May I, politely, request that the combatants involved in the latest round of flame wars consider observing a truce for 7 days?

The unremitting round of CPR-baiting posts, followed by the obligatory return fire from CPR is getting very old, very quickly. Let's see if we can lower the decibel level and talk about a wider variety of subjects in a more civil manner.

Thank you for your consideration.

Great idea Johnny! Have you been invited to mudwrestle yet?

-- helen (b@t.z), September 13, 2000.

Yeah,I know.....but you never know..........

-- Johnny Canuck (j_canuck@hotmail.com), September 13, 2000.

Helen - I posted at the same time as you. My comment was directed at Paracelsus.

As for the mud-wrestling, someone better issue an invitation soon....the mud will be frozen up here soon.

-- Johnny Canuck (j_canuck@hotmail.com), September 13, 2000.

Johnny, so glad you requested a truce. Their like that damned rabbit that just goes on and on and on and on..............

Sorry but the DMZ is in Korea.

Unconditional surrender from the trolls, spammers and idle neer do wells of Doom ... will be satisfactory.

Man! You drive a hard bargain, cpr.

-- David L (bumpkin@dnet.net), September 13, 2000.

Nice try Johnny, but I'm afraid it's hopeless. Trying to get CPR to give up his delusion of grandeur is like trying to get a cow to quit sitting in its own shit.

or like trying to get Steve Heller to stop posting his resume.

C'mon everyone, post your own analogy.

-- (hmm@hmm.hmm), September 13, 2000.

Who is Steve Heller? When did he post his resume last? Is he a Unix systems admin, by any chance? My company could use one.

-- ABC (a@b.c), September 13, 2000.

I heard cpr had been institutionalized,but had escaped and was on the road in very crazed state,Arkansas or Tennessee, but moving north to escape the Texas heat. We can only hope he will be captured before he does harm to himself or others and returned to the institution from whence he escaped.

or like trying to get people to stop confusing analogies with similes. 8^)

"When did he post his resume last?"

I don't know, but I don't think he does it to find work. Last I saw him post here, he was singing the praises of some high-fallutin site that you can't join unless you score at least 140 on their IQ test. (I am not making this up.) So I'd wouldn't expect that he would consider the capacity of UN*X Systems Admin. as befitting his skill set.

Gawd, I just wish CPR would get off his butt and find a job. C'mon, Y2K has been over for nine frigging MONTHS. He can't keep playing out his delusions indefinitely.... GO BACK TO WORK, CHARLIE!!!!

-- King of Spain (madrid@aol.cum), September 13, 2000.

Y2k is over King of Slop?

What? did I miss it? LOL

Yep it is over, it went straight over your head ya rookie.

How's that JC? Hey point taken, so what shall we yap about?

-- Doc Paulie (fannybubbles@usa.net), September 14, 2000.

KoS, Y2K is over? My dear simple KoS, y2k stands for the year 2000. My calendar says it is the year 2000. What year is it in you little world? What color is the sky in your world? Have you taken your medication today?

-- and you though LL was out of it (kos@in_his.own_world), September 14, 2000.

KOS,

Do you like to mudwrestle?

Funny coming from somebody who recently started more than one thread with the topic "Y2K".

-- Buddy (buddydc@go.com), September 14, 2000.

"My dear simple KoS, y2k stands for the year 2000."

Sorry, but no wonder so many never really understood the problem. Y2K stands for the computer bug, not the year. At least originally.

Cows do not sit in their own shit.

-- I know cows (cow@farm.er), September 14, 2000.

Johnny, I know you mean well, but CPR is to this board what Old Git is to the other. They both keep posting just to make each board look busy. And asking for a truce is like squeezing blood out of a turnip.

-- Aunt Doodah (Aunt Doodah@doodahdayyy.com), September 14, 2000.

CPR needs to follow is own words:

Ditto. Rule one: never argue or discuss anything with irrational or illiterate people.

Y2K is over, and thus the purpose of this forum has ended. Oh, there's some mopping up to do, like exposing the frauds and scams, but there really isn't anything left to talk about. I know, the doomers think there are lots of problems out there. They are just jumping at shadows. If you've heard of a problem then the chances are that the so-called problem has already been dealt with. There's nothing out there Y2K-related that's going to cause any kind of widespread impact.

As for TB2000 having interesting discussions, that's debatable. We'll have to agree to disagree on that one. I don't like the political, sociological, or theological views expressed by most there in those "interesting discussions." Many are semi-literate, and they use 500 words when one sentence will get the point across.

I don't think many heard ya, Johnny.
