Aha, Richard, you tried once before to convert me to this archives system. I like reading posts as emails and if that strategy goes awry, I head over to the website. But thanks, glad to know about the archives.

Will report later (-: > Actually it was Xeno who said he made the filters and the folders - he is really taking this seriously, I guess. Apparently he put Ann in the "Canada" folder and my stuff in the "Texas" folder - you are probably in his "Iowa" folder. At first I felt a little insulted because that seemed to be kind of a prejudiced way of carrying on an open discussion, since all the messages would be read out of context. Doesn't matter now anyway, because I don't have much to say these days. The question is, why would someone try to manage all these messages at their place of employ when they can use the FFL Mail Archive and set a filter to read sequentially all the messages from an individual, right from the comfort of their home?

He probably hates me now for exposing his deep cognitive dissonance, but he did ask for feedback and invited us to read his Rama web site. > !

Well said, Sal. My bet is that if there were ever a "FFL Reunion," in which we all got together physically to chat over a few beers, most people would manage to let bygones be bygones and get along. Heck, I'd even buy Judy a drink...not that she'd drink it, of course. :-) But Richard? My bet is that after a few minutes people would notice he was missing from the festivities. A few people would wonder where he went, but not many, and only for a second or two. After the event they'd find him out back in the alley, having been beaten into a bloody pulp by the people he's stalked and abused for so many years.

You seem like a really nice person to me so I don't understand his behavior at all. But I'm very glad you're still here. I think it's more relevant to try and explain Willytex's behaviour and why he's irritating enough to drive people to distraction. Just try simply not having an opinion the same as his and you'll get endless tedious trolling, and I mean endless. I can't believe you haven't noticed it. If it wasn't for the ability to scan posts without opening them there wouldn't be anyone here because he's like a little dog snapping at your heels. On and on and on. I suspect that's his plan, a sort of attempt at denial of service. If you ever do try and engage him on his opinions all you get is some well practised non-committal slogans and a few irrelevant links to wikipedia that he either doesn't understand himself or can't be bothered to think about it. After two post he goes straight back to abuse. Years and years and years he's been doing it, what he gets out of logging on here everyday is anyone's guess. He says he's proud of his internet legacy, but why take part in a discussion board if you aren't going to discuss anything? I think he just likes spreading shit around. This is why nobody bothers talking to him. Go figure. Same with Steve, he replied to a post of mine yesterday saying that it looked boring and he wasn't going to read it! What the fuck? Tell me Share, is there a point to it that you can see? I'm at a loss. If I see something that doesn't interest me I just skip to the next one, why make a point about it. Every time. Every day. Barry, on the other hand brings a lot to the place and isn't just a one trick pony with nothing to say. You may not agree with what he says but it is a discussion board and not a facebook page, we all have the choice to respond and alternatives with how we spend out time if we'd rather not. It actually fascinates me that we all come back day after day. Ugh, the rain has begun. Supposedly will turn to ice overnight. So glad I've got brand new tires. From: "'Richard J.

The tables are turned now, his turn to cry. The guy has been a shit-heel as long as I've been around the internet - that's his game.
