In Reply to: Why do people leave forums ? posted by cwatbay on November 12, 1999 at 19:32:52:

I have a question or something I think might be usefull to add. But I ride along quite a bit because these folks know what they are talking about and I'm an accidental Ig keeper with plenty to learn. Sometimes, I just stop by and say "Hi".

Do you think this forum gets hot? HAH!! You need to see Venomous when they crank it up mean and dirty! The very worst here is a friendly handshake compared to us Fang Folks. Me, I stays out of it as much as I can.

And that's the point. Ya don't gotta be involved in that crap. Walk in the barroom, and when the brawl starts, climb up on the counter and watch. When it's over, you can roll the uncontious, he,he,he.

Anyhow, stick around or not as you see fit. I think if you leave, you lose.

: Some of you may want to keep this diatribe in mind the next time you notice that new people
