Welcome JAQ. Though it should be pointed out that you are libeling JAQ-offs by labeling them as conspiracy nuts. Many such folk do the JAQ-off thing to advance their agendas in all sorts of politico-socio-pseudoscientific areas while pretending to be seeking knowledge. Iā€™d estimate that no more than 37.7% are actual conspiracy nuts. **I Am Not A Troll** would also be a great handle. ---

Welcome Jack! Nice to have you here! I had a cat named Jack once, gorgeous tuxedo. He liked to hump the other cats. Constantly. He went to another home pretty quick. **ahem** Sorry, that wasnā€™t really on topic was it? Umā€¦ coffee? šŸ˜ƒ ---

You seem like a very sensible person, **Jack**. Welcome back! šŸ™‚ And as for having a thin skin, well, perhaps this board can help with that too. I have a bit of a problem with that, but perhaps these problems can be overcome in time. ---

> [@Cheshire\_Human](#): > > NanoThermite? I never meant to imply that I knew **The Truth** about the WTC, just the truth. While I was watching it live, I was saying ā€œthose fires are going to bring it downā€, but I admit I did not expect the pancaking. I thought the area above the fires would have structural failure, bend or otherwise crumble and fall off, leaving the rest of the buildings more or less standing. I donā€™t have enough experience with large buildings, I guess. And **Fuzzy PickleSniffer** is a great handle! Iā€™m surprised I never noticed it before. ---

Hi JAQ! (I just hi jaqā€™ed the thread. Hurr hurrr) > [@Just\_Asking\_Questions](#): > > I was ā€˜thereā€™ for all the big events (except Jack Dean Tyler-somehow I missed that, but I do get the references to the tug ahoy). I know about posting while under the influence of mushrooms, I know about ā€˜penis ensuingā€™, about 1920s death rays, about not fighting the hypothetical (and about Donā€™t Fight the Hypothetical). I read along with the cesario kerfluffle, I read every ATMB thread arguing with the mods. I know about Rio by Duran Duran, and that Abraham Lincoln liked cheddar cheese with his pie. Yeah, but do you know about alternate uses for ladles and toothpaste? ---
