I haven't laughed this hard since my boyfriend got his wiener caught in the washing machine.>

<My Good Anteater> Wow you really know your washing machines.

Not only was it a front loader, it was an old fashioned front loader that hasn't been manufactured for at least 50 years.

There is a double roll at the top of the unit where you feed the clothes in between the two rollers...

Horrifyingly, you do the math...>

A bit of advice:

You shouldn't allude to a story about someone getting his weiner caught in a washing machine, and then not give us more details!

<Hozza>

Thanks for the Spurs stadium video, but it's a dagger to my heart.

Why?

Because it is not only unfinished, the latest news is that it may not even be finished until NEXT SEASON.

It was supposed to be ready for opening day this year.

Spurs spent 0 <zero> pounds sterling on bringing in new players this year. They will spend all their money trying to finish this twatting stadium instead.

That has never happened before in English footy history.

Even the <St. Swithens School for Young Catholic Girls in Trouble> squad brought in a new player this year. She was a steal for 50 pee, too. She's a stout gal from Lancashire who just happens to be the exact shape of a football goal.

This should dramatically increase the number of clean sheets <St. Swithens> garners this year.

Coupled with the fact that <Spurs> have started the season in 5th gear, and that <Serge Aurier> and <Sissoko> gave the ball away at least 500 times on opening day augurs poorly for the club, to say the least.

I predict an unmitigated disaster for <Spurs> this season. I don't think they will be playing in the OOFA! Champions League this year.

They may not even make the EUROPA "Green Grass" league.

October is my favorite month. The air is cool and crisp. The sky is intensely blue most days.

Here in the Northeastern part of the US the foliage turns spectacular colors.

<Tiggler> I don't like the idea of post quotas, though I understand where you're coming from.

When I am working on chess history in real time with other members, it has not been uncommon to make hundreds of posts on the same day. I don't think this should be limited or it would take even longer to get anything done- and it takes forever to get anything done accurately in chess history as it is.

I think the Rogoff page should be rehabilitated and there should be a dedicated official "politics" forum.

<Daniel> was always dead set against this idea though.

In my view, the best solution all round is to hire someone to actually monitor the site, as opposed to pretend to monitor the site.

As mentioned somewhere recently, I discovered it only takes around 15 minutes to read every new post at cg.com on a given day.

This is easy to do. It's also easy to moderate according to the 5 stated posting rules.

<Daniel> never had the will to do this, largely because of something beautiful and rare in his soul- his entire being was dedicated to "free speech," and just as dedicated to always giving someone "just one more chance."

<Daniel> was always dead set against this idea though.>

Reading this just now well signals the moment that I knew was coming, and hoped against hope wouldn't arrive.

It is the moment that I had to admit to myself, with certainty, that DF's legacy will not live on.

That definitely seems to be the case. After Daniel Freeman's untimely demise, I've hardly read a single post focusing on the need to preserve this site according to his beliefs and intentions.

You missed my point, maybe.

The point is, what you think of as an improvement might be a downgrade to someone else.

Which is how this conversation started:

< jessicafischerqueen: I think the Rogoff page should be rehabilitated and there should be a dedicated official "politics" forum.

<Daniel> was always dead set against this idea though.>

Daniel didn't want to do anything about Rogoff! He was content to leave it as it is.

And I am glad - I like the way it is.

But < jessicafischerqueen> wants to change it. I know others do - <offramp> and <tabanus> come to mind as two members who have openly stated they don't like Rogoff the way it is now.

Do you see my point now, <nok>?

What you see as "helpful" suggestions might be "horrible ideas that will ruin the website" in the minds of others.

This is why DF's legacy will not live on: So many people with influence over the website think nothing of casually making changes to things that Daniel was <dead set against>. They don't want to go slowly, and carefully, with great reverence and respect for what Daniel built, and with a strong reluctance to make even minor changes.

No, they want to straight away start doing things "their way". The fact that Daniel may have been "dead set against" something seems not to matter in the least to anyone, except me.
