Ike, Don’t blame the Dog for crashing the system when you know it was the foul language you used over there at MPSIMS. You have called down the heathen language gods and they have smote our once peaceful message board. ---

Yeah, for you, maybe. But _I_ follow Mister Roosevelt’s Reformed Spelling. I aim to be up to the minute. ---

Let’s storm GQ! We can post questions like ‘What’s your favorite color?’ and ‘What did you have for lunch?’. They’re general and they’re questions. I think it fits. 😃 ---

Perhaps it would help if the techies pruned a few (hundred) of the comatose threads out of MPSIMS? Frankly, if a thread hasn’t been posted to this year, I’d think that we could do without it altogether. * * * “I don’t just want you to feel envy. I want you to suffer, I want you to bleed, I want you to die a little bit each day. And I want you to thank me for it.” – What “Let’s just be friends” _really_ means ---

It’s midday, Friday, and the board is ominously slowing down again—no doubt headed for a late-lunchtime crash into some farmer’s alfalfa field. This is becoming a daily thing now, and REALLY has to be looked into by someone; a Web site should not crash and burn on a daily basis.
