Old message board, years ago. I used to post there, then got busy & didn’t go back for at least a year. It had closed down. I did google some results that referenced some big hoo-haw/problem but not what about. Always wondered. Anyway, if anyone here can clue me in I’d like to lay that question to rest. thx ---

I went, and it’s not, which, to me, implies that he’s trying to drive traffic there, just like mine. Whatever. Joe ---

Because all of the references I saw on Google, when actually inspected closely, turned out to refer to something from 2004 or earlier. I was not able to actually find a living, breathing forum site anywhere. (There is a radio show with a similar name, apparently, but I don’t _think_ that is the same thing. Correct me if I’m wrong.) ---

All right, I’ll eat crow on this. I thought the radio show website was the forum. I’ll just go sit in the corner. Joe
