It sure seemed like it to me.

I have been on both boards for about the same length of time that I have been officiating. The things that go on there is no different than they always have been.

For you information I have a home computer/labtop and I log on both several times a day when I have some time. I do not think I have anything to do with what goes on there or here for that matter. Kind of hard when you post on probably less than 10% of all post made.

But then again if people would treat the boards for what they are really worth, there might not be any conflict at all. The word "discussion" does not mean "agreement." ;)

Peace

Interesting. I find it to be the other way around. I have never posted on the other board, but I sometimes find it hard to follow the thread. Maybe I am just older than Padgett, Mick, and JR.

Does it only work when you're sitting on top of the laboratory? :)

I wish it did, but I need to get a new battery. The one I have now is "drained." :)

Peace

Mark, from time to time, posts appear on the McGriff board that have a very familiar humor to them. Some think that you sometimes post under such a moniker as BobMyKnob. Do you? :)

I took a look at the McGriff board and read a lot of his posts. While I will admit I thought some of them were pretty funny, and some of them even were similar to my "style of humor", I found a lot of them to be mean-spirited (unless he is better at sarcasm than I think he is) and there is some merit in some (notice I said <i>some</i>) of the responses from others, although many of the responses were much more juvenile than his posts.

Besides, why would I post under a different name? I'm proud of my humor, although my wife tells the rest of the family not to encourage me.

BTW - giving credit where credit is due - his post about Jennifer's marriage was one of the funniest I've ever read anywhere.

Yes, Mark, that was funny! :)

It's also nice to know there are people on these boards who have a sense of humor and realize when someone is posting something just to try to be funny and doesn't mean it as an attack. I think the world would be a better place if we would all just lighten up a little.

OK - enough phoney crap for one day.
