'Tis the season for secrets
I'm not sure who will bite, but I bet you'll be more likely to get a bite, and less likely to get bitten if you fish around in Projects rather than MetaTalk.

What was the longest thread about, anyway?
Amazing that in a thread of 1831 comments (especially here) that nobody said "longest thread ever" (which is why it didn't show up on my googlesearch).

psmealey: Thank you. Now the entire thread makes perfect sense. Apparently it's been this way here since the beginning.

Does Falwell belong on the blue?
Wimp.
Um .... How about giving people the benefit of the doubt before acting so childish, at least for those of us who are genuinely interested in this community and discussing these points.

Thanks, modernnomad, for pointing out how the gun-control discussion was split out from the VA Tech news. I didn't think about that.

Stynxno .... not quite. I saw the news go by on the wire and thought about posting to the blue straight away. Then I thought about it and realized, for the point that Malor raised, that it would be a single-link newsfilter.
I posted the question here, and then thought about it some more and then realized that at some point it was going to be posted. It didn't really matter if it was me or someone else ... it was still going to end up a single-link post.... [more]

I'm sorry -- I just don't see it that way. Putting up a one-liner about Falwell dying doesn't put my name into lights. I don't see anyone going about their business later today saying "Phew. Thank goodness that guy on MeFi posted that news about Jerry Falwell being dead."
Whatever the case, I'm certainly sorry that I even broached the subject here.

Just out of curiosity - Were you a BBSer? Did you...
Ah ... the good old days at my ][+. I was the sysop of a hokey BBS called The Lion's Lair (don't ask). It was 1984-1985. I remember that I blew a ton of money for a 10MB hard drive so that I could serve up text files on red and blue boxes, phone phreaking, etc. I can't believe it's been over 20 years. Remember SoftTalk? Beagle Bros. Software? Ascii Express?
Sniff. I'm getting all misty here.... [more]
