Weird...

I have to admit, this labor-intensive summary from Scratch (and the thread itself) has my head spinning.

I don't know what to think about all that.

Yep, scratch, although sometimes you do seem a bit, umm, "obsessed" with DCP in particular ;) you most definitely hit this one right out of the ball park.

I posted and read a LOT for years on Z, yet I missed this one and its significance, somehow, which is why I'm still digesting it all and am still at the point where practically all I can say is.... wow.

I wholeheartedly agree with your assessment. GOOD GOING, Mister Scratch, and THANKS AGAIN for your opening posts!

You stated, on the Murphy thread that:

This will be, I think, a great teaching moment for Mr. Shades.

He needs to hear some of the details. But first he'll need to have a chair and some smelling salts.


In retrospect, would you still hold to this opinion? That Shades was taught something in this thread? Or were other people taught something?


ROTFLMFAO! Best laugh I've had all day, Beastie!

Thanks, Gramps. This thread is the reason I was Q'd and then banned from ZLMB, and then Q'd and subsequently banned from MAD. And all I really did was back Juliann in a corner by refusing to follow her bunny trails.

Fantastic job Mister Scratch...thanx

I not only have read the entire 28 pages I saved them all to a folder on my harddrive. I can't trust that that thread is going to stay up online.

Truly amazing thread.

You can lead a mopologist to knowledge but you can't make them think.

I, too, saved the whole thing to my hard drive. I'm sure Calrobinson will be deleting the entire thing just as soon as Juliann tells her to.

Do you really think she'd do that?

Yeah....why exactly delete 3 year old posts?

And is calmoriah the ZLMB owner (from reading the recent posts there it's like no one is at the wheel administratively).

Don't thank me. I thank you for sticking to your guns and holding her to the fire, whether they banned you or not. My respect to you. No wonder you have no desire to go back there.

I'm just embarrassed. Thank heavens I haven't participated in anything so embarrassing. What it must feel like to know that thread was still sitting in cyber-space, possibly to see the light of day again. Well, now it has.

After all the "Wows" yesterday, today I woke up chuckling. This just cracks me up. I am a little giddy. Talk about the emperor with no clothes. Ouch!

by the way: If for some reason the thread is deleted, I'd be happy to help in reassembling that baby and sticking it to the top of the Celestial Kingdom.
