What do you want a formal apology? Is that it? got a grudge? I thought I would be honest and sincere with everyone who I was. People do and can change. BTW getting tired of reiterating this. ---

Silo, I havent had a problem with you since the name change. That I will admit, and honestly, I never responded to one of your MM threads, though I did notice them. And your right, you are in danger of being a MPSIMS’er …be carefull, I’m being close to being recognized myself… some banned troll had a hard on for mentioning my name for reasons I cant imagine. Hey… ever posted as FlatULance? 🙂 Im sorry if my post sounded more harsh then funny, it was supposed to be more funny. ---

Hey B\_Line, I have seen Silo make some good posts. The ADD Lounge thread is a specific one. [http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=23855](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=23855) And people thought I hate all new people…cruise through the Pit if you are interested in what I am talking about… you have to find it on your own though as I am not reading the thread anymore. ====== 719 here used to be 303 then I moved to 970 then moved to 303 and now 719 again. ---

_techchick68: 719 here used to be 303 then I moved to 970 then moved to 303 and now 719 again._ My parents became 970 some years ago. I went home to visit them right after it happened. One day I decided to call my fiancee from a payphone using my AT&T card. It told me that international phone calls cannot be made with my card. I didn’t realize that Grand Junction, CO and Adelphi, MD were in different countries. 😃 (Obviously, the stupid LD computers didn’t recognize my pay phone’s new area code as being American.) Oh, and I’m 703. ---

YAY 512!!! h\_thur, I heard a Western Swing band called Area Code 512. How appropriate. I think they should have used the code for somewhere further West, like Childress or Amarillo, or best of all Turkey, the home of Bob Wills. Maybe those are **also** 512… Sweet Basil ---

212, hurray! When I moved to the Big Evil City, I was concerned I’d be stuck with a lesser, new code like 646. I suspect that if I get a cell phone, though, it might be 646; 917 isn’t the sure thing it used to be. Too many phone, apparently. ---

> [@](#): > > \*\* > I dont trust you Michael Masterson. Plain and simple. > \*\* I’m in agreement with this statement Michael. If you look in the phone book there is a nifty feature included called an area code map. Most people have mentioned their location at some point. What, are you just bored today? ---
