Yeah, as a hometown (Holmestown?) booster I went over there with my ideas that HH Holmes was Saucy Jack, but it’s unlikely. ☹ ---

I wish I could remember my password. ---

You can reset your password pretty easily. Try to log in, use the wrong pw and you’ll get sent to one of the usual “have you forgotten your password?” pages. ---

I was too clever for my own good. It wasn’t my password as much as my username. Please forgive my forgetfulness lately, but do I know you by another name? ---

None. And that’s how I like it. ---

I apologize for dropping in in the middle of your’s and **tavalla** ’s back-and-forth. I was just giving a straightforward response to the thread title. Please don’t let me interrupt. 😉 ---

Probably not. I’m rothe’che over on the Unaboard. ---

Au contraire! I remember you. I just haven’t spent much time there in recent years. ---

This was posted by @CainKane1 over at the International Skeptics board, almost our sister board from the days when it was the JREF. **Bears are proof positive that Bigfoot doesn’t exist.** If Bigfoot existed these creatures would mooch like bears do in our National Parks. Very few animals in large parks like Yellowstone are afraid of humans so why should they be?" ---

I just wound up joining a Discourse board for a creator, after I just happened to hit a milestone in financially supporting them. I now get lifetime access to a special forum, chat, and Twitter equivalent, as well as links to all the Patreon-only stuff. I’ve been following them for over a decade now, and, on average, paid less than $1 a month. It’ll be interesting to see if I actually wind up posting there. At least it isn’t their subreddit, which got taken over by haters. Reddit has a huge problem with creating echo chambers.
