Click on my name, click on ‘Activity’, click on ‘Download All’: [![Google Photos](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/pw/ABLVV86_qHlS0cgenn5LrvmsM-hBSL2DZPZYHu5d1kJmzFDIYbLA4AZgbgNrpfAeypsOTF7lFLket9MKVIlO2OVI60q1e1Hp-zr-OVCScJwXbeKa8cCNt4U=w600-h315-p-k "New item by John Thornton") ](https://photos.app.goo.gl/Kdx4hGufvzsW7mGC9) You get a message saying the package will be prepared… took a minute or so… then you download a .zip file containing 2 csv’s. I had an easier time opening them in Google Sheets than my phone’s Excel app, fyi. The bigger csv file contains your posts. My first post was a new thread: > [@Has there been a "live" suicide on American TV?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/has-there-been-a-live-suicide-on-american-tv/74132): > > I remember reading about a FL newswoman killing herself during a broadcast in the introduction to Harlan Ellison’s collection “Strange Wine.” He claims that she said something like: “In keeping with Channel 11’s policy of bringing you the latest in blood and death, here is an actual first: a live suicide.” I have never heard any confirmation/denial that such a thing occurred other than the Ellison source and I was thinking that someone amongst the Teeming Millions would be able to either verif… My first reply: > [@Song of the Century](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/song-of-the-century/74125/5): > > By record sales it is “White Christmas” by Bing Crosby, but by number of times sung by the average person it is easily “Happy Birthday.” This is a great resource and, frankly, a relief as I assumed all these were relatively inaccessible. But now I have all 24.9k of my posts going back to 2001 - thanks! ---

Cool (the ability to download stuff - not the on-air suicide)
