So nobody is using the new P&R board I set up for edgier stuff like political discussions. What are the issues? Is it too hard to log into?

I still think it's what I keep tellin' ya, Denny - folks like this little sandbox you've created. And it's much more 'comfortable' than going somewhere else. This is home; this is family. I personally think that the 'behavior' had very, very much calmed down over the last 2 months or more - and certainly since you "hid" the two problematic threads. But you may have input I'm not aware of(?). I can't speak for others, but just reading the room..........I'm pretty sure the stance is overwhelmingly that we'd rather stay here, and 'behave', than take 'that other stuff' elsewhere. "That other stuff" was a sidelight. While some, myself included, believe this is a "in case of fire, break glass" point in time.........we also realize the overarching purpose of this site conflicts with that - and so respect the sanctity of this little sandbox. Yes, there will be occasional slip-ups, but almost without exception (or maybe even, at this point in time, *without* exception), we, as a community, don't wanna lose what you've created for all to enjoy.

OK that's fine. But it's easy to get the same "family" going over there. Just create the same (or a similar) username. Like BrewCrewOldSchool just went with "Brew". And nug went with "nug" which is particularly hard to figure out. I suspect they're trying to hide their real identity.

That all look right?

So what's *your* theory as to why it's not (yet?) been embraced? Genuinely curious.

You misspelled my name.
I don't generally misspell purposefully, but alias had to max at 2^4.

Brew-- I didn't understand your comment about "had to max at...". Nicknames here (and on minuteboard.com) can be up to 31 characters long. Take "HopDiriDiriDattiriDittiriDom" for example, 28 characters long.

I may have erred, but I do recall aiming to use the English spelling, but came up with no "l" at end of first attempt...the name using English spelling used with microsoft solitaire and such.

That Spider game got me addicted for a bit...like the Master and Grandmaster levels, even with four suits! Unreal convolutions of card movements.

It must have been those Microsoft snake oil salesmen, allowing <=16 letters...utile for other's confidence-man?

No, that's mine. But notice she hasn't put forth any theory.....
I *did* have some pants *remotely* similar to those - recently sold.
