> [@Siam\_Sam](#): > > So how much _does_ it rain on the plain there? Very little, it’s the dry areas: not only do they get little rainfall but rivers are kind of scarce as well (where there is a river in the Meseta there is a valley or canyon, so by definition that bit is not part of the plains). The northern plains grow mostly cereal, the southern ones have more grape but still lots of cereal. I’m afraid rain tends to fall mostly on the northern seaboard and on the mountains along the northern and eastern edges, but that doesn’t rhyme. ---

And then there’s those who loved to bring up the same topic so much a special rule was written to keep them away from the subject. I mean, of course, Evil Captor and DrDeth, who both have been forbidden by the moderators from discussing their hobbies. If I recall, it was public masturbation in both cases. ---

Like RNATB (who I sometimes think is my long lost twin brother with his opinions and interests), I don’t whether to be relieved or disappointed that I have not been mentioned. StrangerOnATrain: Some sort of rocket scientist. Writes in copious detail about space, aerospace and weapon systems related stuff. Always signs off with “Stranger”. Alessan: American born Israeli. Does not like Netanyahu. Very into Literature, movies, TV, comics. From his picture, looks a bit like me, if I was 10 years older and a lot blonder. 😃 Navas: Spanish. An engineer. Has an interesting family. Does not like Catalan nationalists. ---

Well, he’s gone, but FXM always was on about nuclear energy…until his global warming kick. He’d bring up either, randomly, in any thread he was in, even if it had zero to do with the topic. Just sort of work it in somehow. Der with his obsession about evil Americans and ‘brown people’. I guess he just stopped posting after his last time out…he’s still listed as a Guest and not BANNED, so I assume it’s a conscious decision on his part and maybe he’s moved onto another board. ---

No, fell into the category of “you can no longer talk about this”, not “weenie wagging”. (Frankly, I expect _most_, if not all, of the male posters here wag their weenies from time to time, if not more frequently, they just don’t post about it) As noted above, \*\*FXmastermind \*\*was obsessed with radiation and global warming, and \*\*handy \*\*kept giving out medical advice, usually bad medical advice. ---
