I get confused. I remember everything. I remember too much, and... some of it's made up, and... some of it can't be quantified, and... there's secrets.

Maybe someone who understands it *cough*hiJon*cough* could ask him.

If you have contact info for the guy, I'll write to him and ask.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

UM-- not to be dogmatic-- but are we discussing a proposal, and if so which one? Gar's or bitterchicks or Nutty's. Or should someone make one. because otherwise, i think the discussion belongs in here.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I think we need to make the new thread anyway, AND continue to toss this other stuff around in here.

Jon, he'd know me by Xanderella. I just sent an introduction email (cc'd to the board's webmistress (non-tech issues), Phoenix).

Here's the text of it:

Hi Artie and Phoenix,

I was hoping you could help out a fellow fan board. At another board I frequent, we've had a problem with a suspended member coming back and posting under a new name, a lot like Geo and Jono did at the Beta.

Some of us have suggested blocking this problem poster's IP number. The technology-inclined folks over there are concerned that (this is hypothetical) if any innocent parties happen to share that IP number of anyone we want to block, then an innocent person could be blocked in the process, which would not be so great.

I was telling them that on the Beta, drlloyd11 and I showed the same IP numbers in our post headers, but that when you blocked him (at least I've been given to understand that you did), fortunately, I was not blocked.

I have no knack for the technical, so this email is just an introduction. I've pointed one of the board programmers in Artie's direction, hoping maybe you'd have a helpful tip for him. I'd appreciate it if you could help him, his name is Jon.

Thanks,

Cindy/Xanderella

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Ugh. That makes me feel squicky.
