Hi--I finnally made it over here!

greenspun.com : LUSENET : The Toilet Paper Chonicles: Gallows Humor from the Y2k Underground : One Thread

Well, so much for the pollies leaving TB2K alone. I signed on for sysop duties when the forum was hacked just before rollover--got so damn mad about it, thought I should put my finger where my delete key is. Seems to me, the forays are getting more numerous--certainly more onerous.

Marianne, you're doing a great job of memorializing the personalities and moods of the Y2K saga. Looks as if it's going to be a never-ending job too! Even though Debunker is defunct, you've been mentioned on Big Fat Idiot. Me too--you're in good company, LOL!

I'll be back!

Old Git,

Welcome aboard!

Truly, this has been--and will continue to be--a piece of work.

Can you imagine what would be happening to this forum right now if it were not password protected?

Yikes!

If you cannot imagine same, just check out THIS thread!

(Out of respect, I shall not hotlink. I'll leave it to those who have the ability to "cut and paste," or the brave nature and wisdom of those who have "signed on" as sysops to this forum (two so far) or to the rest of 'ya.

One way or another: Scary bananas! They "conjured" me! Oh, well, I did my best to defend myself!

P.S., Can we put a link to the TB2000 preparation forum here? If it's O.K. with you, I'm game. Spring's coming, and there's tons of stuff on that forum that might be worthwhile for us to "just have an easy link" to.

Actually, I should mention one other thing, Old Git:

This book needs to be finished before Springtime.

I think most people know where my heart is on this publication (which is to tell the story of the folks who tried their hardest to find out how Y2k might affect their lives and--given the absence of a definitive answer--did whatever they thought was prudent based upon what they were told.

My bias is--as a journalist--toward the government representatives who represent us. What did they tell us? This will be a continuing theme in the book.

'Nuff said for now.

Blessings.

Again, Welcome aboard.

:)

Welcome Old Git, love to read your posts.

FM/MM--- As I said in my e-mail to you, how do you handle that kind of trashing? Maybe I'm just too sensitive, but that would not only set my teeth on edge, it'd probably push the rest of me over the rocky cliff. So sorry you have to endure that kind of trash talk. Just remember, there are more people out there who love what you do.....don't let the wacky flakes get to you. [Hard to do, I know.] Take care and God bless.

Marianne,

You can best put a link in to the Prep Forum under your "About" area.

Diane
