Well Tim, that explains it. Got any "Newfi" jokes?
Jerrydread, on the other hand, lives in the garbage state, which could be good if I wanted the where-a-bouts of Jimmy Hoffa. (Insides jokes as it is the 'Garden State' while also accepting NY city trash to its landfills.)
I wish I could draft one paragraph about myself and have people do a "wow. Now I understand" But how can a lifetime of experiences make it across? The reason for the request of a valid (but hidden unless responded to by) email address is cause some things should be private. But when those efforts are undelivered or deleted without reading, well, it kind of makes one ask why even bother.
Having a phony email addr is much like borrowing money and making a hollow promise to repay it.
I am confident (won't say the acceptable language of "I know" because I don't know for certain) that posts are read by someone who I wouldn't expect to be reading.
Or is it coincidence? I post "knowledge is power" and two days later, someone uses that phrase on their board.
I will tell something I have kept inside for 15 months. I went visiting someplace else and read that medical supplies were needed. From the top of the text to the last line, my screen was completely filled with the posting. I swear. I tried to post that I had some stuff and would like to know where to bring the items. Instead of the posting getting approved, I got a rather nasty email that included "what part of deliver to xxx" don't you understand.
Turns out the 'deliver to' was in the subject line but not in the text. I repeat, the full screen display did not show the subject line, but I infered the "go away" so I stayed away and came here.
As one of the two boards I visit, I like to keep abreast of happenings in Negril but only go to the newspaper sites when prompted to, hence the disappointment when people aren't even willing to share news or views. Maybe this paragraph would be part of my bio.
Kylake, I hear you. My not being one of thousands of perminently stored comments on some sites does keep me from typing. Especially if existing comments are offtopic or just plain nuts.
