How do you know what "most of the oldtimers" want? Did you do a poll?

Let's see, who is left of the old timers? Me- and I dislike Reagan and don't really want to see a lot of puke about him, no matter how gratifying it is to know that people I have no respect for, respect HIM- which makes him even more repellent in my opinion. Rambi- who I think I can safely say doesn't give a crap about this discussion Christine- she'd rather talk about cocaine mummies and global warming (at least I THINK she would- if I'm wrong Christine, fell free to chastise me when you return- and DO return soon, please) Del- well he ALWAYS prefers to talk about atheism, and homebuilding and cool little stocks (again if I'm wrong- sort me out Del- just get BACK here). Janice is gone, sigh. Father Terrence- the man I love to hate, where is HE? I can't even guess what he'd rather talk about. JF won't come here any more. John Galt is gone. Joseph G is gone. Thomas White- he likes to talk to Rambi, and since she doesn't want to talk politics neither would he. Blue Crab- well dang it- I am guessing he'd just want to talk about CYTO, so no Ronnie Raygun for him- I guess. LOL <GGGG> Shalom- I don't know well enough to guess about. Skipper- he'd talk about Reagan- so there's one "old timer" And Michael Cummings is sort of an old timer- he showed up about the same time as Skipper back in '96 But the majority of old timers wouldn't want to talk about Reagan- in fact we rarely did talk about him (I can't remember talking about him at ALL) - we used to have parties (lots of parties), talk about books, movies, TV- Ayn Rand (too much damn Ayn Rand crap if you ask me) religion- LOTs of religion, family stuff, child rearing stuff, arguments over child rearing stuff- but then at that time there were a lot of women who were mothers here- and we talked a lot about kids and family stuff. It was part sewing circle and part bar and part backyard barbeque. It was great. It really was. And I feel privileged to have been there. Sometimes you don't get another chance.
