I'm not working and have plenty of time so I'll be happy to take it on. Besides, that way I get to count the votes. Nominees should note that last fact.

I don't think so, but I wouldn't generalize about it. It's not a big reason I'm here. As others have pointed out, the moderation is pretty good there. The biggest problems with it that I see are mostly due to the large size of HF. The passive moderation is all that can be done, but it leads to problems. The fact that moderation is often opaque is a problem I'd like to see go away, but it probably never will. I'm here because I like the feeling of community and the much higher S/N.

Thanks, this looks like a good one. Unfortunately, you can't buy it on line and there is not an IKEA anywhere near me. Bodum does make a metal french press but it's fairly expensive. I'll keep looking.

Maybe you'd have better luck if you dug in Jacob's basement.

It's obvious that you haven't heard about Vicki's patients. All of their hair is public.

Went to a friend's house to work on assembling my Ray-Way Sleeping Quilt kit. He's a professional when it comes to sewing and found the instructions pretty amusing. Then "we" started to put it together. He got it about 2/3 done in 2 hours. It would take me many, many hours to do.

Happy Birthday guys. You get to have twice as big a hangover as the rest of us.

You mean besides Tyll and Naaman?

Shouldn't it be when he pays for an item? Has he paid for this yet? If not, he only has about 8.5 hours to do so.

Stacy will be there, at least for the partying part. She couldn't care less about HP equipment. One thing we can do to make it less of a sausage fest is to start a fund to buy Indra and her boyfriend airplane tickets.

Happy Birthday Jacob. Have a great one.

CanJam 08 was great! But as I remember, all the Texas members dropped out and didn't come. Hmm, wonder if that is why it was so great? Hopefully some of them will come to CanJam 09 and we'll find out.

I'm surprised that you can stay awake long enough to post.

The glass beaker of my current Bodum french press is cracked and leaking. This is the second consecutive beaker that's failed in under a year. Can anybody recommend a small capacity (4 cup or 20 oz. range) french press that will last longer than a year? I would think that having a metal beaker or something similar would be good. Meanwhile, I'll start searching the web.

"Dear, you know how you've always wanted to go to Disneyland? ..." And they will be for the rest of your life.

You're thinking of the wrong Michael Jackson. This one was probably the world's greatest writer about scotch and other spirits. He passed away fairly recently. I'm too lazy to look it up plus having a macaw sitting on my chest makes it a little challenging.

1800 isn't bad, but it's not in the same class as the tequilas Dan first suggested.

Is there any IEM or earbud that the AE-2 can't drive? I doubt it. I can say that an AE-2 easily drives UM-2 (IEM) and PK2 (earbud).

I'll have to tuck this away and see how amusing it is a year from now. Nate actually has a chance of making no major changes in a year, unlike some others here.

Happy Birthday!

Really? Why?

If you'd like to make it a threesome, let me know and I'll show up.

Thanks, we are too. We might have edged ahead of removing your kid's wisdom teeth in the contest to see who can spend the most on health care this month.

While he is young and has no health problems, you might want to consider looking into getting health insurance for him. In now two separate bouts with serious illnesses, we have about $8K in vet bills into one of our cats. We love him and will pay it, but it would have been nice to have. Of course, it probably would have been canceled after the first episode 7 years ago.
