Thanks all. I'll be lurking around in the shadows from time to time.

I get an airplane for Fumar to play with and he tosses me out with a dog, and its not even my dog.
:ho:

This is just personal opinion ------ please do not talk to each other - if you have something to say that does not concern the rest of the people that are outside the circle - why not IM, email, or call them - is this a game who ever has the most posts wins :BigApplause:

Now that I've recovered from shock I would like to make a comment about some of the positives that will come from this change....
Hopefully the new owner will make some changes and initiate a new forum about the negative trauma that all the dogs are causing here in TV..As you know this has been the theme of my many posts and I would like to apologize to start off on the right foot......
Also a new rule that states if you post over 5000 hits , you have to state something of value..I may have overstated myself a little and hopefully didn't hurt anyones feelings.........and the term " Boy Howdy" although very endearing is not unusual to someone born in Missouri....although it does bring back a lot of memories of my childhood.....also I would like to apologize for the remarks I made about Chels regarding her mouthwash , which was unkind and I apologize.....So as you can see I have pondered this calamity looking for the bright side for sometime for something to be excited about , Today I think I have found it.............

THEY'LL BE TAKING THEIR DOGS WITH THEM.....:D

GOOD LUCK GUYS ITS BEEN FUN....:posting:

We all have the right to post, or not post, or just lurk, or just...

As long as it remains civil.

If anyone wants to ignore posts by others then they have that right also.

Personally I don't think things need to change. But then again I haven't hit 5000 posts:)

And this is just my personal opinion.(and I am frequently wrong)

The personal reactions, barbs, witty responses, one liners, gotchas and even the disagreements, etc. are particularly interesting and enjoyable to read in this forum. It is a wonderful place to gain information, but many people very much enjoy the wit and wisdom not related to where to buy a golf cart, what the bond is, and where the dog poops.

Again...JUST MY OPINION.....:D

If we were all exactly alike, they would only sell vanilla ice cream.

What a coincidence. This is my personal opinion too (and I am frequently wrong). ;)

Hi Nitehawk,
The supposition that there's some exclusive circle within TOTV has been made before. I'm curious why.

New and veteran posters often banter back and forth among each other. We befriend each other. We tease each other. For some posters, this is not their cup of tea. No problem. Each has his/her own style and the vast majority of posters has something of value, positive or negative, witty or wise, on the mark or funny off the wall to contribute. Some of us can be quite silly at times (Guilty as charged. That's just me).

FWIW, the notion of being "outside the circle" reminds me of a poem by Edwin Markham called, "Outwitted":
He drew a circle that shut me out —
Heretic, rebel, a thing to flout.
But Love and I had the wit to win:
We drew a circle that took him in.

There is nothing wrong with vanilla ice cream provided you put hot fudge on it. But then you could probably put hot fudge on anything and it would suit me.........

nitehawk - Here's a different slant on things: When I was brand new to this forum and would just 'lurk', I'd get a kick out of reading some of the interpersonal comments, verbal jousts, slung barbs, and so on....and I still do. It gave/gives me a bit of insight as to some folks' personalities and how they look at things.

I guess I look at the forum as more than just a place to strictly get/give information. The other communication aspects I find interesting......but that's just me. Kinda gives the forum some 'personality' - gives it other facets than just an information exchange. Granted, some of the interpersonal 'stuff' can get a bit carried away at times - I'm probably a prime 'violator' of that concept! On the whole, though, I think it's a bunch of fun and very informative. But it's probably not a one-size-fits-all thing either - everyone's going to have their own personal perspective. Just thought I'd share mine! :thumbup:

Bill :)

What!!!

I DID NOT EVEN SEE THE SIGN IN THE YARD.

And now I have to leave to go hang out with some people I can actually see. But I simply must, must, must come back later to say a proper goodbye.

Should I write "A Not-So-Brief History of TOTV" ?????? or should I write "TOTV: The Musical" ????

Nope, I promise -- just a proper goodbye.

Don't forget the important sound effects, like your long awaited, but very effective

This sounds so English-majorish -- writing a brief history. We'll see how brief.

I have shown beyond doubt Boomer's English major leanings. And so it goes . . . the cat and English major chase continues.
