Sorry it took so long for you to get registered. The approval process is... imperfect, we'll say.

Is this why we hardly ever get new members?  :yabbse-undecided:

It's tricky when 19 out every 20 new registrations are spambots.

Ask a couple movie trivia questions in order to be accepted and the spambots die no? Like 'who directed PDL and CMBB?' ... that's a head scracher! No but for real though

welcome P2 ... I think our richest member is also from miami so try to especially get along with him and you might meet Paris Hilton sooner than you thought

perhaps to make it easier for us to know who's real, we should make a note for new users thread on one of the public forums and ask that they initially make their username some variant of, say, "fidelio" or something.

Obviously what you are doing right now is called (in my upcoming book of psychology at least) validation. I think it's a normal thing to do. People will reply, say anything, and then you're gonna do what you were subconsciently thinking of doing all along.

Or Stefen.
He held on. The dolphin and all the rest of its pod turned and swam out to sea, and still he held on. This is it, he thought. Then he remembered that they were air-breathers too. It was going to be all right.

sundown, you are becoming a top tier poster here. Where the fuck where you the last 6 years you've been registered?! Excellent post.

Thanks that's really nice of you to say.  For a number of years I didn't have the internet in my home.  I'd use the internet at the library or in a grocery store or coffee shop etc, and in an efficient and no-nonsense way.  Only recently did I plug back into the grid.  And since I can surf from my couch now I have time and opportunity to do things like post here, browse Netflix streaming lists, check my e-mail, my favorite sites, etc, repeat.  Unfortunately too much of my recent time has been about rediscovering the internet.  There are all these places for news and discussions and media content that are great but I hope soon I either get over it, force myself to ignore it, or find some proper balance.  For the past week or two weeks I've fired up the computer when I wake up, when I get home from being out, when I want to take a 'quick' break, etc, and that's not sustainable I don't think.

Well you can cut down on the porn but don't stop posting here.
under the paving stones.

Mr. Merrill Lehrl

If there were cyber cars I'd bumper stick just that phrase.

Definitely continue posting, but please change your name back!

I'm asking nicely the first time.

Mr. Merrill Lehrl

Tell you the truth I didn't feel connected to the name sundown all over anymore, which was chosen years ago and plucked from a song I can't even remember the title of anymore.  I thought that rather than drag it along with me for no useful reason I'd just change now in the early days.  I only regret that there's little to connect me with sundown because I also changed my avatar.

This seems like a fine name to me.  If you ask again in a rude fashion please include why it bothers you.

Jeremy Blackman

I don't have a good reason, except that it's crushingly awkward as a message board name, even if it is a reference.

Henceforth, you will be acronymnized as MEL.

Mr. Merrill Lehrl

It's a rather awkward name in any sense.  I admit that's what I like about it.

And yes it is a reference, to a high-level IRS employee and occultist in David Foster Wallace's The Pale King, a book I think you would like and I don't mean a general you but you Jeremy Blackman would potentially like The Pale King.
