If this is true they how am I reading this post???

Rob, That link on GN's site brings up Philip Greenspan's midnight message. It seems that GN drew an inference that is not based on anything we haven't heard and may turn out to have been hasty.

Sorry, that's "Greenspun." The TB2000 problems must be getting to me.

I emailed Gary this morning to explain the situation ...

Folks: Obviously this is what Scary Gary posted this a.m. and he doesn't know the latest (yet) - that we have 'moved'. I started this thread just so that people here who may not have visited his site would know what he put up. Sorry if it caused any confusion, which there already is plenty of.

Here is another forum from the spin-off. Lot of the same people as before http://18.24.3.72/bboard/q-and-a.tcl?topic=HumptyDumptyY2K

Thanks Ed!

Hey Arewyn, we made it! Looks like we fell off the wagon!

-- margie mason (mar3mike@aol.com), December 29, 1999.

OOps! sorry. wrong thread.

-- margie mason (mar3mike@aol.com), December 29, 1999.

Ed: Thanks for the update. Perhaps he will pull the link or post an update. A lot of the confusion now stems from having multiple places to go. Do you think it would be helpful if you were to start a thread on where it is you feel we should be going to?

-- Rob Michaels (sonofdust@here.now), December 29, 1999.

I have already replaced the URL in my preferences as starting page with this forum. So when I start up Netscape, I'm "home". Cuts down on the confusion for me ;-)

Gary North jumping to conclusions.....aw....nah.....really.....that's not like Gary....hahahahahahahahahahahhahaha......

Anyway, at least this time, it is hard to blame him........

The blame is squarely on that idiotic message that said something like "robots killed us....goodbye.....buy me a new Server and I'll bring my baseball back so you can finish the game...."

In retrospect it looks more like a momentary tantrum.......

Anyway, we're back for interesting and stimulating exchange of messages.........

That's good, because I will not rest easily until I know exactly how far Andy can shoot that dang hamster after a couple of bowls of spicy chili and a sixpack........
