George Montgomery asked that I post this:

Say Hey, Neo:

I was for out of this when we got to #1.

That was the goal.

It was a game for insomniacs.

And we, goddamn, WON! Biggest I saw was 1339%.

It appears, now, that there may be repercussions. What a tragedy!

There is a nastiness that had been avoided for about half a day. And it was as fun as fun could be. Though eventually tiring. Now the poop comes piling in.

What kind of zeitgeist is this?

I had no interest in the thread per se. I believe Edwarda didn't, either. And it seemed to me you were joyfully, and consciously, abetting us.

The overwhelming unanimity for all participants seemed to be related to the stinginess of the founders of the thread. The negative reaction to use of Ignore as an efficient way to carry on dialogs.

This leaves me with a bitter taste about the human ability to come into contact with itself.

I hope you will post this on the tail end of the thread.

I am quite disgusted at the turn against fun and games. Clever fun and games - not like breaking storefront windows.

I had better stop now. Or, I will lapse into improper language.

G.
