Anybody know what's up with the Basin?

[Hjuki]

I noticed we seem to have two threads going on this issue.[right][snapback]69119[/snapback][/right]

yes, true.

perhaps i should be the one apologizing.
it looks like i was the culprit who managed this. this started as a thread a looooooong while ago in 2003
(hmmm . . . maybe i don't need to conjure the 'old man' voice emphasizing some thing antiquated or old
for anything that took place in the 21st century).
when we had our last outage, i am thinking it was that hurricane that slammed the coast (and with a causal
chain of occurrences only rube goldberg could have drafted out), we were knocked on our butts for a while
and i laid the oooooold' bumpity bump mojo on this thread in january of 2005 thinking we would all come here
to communicate (ummm . . . i did the geezer voice thing again, didn't i? my bad). that must have been when the two
threads thing reared it's ugly . . . two heads.
then yesterday when it happened again i did the same thing and went here right away and did a bumpola
on this thread the second time this year.

wait a sec, i am i telling this story right? which one of the outages was the hurricane? i am not certain now,
but one of those times was a hurricane or whatever.

and then ford wrapped his story up . . .

ok, so both times we had two threads at once here it was i who committed misdemeanor bumpery with this thread.
tho none here made issue of that, the smart thing to have done would have been to check the whole forum first
and see if we already had a thing going instead of getting all rowdy and drawing attention with a
potentialy distracting thread in atma's tavern.

so young man, what did you want to say to nice mr. bolty ?

please forgive me for the hair trigger use of the [Add Reply] button.
tho noone made a big deal of it so far that i have seen, i appreciate your well organized and moderated forums.
careless bumps are one of those things that easily turns a sloppy poster into an unwelcome poster.
your crew and readers here are always very friendly and kind. when we appear here en masse it is because this is
the first, best and only place that comes to mind, and it says alot about this place when you see how quickly and
spontaneously dozens of us appear here unrehearsed.
making a mess of your swell digs is no way for any guest to behave, all of us at the basin think more highly of
the llounge than that.

thank you for your patience.
