In reference to Chuck's post What the hell happened to this message board?:
the board was better years ago though, when things didnt go so far off topic. Thanks for jogging my memory. Better than the government's Freedom of Information Act which can take many months to yield results is, I repeat, Yahoo's Advanced Search function which takens only seconds. "Back in the Days" of 2005, this joint was jumpin'; sure was a banner year; there were posts by one who some claimed was trying to be anonymous, I guess because of no profile: _AsburyPark : Search Results_ (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/AsburyPark/msearch?date=any&DM=------------&DD=----&DY=----&DM2=----- -------&DD2=----&DY2=----&AM=contains&AT=bluebishop82&SM=contains&ST=&MM=conta ins&MT=&charset=utf-8) He gave, then got--a lot. Some of the most entertaining and enlightening from one courageous (as in "not anonymous") poster are gathered here: _AsburyPark : Search Results_ (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/AsburyPark/msearch?AT=skip+bernstein&AM=contains&p os=0&cnt=10) Threads did go off-topic occasionally; but sometimes they're the most amusing, and at other times they reveal some mettle. And when they reveal some "local color" about Asbury Park, then I suggest they're really not off topic. I won't paste any excerpts here so as not to be accused of being biased; however, none are mine. Search for those "baseless personal attacks" here _AsburyPark : Advanced Search_ (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/AsburyPark/msearch_adv) Consider _allthingsasbury : All Things Asbury_ (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/allthingsasbury/?yguid=228624923) where such can be minimized. And consider reporting 61 mostly empty _ASBURY PEDDLER IS A FAILURE_ (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/AsburyPark/message/23505) posts as TOS violations. =======Original Message======== Subj: Re: [AsburyPark] Re: What the hell happened to this message board?
