Mildly reminiscing about how things were is not the same as wishing to go back to those times and be rid of new aquaintances. - expatbrit
Thank you for making that point. Thank you.
](((((((so-and-so)))))))!!!!! -JanH and another poster
There's only a couple of Jedi posters, and only one old emperor. And very rarely do any of us give this type of post - or even incorporate a cyber-hug in our posts. Just not our style. I gave one to Simon when he got da'd - but mispelled the damned thing, gave up the idea after that time.
I believe on H20, the (((....)))) was a quasi-trademark of Es.
to the H20, witnet, lurkers, trolls, etc.,
There's only a literal handful of us who've been here for one year now. Anybody else for less time than that. How long were/are some of you at H20? Witnet? I've read where some of you have been on these boards for 2,3,4 even 5 years. My god, we're just rookies here. What do you want from us? I think there are 3 Jedi's, and one emperor. And we had absolutely no say so in naming ourselves - and I've fought Simon on every name - but the damned Englishman doesn't listen!
If you don't like the counter, etc., - do like Simon told me to do - e-mail him. And I did - and I still got a man's title. To be quite honest, we joke about the names he gives us because there's usually some twerp who will interpret the amount of posts we log in as significant that we "have no life." And is stupid enough to tell us this.
As for all these "feelings" of unwantedness, unlovedness, - a post to prove them from "the old posters?"
As for all this supposed closeness, privacy, yearning that the "old posters" wish to keep for themselves, - a post to prove we're reclusive in nature?
I think I'm probably one of the most outspoken ones here, no, really I am. The only thing I continue to ask about is being civil - Simon's words and request. I've failed miserably at this several times, but not with any H20 people.
As for the Krispy Kremes - don't knock 'em till you've tried 'em. Since this is not a *real* place, us old ones tried to come up with a way of identifying it as a *real* place long time ago. No one seemed to be offended until a couple of days ago.
Simon once said that H20 was where he went to wage war - and came here to chat. Thus, the coffee shop mentality. But both places were/are valuable in their own ways - just different.
H20 people are supposed to be the hardened Web Warriors - why the arousal of discontent and disgruntledness at this little place? When you came - we said Welcome. It takes time to be at ease.
If you wish to stick around and find the ease that can be here - Welcome Once Again.
