Don't be too hard on Penguin, I'm trying to get an "Idiots Guide to Managing a Forum" published.
Craig
oh my,
This is a job for longhorn, he knows about barns.
excerpt from: The Complete and Utter Idiot's Guide to Ordering Pizza
You know, I'm gonna play a hunch here. Open your front door. Front door. The door in the front. It leads to outside.
There ya go. Look down. See that pile of large, yellowish books sitting there? Those are phone books. Pick one up
and bring it inside.
Now, open the.. why is the front door wide open? Were you born in a barn? Close the door! Now, find a pizza delivery
service in the phone book.
You've got that lost look on your face again.
Open the book and flip to the P's. Why are you giggling? Open the book. Go on. Find the P's. Stop giggling. No, those
are the M's. Close, but definitely wrong. Keep going. N. O. P. Stop! Stop right there!
Okay, now find Pizza. A listing, not an actual pizza. You're not going to find actual pizza stuffed between the pages
of the phone book. Stop right there! You found it! Pizza! What's the phone number? Don't lose it! Find the phone!
Find the phone! Where'd you leave it? Didn't you mark the spot, I told you to mark the spot, what'd you mark the spot with?
george.
Craig,
You simply must control that
Temper, maybe a course in cat herding would help for the forum management.

Sounds like they need a Complete Idiot's Guide to Complete Idiocy. On second thought, that would kill the concept and the cash cow.
No, it wouldn't. It would be the absolute best seller yet because of the human tendency to point the finger at everybody else and to say that it's them and not me. Jim Carey and Robin Williams could collaborate on writing the foreword. That alone would make it worth the price of the book ;D
Yeah but when they pointed their finger , four fingers would be pointing back to themselves ;D
I agree it would be a best seller
When you open the book, on the first page would be a metallic shiny mirror....just so they would know who the book was written for.

Hey Longhorn,
I sincerely enjoy your comments, they make Our day(freckle girl & Samson), however I
think you have been spending, too much time with Bessie the Cow, Shannon the Sheep,
that Buzzard, Greta the Goat and Rodney the Rooster too long, ;D, only kidding with you.
Also, send me some of Bessie's Non Homogenized, Non Pasteurized Raw Milk to me, it's got
plenty of enzymes and it's good for my health. ;)
