Is it the election closing ? I’m happy to see the Great Debates totally cluttered with threads ! Accusations flying and information overload ! This is the Great Debates I remember before they started charging ! 3 threads on the “october surprise” ?! hehe… Debate: How long can we keep this up ? How many will get banned before moderators go crazy ? After the election will we do it again when the fraud accusations start flying ? Nice to be here… the most intelligent (mostly) debate in the internet ! Love you guys ! ---

Well I for one am looking forward to the post-election fraud era (circa Feb 2005 or so, if we’re lucky). This election/post-election season is making this poster especially cranky. * * * Disturbingly Irritated Member of the Reality-Based Community ---

Indeed. Only three more months until we find out who the next president is… If you’ll excuse me, I have to go eat a bullet. :rolleyes: ---

He asked me who would be the next american president… I told him the vote was in November 2nd… but the lawyers would have a month or two to decide ! ---

It comes and goes here…there are long periods of (relative) calm, and then a series of board squalls when something dusts up…or when some of the old hands have the time to come on the board and spend some serious time. Unfortunately for those of us who aren’t old hands and mostly lurkers (like your’s truely), the big boys on the board on both sides of the isle have real lives. 🙂 -XT ---
