A few questions about Lynch, the website, and Russert. I only rambled once. They wanted to know what everyone was saying about the situation and my thoughts. I explained that the situation was very polarizing and contentious. I said I was in the "wait and see" camp and that justice proceeds at its own pace, not mine. The Duke Lacrosse team rape case should have taught us all a lesson. I referenced the Tim Russert thread that everyone was leaving their well wishes to the family and their memories of Tim.

Well, my brother just called. He caught it. I didn't tell anyone as I tend to want to minimize the damage I inflict upon myself.

Just curious if I caused anyone to drive off the road with my terrible voice...

Nothing good can come from this....

Bruce Weissman over at http://www.SportsCruises.info !!! Bruce is a small businessman who has decided to support Two Bills Drive in an effort to grow his business. I have traded many emails and talked with him on the phone. From all indications he seems like a good guy trying to get his own business up and running. He is now taking reservations for a cruise down to Miami to see the Bills whip the Dolphins. Currently, his website is a little rough, retro 1996 , but we will be giving him a hand to help put the polish on a lot of hard work. Since he has decided to support us, I hope that those who are inclined to book a vacation cruise will give him a chance to earn your business. It would make sense to support someone supporting a hobby you enjoy (love to hate? ) rather than just picking a name out of the telephone book. Please think about Bruce if a vacation cruise is in your near future. His banner ad will be prominently featured on the front page of TBD. Thanks...

Traffic is valuable whether they selling something or not. Once you establish traffic then you can leverage that into profit. So, using someone else's traffic to increase your own is a crummy way to increase the valuation of your own web space. How is that?

nope... http://www.twobillsdrive.com/chatroom.png

because I learned years ago that everyone isn't going to agree with any decision made anywhere at any time. So, I noted your objection, accepted your right to your opinion, and moved on. You should just accept that the policy will continue and move on. Now, if you write a book or star in movie - let us know - we'll be sure to highlight it....

well, that says it all right there now doesn't it... Nice catch on that one Lori. That was much worse than this one: http://www.stadiumwall.com/index.php?showtopic=65355 which is the one that really crossed line.

It's time to just let it go...

If I may add to this - because no one here knows exactly what happened we are all speaking to images in our minds of what some accident scene, somewhere on Earth may have looked like. I'm sure people have images of people getting hit and flying over their windshield or their tires driving over someone's chest, etc... So with these hypothetical images in mind - people are pronouncing what they would do in such a situation, even though it may have little relevance to what happened that night with Lynch.

there are probably 100,000 people or more registered through that site, so I wouldn't be worried....

Even if the game isn't scheduled - they show the highlights during the game that is on, so people tend to rely less on the chat room these days.

the problem with that room is that you have to login once every 3 weeks to keep your registration. It kind of sucks, but the price is right! Hopefully this will provide a much better experience this season, although the chat room ios less necessary now that the NFL network shows the preseason games.

Our chat room host has moved away from java and installed a flash based chat. It loads pretty fast for me and I have had no issues. How is it for everyone else?

Exactly.... When community members do cool things we try our best to make sure everyone knows about it. Whether it is Ken's book, or Moose's wallpapers, or Dr. K's TV script - it is always cool when members showcase their talents. So, rest assured we welcome that kind of interaction. However, when people you don't know decide to showcase themselves, well - that's not so special. FYI, links can be submitted for approval on the TBD front page...

No one is pissed off and as I explained to you privately , I cannot see how we can justify what you are doing, when we have told countless others that their same behavior was inappropriate. Fans with blogs, fans selling t-shirts, cruise packages, knick-knacks, ebay items, etc... where is the cutoff? How many people who are not members of this community do we allow to pimp their wares? There are other means of driving traffic to your site, this isn't an appropriate one because I'm not ready to make you the lone exception after 10 years.

Of all the lives one could lead - that would be one of them.

Pretty cool. Mother teaches Philippino boy to sing and she eventually dies. Boy is homeless, lives in Manilla Park picking up scrap metal to buy bread. Eventually starts making money singing in clubs. Ends up having a video put on YouTube of a live performance. Members of Journey stumble across him covering a Journey tune and fly him in for an audition... Sounds more like Steve Perry than Steve Perry does. Homeless to touring the USA with Journey... Pretty nice story. http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2008/06/01/...in4142967.shtml

every night there are 100 of them swarming around a couple light fixtures upstairs. Little !@#$ers. I have to suck 'em up with the Dyson so they swirl to their death... until the next batch arrives next evening.

Well, if Sept. 1 is the time to do it in MD - then late Sept is way too late in WNY. It takes about 14 days to germinate, so by the time mid-sept rolls around the weather will be perfect. Having seeds germinate in mid-oct doesn't seem like a good plan.

Tirico? Is that you?

did you mean Bills Digest?
