I have a theory that crazy people don’t know how to make paragraphs. ---

Worried about their neighbors hearing the loud click of the _Enter_ key, I daresay. ---

It’s the Springsteen music, it drives me crazy too. "I get up in the evening, and I ain’t got nothing to say I come home in the morning, I go to bed feeling the same way " May also cause dancing in the dark. ---

It feels like I am my upstairs neighbor’s hobby and main interest in life. You people ran the other guy off. He had valid concerns. Why are people so uncaring and insensitive? Wow. ---

**dawsy** , you have revived a nonsensical thread that was started long ago by parties that have most certainly departed in order to insult a moderator. Do not do this again. This behavior, in fact, does not bode well for your future here, so please mind the rules if you’d like to continue to participate. I’m closing this thread. If you have something you’d like to discuss, start a new thread.
