What's the big deal about the word "beach"?

The "beaches" in Greece are beautiful by the way.

I'm sorry to see Wade go. I don't agree with him very often, but I think his heart is in the right place most of the time (I have my moments, too). I've often said that we need to be kinder to each other here, but I don't expect things to change.

Thanks for the announcement, Wade.

See you tomorrow.

Exactly. This site is like crack to him. Plus he might be using it in his chicken chasing activities.

Thanks, -Wade Englund-


I like Wade and will be sorry to see him leave for a while. His overall point that an unregulated (and over-regulated) board will eventually cause it to lose both posters and a diversity of posters is a good one.

I always look toward Beliefnet as an example of the right balance. They encourage free speech but will not tolerate obscenity or abuse of other posters. Consequently, they are the largest religious internet site in the world and I believe the 4th most participated site on the net. Of course even here, Beliefnet is not for those who cannot tolerate the free flow of contrasting ideas or feel restrained in not being able to abuse others or exhibit internet Tourettes.
