Apologies, that was the thread where he talks about trolling. [Here is a thread where the mod of another forum pops in to tell us about etv’s trolling of their boards.](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=579970) It was posted in the pit and starts at post #96.

How does one get suspended for “abusing” an e-mail account? What the hell did you do, some Nigerian scam?

All right, let’s get this topic back on track. If anyone has any problems with the OP or past happenings, take it to the Pit.
Let’s end the hijacks now.

I’m 31 and almost done with my AA. I’ll bring up the hurdle that seems to be the most difficult to overcome as an adult student: money. How are you paying your tuition? Do you qualify for any financial aid?

My apologies.
My first question stands though - what will you do differently this year, to make sure your plans to graduate in 6/13 succeed? [In this thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=14142085&postcount=40) from 2011, you expected to have graduated by May 2012.
