re: A few words...

cjr - just one little modification to your post - there are indeed some who have used this board as a means of introduction and have gone on to 'real' personal interaction. I am aware that many here (and elsewhere in the cyber world) choose only to exist within these boundaries. However, it would be a mistake to assume that everyone does that, and also to believe that the interactions and emotions created here don't have ramifications in people's real lives.

re: A few words...

Jose' is one of the folks other than myself and Craig that does have limited moderation access on the board. Lately, we're averaging nearly 3,000 messages a day across the two boards so I'm sure that you can appreciate that we need all the help we can get. re: A few words... (Sometimes even more!) In this case, Jose' is someone that I've met offline as well as naturally on, and to the best of my knowledge hasn't removed anything that I wouldn't have removed myself.

As I said the other day, what's appropriate and not on this Off-Topic board is a grey area, and if "most of the time, most of the people" agree with what we've chosen to leave up / remove then we're on the right track. If not, just hit that cute little PM icon below my name to let me know.

Rob!

I always wanted to say that the PM button is in fact "cute".

Bravo for all you do in making this site such a fantastic and passionate playground!

re: A few words...

I second the praise for Rob and Craig. Frankly, I'm a little shocked by the number of PMs they're receiving. I've been offended by a few things posted here, but it has never occurred to me to write to the moderators. I just post my own thoughts in the hope of confronting the situation head-on. But, of course, that means having the fortitude to stand behind your OWN thoughts and feelings, which perhaps not everyone here is willing to do.

Again, thank you Rob and Craig for duty 'above and beyond.'

re: a few words...

oh sure, d, try to make people stand up for themselves and coherently present arguments that represent their positons? you migh as well ask them to think, and no one likes to do that, dammit! i for one demand that you re-think your position and immediately begin to parrot a position that has been well documented and stop any and all analysis of said position.

thinking for oneself...indeed!

An alternative, papa, is to think for others - but I'm not much of a fan of religion.

re: a few words...

With all the magic and madness of the last few days, this is a perfect time to plan another "BWW gathering", Barrymores anyone?

Rob, the gin and tonic is on me!

I'll even jump on the Path from Princeton for a drinky-poo.

re: a few words...

Later today I'll create a formal thread on another gathering...in the meantime a few more words about Rob and Craig, the task of building this into what it has become (the TOP site for theater news and opinion, producer of wonderful benefit concerts, tireless supporter of new talent) would daunt twenty people, let alone two, again I say, Well Done lads, Well Done!

Give them some slack when it comes to content control, they let lots slide, I mean you can even say "ass"...I mean my word!

Hi Heather! re: a few words...
Suzanne: I never use catalogs. I'd rather go in the store and see all the salespeople groveling and sucking up to you. Julia: Pardon me, I never knew they were so solicitous at the K-Mart.

re: a few words...

Did you get the honey for those muffins, honey?
#45

re: a few words...

Eddie-

The muffins were missing. But do you know the Muffin Man?

By the way, I really don't need a 1 pound bag of parsley... but thanks

re: a few words...

Craig got parsley?! Dammit Varley, you know dern well that the parsley was intended for the landscaping outside of Sean: The Ride.
#48

re: a few words...

Craig, you are lucky I didn't send the 10 pound bag, I'm up to my ears in parsley!

Just be careful with your coriander!

And I'd like to thank both Rob and Jose for their comments in this thread...

re: a few words...

Dealing parsley! That explains the positive cash flow to make that major purchase today. Great story out of Philly yesterday, by the way. The manager of a McDonald's was arrested for dealing Mary Jane through the drive thru window. "I'll have a McChicken Sandwich, medium fries, a McFlurry and a dime bag, please."
