You remind me of someone I used to know.[:D]

Was the burden of 3 stars too much to handle?[;)]

I hope that you aren't suffering from multiple personality disorder, I guess I'll worry if see The Ferginator.[:p]

Did you just wake up this morning and decide it was time for a change?

Ah such kind words but alas if you go to the DOS thread I have breathed those final adieu's.

After last weeks melee I sat back and figured that yes I post a high number of responses, some trivial but I'm having fun and taking a break between feeding the kids, painting bedrooms and bathrooms and sorting out problems on the RR. I wasn't here for star count, yet I kept an eye on my count and yes I regretably got caught up in the "race". Finally I said Hmmmm I wonder if I can stop at 499. Hopefully no one will see this as a dig because it's not and may be born from something said to me when I was much younger by one I respected "The uniform does not make the man". Hard words to live by in a society where rank has privilage.

Just my way of mending fences

As far as using Ferginator, that's a name I got years ago from my ship mates as I have this uncanny ability of constantly throwing a wrench into the works, go figure!

I'll keep that name for when I'm in mayhem mode.

What's in a name? A Fergus by any other name would still be a MESS....

Well, adjusted for inflation, I figure my count is legitimatly over 500 now, so I'll hang on to my name and reputation. I can't fault you for your decision, or your knowlege of Shakespear, which goes far deeper than mine. Perhaps some of our young friends will read this and develop a conscience. We should live so long.[swg]
