I can't reply to it, because you deleted it. The button says You cant reply. 
The new "Conversation" format appears to work that way. You can add up to 100 people to a conversation, but the moment the person sending deletes it, the recepient cant respond.

Just like racing, practice, practice, practice.
I'm getting the hang of the new format, and although not sold totally on these changes, I'm able to do what I want.
Speed is as it was before and the site has a pulse again.
I can live with this as the alternative is S2000 darkness.
Maybe this upgrade will just serve to drive away the A holes. We can only hope.

OOOK...MINI wants to launch the Buzz Lightyear edition AKA ROCKETMAN
What do you think? Not feeling any love for this. If I were buying one, it'd be the older model (with the transmission issues) and it would be British Racing Green.

I missed most of the major flooding, bridge washouts and landslides from last week. But the main N-S highway is still flooded and the river is still rising.
My new (2009) sump pump is working like a charm. My basement dry and my neighors whose rely on me to keep groundwater levels under control are still dry despite the saturated ground. One year when the sump pump failed and I was on vacation, I got 4 feet of water in the basement and 6 houses down gradient, who had never had any water problem and had finished basements, suddenly got damaging waters as well. Once everyone figured out that my sump pump is the weakest link, there is a neighborhood watch with a standby generator and a quick response team ready to jump into action if I'm away. That's what they did last week.
But I think they let the chipmonk into the house, so instead of having time to build an ark as I was planning a a community service, Molly and I will have to have a chipmonk hunt tomorrow. While there's nothing better than a Saturday afternoon snack of grilled chipmonk and a beer in front of the T.V., the ark is probably more important given the current flood. While the hunt will be an annoyance, I'll keep it sporting. I'll open the basement door so the critter has an escape route; and my weapon of choice will be the varmit blow dart that Turner gave me. I hardly ever use it except indoors. I'll have to be careful and remember to inhale before I've put the weapon up to my mouth!

Thanks for that Jeff. Reading your posts is as close as it gets to reading Wodehouse

Is there something in the new site to keep out all the "hella flush" people too?

Guess now I have to let stuff stack up for a while so I know that people can reply
