well, yeah, it is all about me after all.  I just wish everyone else could understand that.

Tim, I find today's avatar very depressing. Is that guy ever happy?

Do you enjoy CoJ????

Yes I do.  Thank you for asking.

Lara - 2007-01-18 3:59 PM Has anyone else notice that Don and ASA are missing??  Some of our best thinkers and debaters are gone...  There's got to be a reason for that..  CoJ SHOULD be the kind of place they want to come again..

Do you know that there is a cause and effect to what you are proposing here? 

If people are goofy in goofy threads, that's one thing.  If they are jacka$$es in threads that are trying to discuss serious issues in an intelligent way that's another and I could see that would chase away people who like to engage in those threads.  I don't think I've seen much of that at all. 

And I believe I've seen posts from ASA recently.

 

Mike Vick = Ron Mexico...

Mike Vick is a porn star??

I'm still here Lara.....

Thanks you for the kind words, folks. I think "CoJ post count to triathlons" ratio would be a VERY interesting metric. Maybe later. Ron bumped up the latest delivery date.

The silliness is going to happen here. It's expected. It's a sign of a successful site. CoJ was created to give it a place. I think of CoJ like the group homes I used to manage. You guys are my "special" people. Only you don't run around in public naked and screaming. Well, most of you.

And I like welshy. He's a PITA sometimes, occassionally impulsive and inappropriate , but not too bad. He's basically a good guy.

Back to playing with my daughter, then put them to bed (jamjam's in school tonight) then working on the route thingy. I'm doing the gpx file upload stuff at the moment  I need people to send me test files from their GPS units. mail them to "support at beginertriathlete.com"

The route thing is going to have what we think will be a VERY cool elevation graph. It's not going to use the same charting software you're used to seeing here. Lots of possibilities.

Once again 'the tradgedy of the commons' is clearly displayed.  This is why communism fails.  Would you all start posting more tastefully and carefully?  Your carefree shinannagins are ruining my search for enlightenment.

Sometimes the stuff is funny, sometimes it's bawdy, sometimes it's serious, sometimes it's too serious.  I love it!  If you don't like the way the post is going close it.  I've had lots of great reads here that have broadened my knowledge and some that have tickled my funny bone.  It's the variety that makes it so cool.

P.S. thanks to Daddy for nominating me for funiest post of the week in the Vick thread.  It nearly rivals my moment of monkey cyclist flinging poo genius.

It plays this way...I tolerate, enjoy, relish, and rebel against opinions based on the subject.  And more often then not, COJ gets me thinking or laughing, whether I post or not.  It's a good place, full or thinkers and people with solid positions.  Jim, Matt, Scout, Hollis, Phoenixazul, Max, Dontracy, Courtney, ASA, you name 'em, they've posted some pretty insightful stuff about themselves, and the world.

I lose interest when it's a random thread, freeform to post what folks are thinking, or feeling, on a daily basis.  The threads lose their compelling factor, aside from the folks that pad their postcount post to the thread.  It's filler. Posts to fill time, to fill space that occupy BT resource don't interest me, in the least. I love the confessions thread (that didn't exist) because it's personal, I don't support the thread killer thread because it's a thread that benefits few (whatever the agenda).

There.  It's out. Enjoy.
