> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Tusculan \* > **minty green** Seeing as how I obviously haven’t searched on my name in at least three months, does it still count as a “vanity” search? (And really, I was just wondering whether I had ever been predicted as the next poster in that other thread.) ---

I see **TEXAS** is in the house tonight…Howdy y’all. 😃 Next poster did ya say **M/G** … Well, hello **Blonde** …So, how 'bout them COWBOYS. 😉 and a big rebel yell to a newcomer in Longview, TX. yee-haaaw! **Racinchiki** I think she’s got a little outlaw in her. You just stand your ground and tell 'em to kiss your Yankee ass. You finally got here and that’s what counts. If that ain’t good enough…sic that **Gunslinger** on 'em. I bet he can their ass tell where to get off. :eek: 🙂 ---

Drat! Chalk me up with those who were wondering how such a drab topic generated so much attention. While I’m certaily not going to read back through this thing to see if he has shown up yet, I think we need to hear more from **if6was9** ---

Oh, and **Gyrate** I was just funnin’…when I asked about **December**. I knew he was just banned. But that doesn,t mean he can’t still read the **Dope**. I figure he’s in **LURKER-HELL** right now. ☹ ---

I was actually doing a vanity search for **Kn\*ckers** and this came up as the sixth thread. I checked it because I was trying to see when she (I think she’s a she 🙂 ) last posted. Everyone laments her absense and I’m beginning to see she had a way with words so I too wish I had met her. Similarly **Aesiron** has dropped out and I was looking to find out why. I thought the thread was going to be about some Iraqi War initiative. I work and go home to play with the kids and don’t make time for much else. I’m behind at work as well as all the news and can only catch some on the drive to/from home. I thought I could catch some insights on current events. Oh well :). I had at least seen that **Cervaise** was caught and I wonder about the other Trek Dopers I commune with including **vivalostwages** , **NoClueBoy** , **Tars Tarkas** , **carnivorousplant** , **tracer** , **Monstre** , and others I’m sorry escape me just now. I wonder if they’ve been caught? [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/accounting-for-discontinued-operations-whats-your-interpretation-of-fas-144/192366.md?page=9)
