Bobcat and I were tied at the top of the likes for a while. Then I had a runaway funny streak over the summer and was into triple digit likes.

Oh well.

The latest upgrade of vbulletin did not have it like the old vbseo did). Anthony added this one from Dragonbyte tech.


A delayed BAMM (after snide comments...)

Watching a documentary on captive killer whales. Half way through and I want to boycott SeaWorld.

That is a tough one. I have to believe, that overall, it's been an improvement for all species of whales more than a detriment. The younger generation should even be able to stop the Japanese and Chinese from whaling. I think a lot of that does come from watching whales in aquariums around the world.

Somewhere I have some old pics of Orcas all around by 19 Seaswirl up by San Juan Island way back.....

Maybe Anthony can add your BAMM.

Not sure, opinions???? My thought was try it, it's part of the package. But I have a bit of apprehension too....

Here are my initial thoughts.
I can't think of a reason to click on people's post to register my "dislike" that will then stick to both of us. If I disagree, I'd rather talk about it as a conversation, rather than a stamp of disapproval.
If the post is problematic, it can be reported discreetly.

I think that using dislikes could stifle diversity of opinion and have a chilling effect on posting. A few unexplained "dislikes" and a new member could turn lurker, for example.

Uh Oh, would that constitute a dislike, Lack of Bamm????

I can add it though....

Is there something else you'd like to see? We may be able to rename it to something like Helpful or ???

I'm so tempted to hit the dislike button just to rattle your cage, John

Sure - how about a " We Love Hilary Clinton" button?

I was thinking the same thing...

[Ratickle]

That would be an automatic dislike for me.....

[Ratickle]

We lost power, running on the generator right now. Snow on the trees that haven't lost their leaves yet broke down a bunch of them.....

Hi Ho's!!!! One of the whales now at SeaWorld Orlando was originally in Victoria, BC. The Victoria place I went to it a few times and it was a sad place. Basically a swimming pool with 3 killer whales in it. Vancouver Aquarium had some slightly nicer pool tank with I think 4 whales. The last of them died in 96 and they didn't replace them. Victoria shut down after the whale now in Orlando killed a trainer. That whale has attacked and killed 3 people. I've also seen them in the wild, house growing up was on a beach here and with boat could easily go out and see them. I like them in the wild better.

Oh yeah, isn't it nice to have a generator when the power goes out? Second best feature of my house is the built in generator. Yesterday was so nice it was jeans and t-shirt. Today its foggy and cold.

I just went through the books and records for the 944 I just bought. The original owner purchased it on April 23 1987 in Vancouver. Same dealer my Dad bought my Mothers Jaguar. I went with him to pick it up. I wanted a 944 so drooled over them in the showroom. We purchased the Jag on the 22nd in 1987. I know the date because it was my parents anniversary. Reason for the Jaguar. Regardless I probably drooled over the car that is now in my driveway.

All right... I just disliked a post by everyone...it's empowering

[Bobcat]
