He does photograph well in his wife’s lingerie.

What? What are you talking about, sonny! 2005 wasn’t back then! That was virtually yesterday.

Nope, 2000 was where it was at - fast cars, fast women, medium-speed men. It had it all :D.

2000? Hell, no! By then all the fun was in lurking. 1998 was the year. How can you forget?

> That thread depresses me. Everyone talks about how much greater the board was back then. I don’t see it. It’s the same capricious “I’m gonna warn you for something that isn’t in the rules, and I’m just gonna use the jerk rule to claim that I’m right.”

You could choose to look at it the opposite way.

Based on your example, the board is as least as good, if not better, now than it was then. And you’re here _now_.

So that thread should make you happy. Celebrate the now! 🙂
