I am going to hit 10,000 posts very soon. Should I
leave it at 9999 and request permission to rejoin as
EvenBob1, leave it at 10,000, and do the same thing,
or just keep going.

I've found here and on other forums people frequently
use it as a weapon against me. Why don't you get a life,
why do you post in every thread (which is a joke, I
block 97% of the threads on this site, check it out), why
don't you shut up.

So you decide, I'll go with the majority, but at least 25
people have to vote in the poll.

A weapon? Yeah, I see that with you. Who cares?

Those that like you don’t give a rip; those that don’t will always find something to attack.

I'm expecting something very profound and inspirational for post number 10,000.

By the way, management frowns on multiple accounts, even if done for the reason you stated. Perhaps we set a bad precedent by letting Buzz get away with it.

I don't care what you
do after post 10,000,
but I do think your
10000th post should be
an apology for your election
trolling and subsequent
disappearance and reappearance
without mention of any it.

Unless I missed your apology,
then gladly forward me a link.

If I did it would likely not have worked. Mostly what I have 'used against you' is the fact that you never apologized to all who you defamed in the lead up to the election..... And that you went into self imposed hiding rather than man up and take your lumps...
And that on this gambling forum you are never willing to put your money where your mouth is....

The total number of posts is the least important fact about you..... Keep on posting!!!!!

they must not get out much.

Obama are the ones who need to apologize.

Didn't mean to get away with it. I have tried to log onto other ID to get info from PM's. But I never get my forgotten password. Probably it's sent to an email address I no longer remember. Feel free to delete buzzpaff or this one. Just so I have one to post, that's
all I ask.

Gee, I get into trouble without trying to. Even take a few day suspension if need be, so nobody in future can cop out, saying you let that old goof Buzz get away with it.

Just so it's not a terminal suspension. Like the guy who was sentenced in 140 years by the judge and the prisoner said he wouldn't live that long.

The judge said " Just do the best you can ! "

Get a life. 10,000 posts means you don't have a life.

And it doesn't change the fact that you are still a curmudgeonly old fart who doesn't have the courage to accept his worthless opinions were full of shit. Go away and hide again. Somebody call the Waaahmbulance cos Evenbob's candidate lost and he can't take it and he runs away and hides.

Just keep going, same as a roulette ball 10,000 is as meaningless as any other number. If we were using a base-8 system you would have hit the number some time ago.

Do keep going as I can't be the only defender of the right on here. Well, we have had a few more as of late but we need all the people who use logic and not emotion as we can get.

Where's the "whatever" option?

It's just a number, nothing more. Each bit of input stands for itself. The sum of them all... Well, the difference between 10000 of them and 9999 of them is statistically insignificant, I'd say. And the difference in sum value of content is the same. Some are worth more than others.

It totals decent value for me. But the fact that there are 10000 units of that value... Not so much a big deal.

Once Wiz posted the Statler and Waldorf rule, it kind of clicked. He doesn't follow Statler and Waldorf, he is Statler and Waldorf*. He jives, he pokes, and he gives his opinion without decoration. If you're on the defensive, you might be offended. If not, you'll probably enjoy his company.

Try it. After an EB barb, just add an "Oh HoHo!" on the end of it. Totally S&W =D

*For the most part, anyway ;)

In any case, I do enjoy his company, and despite his absence post 11/2, I'm glad he's back.

Bob, I wasn't around for most of your posts and for that I am grateful to whoever it is that is up there controlling things...:) But I will say this in all sincerity...you seem to be enjoying yourself and are hurting nobody, and even occasionally post something useful...:)

So here's to ANOTHER 10,000 posts, my friend.

A similar thing happened to me and neither one of us got away with anything. I didn't forget my password, I was just unable to log in one day. I went through all the proper procedures, got no response and finally, reluctantly had to rejoin under a new name. It's not like we tried to post under different names as others have. That would be getting away with something.

Yeah, all Edison had to do was find someone else's way that did work (or so the Tesla lovers out there will tell you... the line is that Edison was a excellent, but ruthless business man, rather than a genius inventor).

Edison was a cut throat businessman first and an
inventor second. Tesla worked for Edison for years.
Edison had a 5th grade education, could barely read,
rarely bathed, and had no scruples about anything.
All according to Tesla. Edison's claim to fame was
buying a patent and improving on it. He did that
with the light bulb.

That is how DOS 1.0 was made. Some hobbyist thought he was making out like a bandit when Gates paid him five figures for his creation. Credit often goes to someone other than who first made it. Olds was using an assembly line before Henry Ford used one, and who remembers VisiCalc?

Cloves, like the weird smokes, might be palatable.

Cloves, like garlic, sounds like some new, 8th level of hell.



Are you guys insane? Cloves aren't garlic, they're the sweet

out of. It was the most valuable spice in the world at one
time, they fought wars over it.
