Birte!!! Your here...I'm soooo happy. You were one of my favorites and I thought you were lost!

You have my permission to post anything of mine. Jaye, does this mean we can keep the official "shortest post on BT" which you have the honor of holding? That's a keeper!

Hello Rosebud, nice to see you here too, and thank you - same to you - i never miss a post of yours. I was in Denmark all summer where I had no computer.

And Jaye, please feel free to use anything I've ever posted no matter how silly the subject or my input may be.

birte

Ditto and then some.

!Hi Rosebud, good to see you, too. I didn't make a copy of it or the thread, did you? Who knew disaster loomed? I'll try to reproduce it from memory some time.

You guys are brave. I've said some really asinine things in the past and not sure I could give such a blanket permission, but mostly it would be fine with me, too.

Jaye

Yes, I see no reason not to do this.

We need to try and rebuild as much of that historical record as possible, since it's apparently lost. So much of that information is invaluable.

John

Thanks for your careful and concerned consideration, DJ. Please come back and read as more history shows up. You'll surely enjoy it.

Jaye

Hey Jaye,

An admirable effort. Although I am now assembling all my BT posts for publication under the title "Blow Hard and Make A Wish - Ad Hominems and So Much More" (kidding), you certainly have my permission to post anything I wrote on the old BT incarnations on this new board. Hopefully the really bad posts will have died a quick death, and anything that remains will at least give some badly needed historical perpective, no matter how quaint or dated they may be now.

Your pal,

Greg

It's harder than it looks, to pull out something that was once in a graphic user interface, make it legible, and make it economical in the kilobytes department so I don't load down readers' computers. I find some stuff has holes in it, or the title didn't copy, or whatever, so I will edit as judiciously as possible. Some stuff is junk the day after it's written, and some might not re-read to well, so as self-appointed editor I'll try to be reasonable and kind. I should have a nice thread up later tonight.

Thanks for checking in, Greg, as I was going to get in touch--I can only imagine how your agent clamors for words to publish. I do expect 10%, of course. JK

I would appreciate a word from anyone who doesn't like what they see in Parkies from the Past posts, but even more would I appreciate several words from those who like them. I hope there will be present-day reaction on the topics, to make it even more interesting.

the "J" is for "Just an idea..."

Jaye

Jaye
I cannot think of anything I said in the past that I regretted; so post away. I anxiously await them!

It's so good to see Birte and Rosebud joining us here. In fact, it's good to see the "oldies but goodies."

Thx for doing this, Jaye.
Peggy
