Just watching people go round and round, over and over again with absolutely no possibility of a consensus.

I haven't participated in a year or so. Does anyone still care whether or not a cyclist stops at a stop sign? [Niagara Falls]

Hey, fw, I see you signed on in 2016. You ain’t seen nuthin’! :)

I admit to being rather embarrassed by that 2007 date you see up there in the corner of my posts — and my ridiculous number of posts.

I found TOTV a few years before we bought. I had been searching for a site that would give me “the word on the street” regarding TV. I wanted info, anecdotal evidence. This is where I found it.

In the old days (says Boomer with a nostalgic, far-away look in her eyes) there was a much smaller number of posters. Tony, who was one of the original owners, kept his eye on the day-to-day operations and saw to it that the place was comfortable and fun. I always thought his career as a newspaper editor was what helped him to have just the right touch. He let us “converse” but he sure could spot a troll or trouble brewing and would “nip it in the bud.” He was “the man behind the curtain.”

I had signed on to TOTV for information, got that, and stayed around for the fun. The site sold in 2011 and is something different now. It is a numbers game mostly but there are a few hidden gems to be found along the way.

There are a few of those “old” posters here still and I have wondered if others are out there reading here once in a while. I have tried to stop looking in, but now and then, I see a post, (like the first one in this thread) and I have to respond (usually with a dissertation) or I see a question I think I can help with. Or I am just avoiding work I should be doing — like I am now.

Most people probably have migrated to Facebook. I am the only person in the world not on Facebook, though some of my friends give me s%#t about that. But I have no need to have thousands of faceless “friends.” I know far too much now about people’s politics, etc. I do not want to know more. I do not need to see a picture of somebody’s dinner, nor do I need to read or pass along some platitudinous, c#@p.

But TOTV still pulls me in. I can see what I want and leave the rest. And maybe help somebody out once in a while. And, though rarely, give somebody a little sass.

Anyway, I guess I am here for a while. I laugh sometimes because I imagine I hear a stage direction like, “Enter, stage right, (insert name here)” because some of us are characters and I know where a thread will go.

Nice to meetcha, fw. And if you are still reading my post — thank you.

Sincerely,
Boomer (who has “stayed too long at the fair.”)

Pleased to meet you Boomer, you sound like fun!

Good luck with that, my attention span isn't that long.

You are quoting Snagglepuss not Betty Boop or Popeye. You can't be that old. :)
