    Yes. I've also noticed that sometimes it rains.

    You've sometimes noticed that it rains or you've noticed that it sometimes rains? We need to nail this down. Not the rain. I know you can't nail rain. Well, possibly you can nail rain but I can't nail rain.

    Rain is more noticeable when it turns white and piles up on the ground.

    I'm confused ... I started the thread, but where did my original post go?

    I'd suspect that Tracey guy. Brings new meaning to hi-jacking a thread. :)

    I swear that I have an alibi. If you'll just give me a minute to think of it...

    Is this supposed to be a joke?

    It's not supposed to be but when odd things occur then so come the jokes.

    I was going to post something about unixman being Jack Tracey but thought better of it. I am simply above putting anything like that in this forum. I am also Napolean.

    The site has had some database problems and this appears to be one. The assaults on the site may have taken their toll. But we are stalwart and resolute and we troop on.

    Lol - gotcha. :)

    To repost my original comment, if the owners of the site want help with this, PM me.

    Well, I don't know about the "supposed to" part but I have been treating it as such. No offense, but complaints about the slowness of the board seem to me like complaints about the weather...a little patience and the problem is solved. This attitude is said to be characteristic of New Englanders so perhaps I should be more patient with those who are "geographically challenged."

    Patience, eh? The only reason there is a Connecticut is that we New Yorkers wanted something between us and Massachusetts.

    Maybe that graph could be tweaked to show this too...

    It's true that conditions on the website are kind of like cyber-weather. But isn't the weather one of the most popular topics of conversation out there in the (perhaps mythological) physical world? Why should it be any different here?

    But what I really want to know is how Unixman's original post could be deleted without the whole thread being deleted along with it.
