Thank you Lisa. That is my entire point!
Doc, are you listening?

Yep, surely! Thanks very much indeed! Have you also read the rest of the thread?

The thread in question, about which your most recent complaint was presumably based, was due to my post on another thread on 07-30-2002, and the former post was on 07-11-2002! How many months is that?

And prior to that, the last post had been on 05-23-2002! How many months is that?

Moreover, I thought you objected to the content of the thread as well, no?

"...we don't need to keep being reminded over and over about it."

Again, in any case, my apologies to all in cluding "gamble0813!"

Just a slightly off-topic reminder:

We'd really appreciate it if instead of bringing back old posts in this forum, if you'd create a new one and just reference the old link. This will save us reading through 4 pages before we realize the content is months old... a time-consuming task.

Thanks all!

I highlighted via BOLD type a part that I'd thought was somewhat important here, just in case you may have missed it, "gamble0813!"


Lisa - Thanks, I understand. Yet, in this case, IMHO, the thread being "revived" herein served to specifically help make my very point - namely that nothing has seemingly happened over all this time. Thus the content is actually not truly "old" at all, is it? I'd thought the content was worthwhile and relevant, and thus was worth reading! Nor did I think, at the time, that still another new "Moderator" thread was really necessary. BTW, the date of the initial post was also a clue that it was not new, no?

As I'd posted in the "revival" post above:

"...Another 6 months has passed, eh?
So what have we all learned here? Anything?"


Moreover, it was a response, as you read above, to the preceeding post, wherein "Goldlust" had specifically urged us all to kindly leave the thread alone for a few months, and then come back to it - which is exactly what I did here!

So again, my apologies.

While I'd thought the discussion was highly relevant for review in a historical context,
nonetheless, I get your point, and I will surely abide by it!

Have a great weekend all!

-Mark
