspace is measured in the miles, not inches. My den is probably larger than Turq's entire apartment. I wouldn't be caught dead living in a house that didn't have a double garage with automatic openers. I've even got plumbing and central air and heat! http://www.rwilliams.us/working/ http://www.google.com/search?hl=ensource=hpq=weather+san+antonioaq=1\ aqi=g10j1aql=oq=weather

What's particularly hilarious (or pathetic, depending on your point of view) is that he finally manages to come up with one limp swipe, and when it crashes and burns, instead of giving up and trying something else, he keeps on in the same vein twice more, and those attempts crash and burn even more spectacularly. It's amazing to me that he's so oblivious to his own transparency. --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, whynotnow7 whynotnow7@... wrote: As you continue to talk to yourself Barry, I can't help but think how difficult it is for you to attempt a post these days.

Yep, that's why I wrote what I did. I was struck by how out of touch he appears, because of his publicly proclaimed self-imposed exile from so many people's posts on here.
