Welcome, Jack!

[Swampy]

We've missed you.

I see you noticed he joined. I just sent him an email saying we all hope he will become very active here, as he used to be in the old forum of years ago.

Let's make sure this forum stays active, as I think the old one will close down, which is fine with me. It now has NO sysops there, other than Merzi. I asked her to strip my powers there too, which I never really used.

BTW, I found out that the LA Gay Task Force had a lot to do with the problems there. Official complaints to CIS. Please believe me, I had nothing to do with that! In fact, it was because neither Jerry nor I would remove the post that had the words "gay slime ball" is the main thing that caused this big mess. I thought nothing of the term. After all, it was from the forum joker, Tet. But somebody from the outside or some FNG didn't know not to take it as serious. Some other small problems too, but the LA Gay Task Force complaint was the big one.

But IMO, we really cannot blame Merzi either. She has a job to do. Just like we cannot blame a cop when they are told to enforce a bad law.


BTW, I think we will all like this forum better anyway, but it might take a little time to get used to.

BTW, it seems to me that we got more new members here in a few days than we got in years in the old forum. More active too! Great start!

Jack Hammond??'

I seem to remember that name from way back in the dawn of time.

Welcome back!

I can't resist.....Hi Jack!
Good to see you here and I, along with many others, welcome you back, and hope you will be as active here as you were on the Compuserve forum. BTW, I had breakfast with your SMG Uncle but couldn't tell you because you had already left the other forum. I didn't really remember him when you talked about him but, the moment I saw him I knew who he was - one of my best tech controllers in Asmara. He well deserved promotion to the highest attainable enlisted rank.

Thanks for confirming my suspicions, Don. It looked to me like that guy joined the forum only to complain, since in the two months he had been coming into the forum, he had posted only four messages, all complaining about other's postings, and half of them to me in private. Maybe it was a good thing - got us all moved over here and there has been much more activity already....Some of it even military related....

Hi Jack. Welcome to the new forum. I hope you are doing well. I look forward to your informed postings here (not to the other ones of course. :-) )

Hi Jack, nice to meet you again!
