And what constitutes a win? Just saying, "I won"? Just looking for some continuity here.

That is a good question. Usually, people get tired of the subject, and end up leaving me with the last word.

I tend to call that a sort of victory, if you will.

Granted, I'd put it in the OOC category, but if everyone else just "gives up." I guess that's how it goes.

Then again, if there is a thread in which I have an interest, have posted the last message, and it seems to have died there.

I often find that if I post a "I Win" message, the whole thing starts up again. Another victory, in my humble opinion.

VBR,

Al

Be honest! They do you a necessary favour, Al! Like an actor you can not live without being noticed by others! Your only real profit but possibly not covering your costs for the Internet

It is true. My presence on the net has had a negative impact on my wallet. But I would call it a labour of love, so cost does not enter into it.

And naturally, if I'm not noticed, I don't get a chance to persuade the occansional fence sitter to my point of view.

I really miss Jasta sometimes, specially now that I FOUND an answer to his persistant question about the claim that Bishop put in that ended up saying it fell apart.

Oh well. Maybe later.

VBR,

Al Lowe
