Expecting Rain

i came here ISN, because you spread yourself about - hard to track down. but i know where i see Long John i'll "always" see ISN. the "last waltz" - neil young - "i think they've got it now Robbie" - glad to see you have ISN. shame about the sign-out though - don't use Long John's ghost-writer for these "lesser posts". his typing-finger waving - go away you "&#)!**$.++" means nothing to me. i'm probably all the things i've been called by Long John and ISN - but i am not a "trading nazi f**k", and i won't rest until a simple apology for such a reprehensible remark is withdrawn. do i expect one - in reality sadly no. i've never read a Long John manifesto except if it mentioned me - honestly- how much can you take ? but i know enough now of this person that their world would tumble down around them if they didn't believe they had a captive, adoring audience on this site. maybe if you can't come up with an apology Long John - YOU should go away. makes me sick when i see people like you putting magnificent portrayals of bob next to your vile rhetoric.

Also, the machine can often be very off base.

I didn't really post a guitar emoticon 30 times. The forum was acting up then.

i can't forget it - but it's finished. i got a reasonable hearing and you can't ask more than that. any forum about bob is far greater than any individual or their personal principles. sorry Bob Zimmerman - i wouldn't take your job on for "quids". i never had the right to challenge your integrity. my main thanks are reserved for Stellasgrl2 and Ninchen. their intervention was a revelation to me - very nice bobcats - thank you both. regards & cheers. don't worry - "i'm going. i'm going - i'm gone !"

I must be blind when are you going going gone for?? what did you do wrong?

Actually, the machine isn't off base, it's just the way the internet works. Contrary to what's commonly believed, an IP address only identifies a particular individual during the time they're logged on to the internet. each time someone signs off, their IP becomes available for someone else, and their ISP assigns them a new IP address the next time they sign on, and since hundreds of people can share the same ISP, there's no way of knowing which IP address belongs to which individual, unless that person stays connected to the internet permanently and never signs off. IP addresses are a very unreliable way of telling who is who.

You've unearthed a treasure, twood.

I sat and read this thread while my 4 year-old rewound and replayed the oompa loompa song (which follows Veruca Salt's demise) over and over and over. Talk about surreal.

We don't allow the Burton version in our house! (Gene Wilder really is brilliant, isn't he?)

When the shit hit the fan on this site, I contemplated nominating you as being one of the new moderators, but I couldn't face having a hand in inflicting that kind of pain onto you.
