Buck has a point. Some use this forum as a personal blog and some use it as if it's a family blog. Rick, shut it down temporarily for three weeks. It will give the members the time to rejig and reboot their brains. Not that it's going to change their characters or behaviour. Uncle Tantra and the 'all powerful Judy' and the rest of the 'mean girls' can take a time out, without feeling left out or missing out. > > > > Look down at the post list and see that very few are actually related to FF > > or FFL.
