You'd need only slightly block his friends driveway by a few inches to find out your assumption is wrong.

Let's be completely honest....it was really the poodle that put me on tilt.

I guess we'd be good to go then... I know how to park a vehicle.

Me either, Jerry. More because of what happened to my ex and how hurt he is over the whole situation. I'm tired of people talking smack about him and accusing him of doing it himself, when in reality, he wasn't the one who put stuff in the fuel. It makes me really upset, and I wish there was something I could do. NASCAR has actually done the impossible this past week... made me want to turn the channel away from the cars.

You really cant blame people for missing a guy like Mike. While his personality probably doesnt gel with a lot of people, he went out of his way to give information out about this sport that you really need to be in the biz to know and gave info about horses he very well should have kept to himself. Communicating with him on email is better for me personally. So because of that, I dont really care if he posts here or not.

As for Balleto, is she real or not? I have heard shes a guy imitating a very attractive girl. Is this true?

Gander,

I've never met her, but I've spoken to her on the phone numerous times and can tell you she's a chick. From what I understand, there is ONE member on this board who has met her, and he evidently has chosen to keep his mouth shut concerning her and that's his perogative. I believe that she's who she says she is, though. Just my take.

The NYTimes has an article today on why people respond online in ways they don't in person- it's not only the anonymity (did I spell that right?) of it:

http://www.nytimes.com/2007/02/20/he...ce&oref=slogin

I'm going to post this on a separate thread, too, because I think it's good reading.

What I found interesting is one of the things the internet usually lacks that many in-person situations have is an authority figure. So, with Steve, et al, monitoring the site, it's not so much censoring as making the board run a little bit more like a face-to-face conversation would.

And aren't I a good girl for not getting in on this thread before now? My mommy always taught me if I don't have anything good to say, don't say anything at all.


Seriously though, I do miss Joel's posts. I may not have always agreed with him, but he was intelligent and was always very nice to me.

I don't know what went on with Balletto. But I believe if Cajun talked to her, then she is a SHE. She seemed a little wild but not harmful.

Now some of the others? I will plead the fifth.
