Bazza Posted November 20, 2009 Report Share Posted November 20, 2009 Re: Longest Running Thread EVER I still think of blogs as write-only memory' date=' and that all bloggers have about 40 interesting posts in them. Once they use 'em up, it's just humdrum drivel.[/quote'] Some are very useful. you just have to pick and choose. It's the same with newspapers or any other medium (including threads here).

Cancer Posted November 20, 2009 Report Share Posted November 20, 2009 Re: Longest Running Thread EVER That comment, BTW, is akin to one I tell my friends who are golfers. There is a rather zen-like story about golf, that every golfer is born with a million bad golf strokes. One they use up that million, they will play perfect golf. The problem is that the bad strokes come further and further apart as you go along, so that you never actually run out of them in a lifetime....

As I said, like books, newspapers, or even peer reviewed journals; some are better than others, you have to pick and choose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

L. Marcus Posted November 23, 2009 Report Share Posted November 23, 2009 Re: Longest Running Thread EVER 'Cuz I'm strange like that. The Nationals were great. Too bad we didn't do better, but that was to be expected. I went three bouts, all against national team members. And I saw some belly dancing.

Cancer Posted November 23, 2009 Report Share Posted November 23, 2009 Re: Longest Running Thread EVER Actually, I was pleasantly surprised. Pretty much the same attendance as usual today. Now, that attendance is only 60% or so, but still better than I'd expected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
