I don't have an answer for that.
Cheers, it's been fun.
Except for warding off the propagandists.
That's been work.
Funny that, without them the logical folk wouldn't have a platform to talk their honest, intellectual perusings (and occasional emotional outburst) against this darkness sweeping our world.
Thank you, propagandists, for toeing the company line and revealing all of the sick motivations which propel you all to put and keep indigenous, free people under your control and abuse.
We will prevail. We will flourish.
We will trouble you until the moment you gasp last.
Sincerely,
John |

Sorry, some of non-Detroit spilling over...heh...the troublemakers over there have finally revealed that they ARE working together as a team, it is pretty funny.
As I saw my post counter clicking towards 10,000...I was in the midst of an excrement-fest brought on by those right-wing pro-administration bozo-automatons.
If you don't go there now, don't start. It would be best for innocents to stay away.
Sorry for the confusion. Carry on. |

I am sick of their drivel. I was just sitting here trying to think of something to combat it.
Guess I need my old job back where I was way to busy to contemplate anything but the next FedX box full of work........ |

I get to that point often, Carol, but then remember that without their dogmatic, structured, and monotonic outlining of their positions...we'd have no place to voice our displeasure, disagreement, and general discord with their world-view and conclusions and value system.
It really is a powerful divide. Either you love money, or you love people. Seems as simple as that.
It is a VERY rare individual who happens to be at the valve of serious money flow while simultaneously serving people. They clearly love people while using money, instead of clearly loving money while using people.
You usually notice them because they facilitate the flow of money rather than the accumulation of it!
I am lucky to know a few of them, so I am aware they exist. Blessings to them all. |

To surpass these local petty distractions and instead instigate genuinely new thought should not be too difficult in the current climate. |

Sorry Gannon, but at this point I am as tired of seeing your reaction to those to whom you refer as I am tired of seeing the originals.
You seem obsessed. At the very least you make it worse with troll baiting. |

Congrats on the posts, Gannon! As for the posts, I feel if you didn't enjoy it on some level, you would just ignore it. Embrace the nonsense, it allows an outlet that usually isn't there. |

Thanks for the honest assessment, East_detroit.
The enjoyment comes from encountering the people, even virtually, Johnlodge.
Cheddar,
You of all people I wouldn't expect to wax nostalgic, I must be pretty bad now.
What a way to start a Saturday...heh.
Cheers! |

I loaned some stuff to the Techno Stage, and everything got screwy right at the time she was going on.
I ended up missing her show, AND waiting a good couple hours until some equipment showed at six...I would've been better off at Audra's.
We're going to have a talk about her choice of sound people... |

I love the original post! I just saw Gannon in the original Zelda yesterday for the first time!
"darkness sweeping the world" so true, the spreading of 911 conspiracies in the public realm is amazing. Not to sound dumb but the internet is to blame. IF its on a website it MUST be fact. |

I think you meant to write the following Gannon:quote:Finally, at 10,000 posts in three years and ten months, I would like to take this opportunity to thank Lowell for this outstanding venue for those wishing the best and worst for my hometown of Detroit, and to say a fond hello to all the newbies here at DetroitYes. I've some additional party responsibilities and (like all my posts!) want to do it well, so I wish you all peace, happiness and love. I am not going anywhere in the near future, I know I am a joy to most and only a momentary disappointment to others equally or more capable than I. Perhaps I'll stop posting after the 2008 election if another Republican is elected - but until then or later, peace and God's love to all.
Sincerely,
John Congrats dude, I will fire up a super fat Michoacan doob this afternoon in your honor. |

Gannon I enjoyed meeting and talking to you at the Forum picnic this summer. For a moment when I first read your first post that you were going to bid adieu like Karl did at 10,000... Glad that's not the case!
I'm glad to say that we've never had cross words with each other...
So let's drink a toast of tap water LOL.... Not! |

LOL...backatcha G, I was just recounting our meeting with PGN421 while working at his house a few days ago.
He's new here, and was wondering about some of the personalities.
I only cross words with those who cross me first...some people really deserve it.
I am not unhappy that Karl turned into Karlsghost; but a few of the other obviously paid shills can still get my goat.
Lefty2,
A belated welcome to you...where did you find that poster? I thought I knew all the times my family name was used in entertainment media...but that one passed me by!
I am one of those whose life is enhanced by this site...many ridicule it, but they simply do not understand communication modalities. Each of us has some form of communication that we're more comfortable with...I wish I could edit myself verbally most times!
In my estimation, there are linear, circular, and exponential thinkers...and I guess to be fair there are NULL ones as well.
Linear ones have difficulty keeping up with the tangents spun off the circulars and grasping any of multi-dimensions posed by the expos...although MOST of the circs can straighten their delivery for a short moment to accomodate, the exponentials usually cannot. The circulars and the exponentials usually just stare at each other in disbelief and misunderstanding!
I'm not sure where I fall in this analysis, but it is certainly far from linear...believe it or not, MOST of these posts are the product of extensive editing to make sure I'm achieving my goal of making a point or considering an issue from a few perspectives.
Cheers! |

Are you implying that you actually edit yourself while writing?
Wow. I would be interested (or frightened) to see what it would look like if it was actually unedited stream of consciousness... |

Just so you are aware - the power of the moon phases and the impact of the gravitational pull has a much greater impact out here - than the mere rising and ebbing of the lake tides.
Just wanted to warn you.
Take it easy jg. |

Did I tell you I lived in North Hollywood during 2000-1, and spent a good deal of time in Redondo Beach? That was when I was Technical Editor for that hifi magazine, with the twelfth floor window office a few blocks east of Beverly Hills on Wilshire.
Believe me, the moon has little effect in Southern CA compared to what I experienced up in San Francisco...Sabastopol...Half Moon Bay...the Lower Haight.
They make everything in your new 'hood look normal.
After those two years, even tempered by a six-month relationship with a trust-fund Republican Telecom CFO (previous lobbyist for ARCO in Sacramento), I came to realize that CA is as close to another planet that we can realize.
I kept jumping on scales to see if I weighed the same...checking that gravitational pull. |

Never would I compare So Cal lunacy to the Bay Area.
Those cats take the cake.
But we have our share down here as well -- just typically exhibits itself in the form of conspicuous consumption.
However, the surf crazies are all with 15 miles either direction of my door. |

Yeah, forgot.
I kinda blocked all those cc memories out of my mind...except for the shopping adventures at that Beverly Hills mall...and the Starbucks at Magnolia and Lankershim in NoHo. (nobody calls it that, but it is actually on a sign or two)
The ones anywhere near you were with the ex-, she was at a-whole-nuther level. She used the word 'trustfund' in conversation nonderogatorily. |
