I’ve never posted on the Ms message boards. I’ve read it a couple of times, but I don’t believe that I’m even registered. I know I’ve never posted there.

As for me being a lesbian…my husband would disagree. Actually, I’m one of those rare people who are at the ends of the sexuality scale, I am not at all sexually attracted to women, only men. My gynecologist would disagree that I’m a transexual, as he removed my ovaries and uterus a couple of years ago. Mtf transexuals just don’t HAVE those sorts of things.

I do not feel that posting on the Ms message boards, being a lesbian, and/or being a transexual are things to be ashamed of. It’s just that they don’t happen to be true about me.

And yes, I **am** a Texan. I was born here, my parents moved away when I was just starting adolescence, I moved back to Texas to finish high school here, and when my husband retired from the Air Force, we moved back to Texas AGAIN. So yeah, I’m a Texan. Even if I don’t like football, I’m a Texan. You wanna make something of it? 😃

As for the percentage of posts in the Pit: I check for content as well as just numbers. If it seems to me that someone has just wandered into the SDMB to primarily slam its posters or staff, then they can go bitch about us somewhere else.

Some people will NOT be happy with my decisions. There is no way I can make EVERYONE happy, so I try to do the best I can. So far, my bosses have been mostly pleased with me.

You _do_ realize that the thread in question _was_ in the BBQ Pit, don’t you? Or did you mean something else by “venue”?

You _do_ realize that my thread _was_ in **MPSIMS** when it was started, don’t you?

It was still there when this post was made:

It was moved to the BBQ Pit _after_ that. Perhaps that is what Mr. Ekers is referring to.

Ah, soooo desu ne…

Yes, Mr. Ekers’ comment makes much more sense in that light. Thank you.

Which is why I said I don’t think that you and the other Lynn are the same person.

I think the person who said what they did here saw the same first name, and either got confused by it or made a stupid assumption.

Believe me, you don’t remind me _at all_ of that Lynn.

hmmmmm…

One half-flatlander here, having overthere also some hills which makes it less flat then the Dutch often below sea levell flat… Nevertheless feeling some vague language bond connection…

**Coldfire** being the name of a (once) notorious hacker…

I think it says enough…

if not everything…

Keep your IP changing by the minute people… And never use your very own to begin with, or he reads you before you write…🙂  
For the rest, I wish you a lot of fun in this weird thread…  
The longer I spend some hours of my time on this message board, the stranger it becomes. Or maybe I become more a stranger… I always get confused about such details. (It is of course a confort to know that only God knows what is in my heart and mind).

I never said I did… I’m always completely confused, competely harmless and completely innocent, which is a heavenly state of being in…

But do you mean that you are like the Christian Jesus=God, both man and God? The man-part not knowing… the other part God and knowing that I’m a completely harmles and innocent blinding shining personality that makes women faint and men run purple of jealousy (I don’t know why they do…)

Can you be so kind to give notice of this to the rest of this strange yet pleasent website? Thank you.

Are you absolutely sure 1000% that the Jesus/God appearence is not me?

Salaam. A

I don’t see anything here that is so important that it justifies bumping this thread to say it.

Haven’t you anything better to do, **Aldebaran**?

L.Astar,

It can be fun to read a thread on this particular board while waiting when the server of this website gets slow.

In particular because it gives you some insight in the personality or goals of members for whom this board seems to be some surrogate-home, considering the time and effort they spend on creating threads about others.

Salaam. A.

MMMMMMMM

Tomd, I discover now that Dyslex missed a letter (T) in the first word of your post… (which is no shocking surprize to me, but possibly it is to you).  
So most probably you will be so kind to cut the question about you being the Jesus/God re-appearance… (If you aren’t that incarnation of course.)

Of course you may still give notice to the rest of the SDMB population of all the secrets about myself I told you about here above.

I thought this thread was dead.

It should be dead.

What point was there in resurrecting it in order to make some lame comment about a British hacker?

No, wait. Don’t answer. Just let this damn thread die and sink.
