The attached image (message-history.gif) shows as of today, the relative
posting to Fairfield Life and The Peak. The drop in postings to Fairfield Life
as a result of the migration to The Peak is plain enough. In my opinion the
reduction in diversity has resulted in fewer posts all around, and often much
less interesting posts. Fairfield life can still provide some interest as some
TBs are still posting here. I think ak ak was the language that Tim Burton
created for the Martians in his movie Mars Attacks!

Sounds to me as if Jim Flanegin, concerned that the number of posts made each
day in the last week on The_Leak is less than half of the number of registered
members, and that the only reason the number of people actually making these
posts is greater than 8 this week is that Rick posted a couple of times,
suddenly realizes that he is not getting nearly the amount of attention he
needs.
So he reads FFL and realizes that once again Barry is making valid points of
criticism about Maharishi and the TM movement that none of the TM supporters
there can refute. Of course a couple of die-hard cultists have piled on to him
to try to demonize him so that lurkers don't pay attention to the fact that
what he's saying is fact, but that doesn't seem to be working. Horrors.
So Jimbo realizes he has to come to the rescue. Because *he* can't refute the
facts that Barry's been posting either (because...duh...they're facts), the
only thing he can do is make up slander about Barry, the way he used to before
he ran away from FFL with his tail between his legs. But, he realizes, he can't
even do *that* any more because everyone will know it's him, and will know that
even *he* is so bored with the trivial mind-pablum that passes for discussion
on The_Leak that he has to come back to FFL to get his
throw-some-nastiness-around fix.
Jimbo realizes that to pull this off he's going to have to create a new ID, and
spends 15 whole minutes trying to decide whether to make this one male or
female. Finally, deciding that he *still* hasn't gotten over the embarrassment
of pretending to be a woman called enlightened_dawn11 for months, he decides on
the name ak_ak, because that's the sound his throat makes involuntarily every
time he realizes that someone's getting more attention than he is. He adds a
random number to the end of ak_ak and lets fly, making up stuff he imagines
about Barry's day.
Then, spent, he goes back to *his* day, which consists of sitting in front of
his computer, staring at the screen, clicking Return every 30 seconds, saying,
Why hasn't anyone said anything about me yet?
Meanwhile, Barry dashes off this post in a couple of minutes to make him feel
better, because someone finally has. :-) :-) :-)
