Lol, yeah, we need to keep track of those. At one time, a bunch of counterfeit GOOBF cards were printed and distributed. Some people had billions.

You mean like my Zimbabwean GOOBF bill?

It's still negotiable, isn't it?

Borek got his initials right, but backwards. His initials are P.G. He talked me into joining the Navy. We'd been best friends since 7th grade. We were both 18 in this picture.

I decided that our friendship needed some slowing down about 4 years later, when he tried to kill me*.

*He gave me a ride on the back of his brand new Harley Davidson on a cold drizzly November night up on Whidbey Island. A drunk lady pulled out in front of us, and we hit her @ ~55 mph. I lost my big toe nail. Pat spent 6 months in the hospital. He used the insurance settlement money to buy a truck, which he totaled a few months later. He eventually got married, still rides Harley style motorcycles, and has become what I would refer to as an evangelical christian. I on the other hand, remain single, have had an aversion to motorcycles since the incident, and more than anything else, consider myself an evangelical scientist and part-time bohemian. I doubt our paths shall cross again. Except perhaps at high school reunions. We do have fun reminiscing how we didn't die.

Interesting story Om. But it's awkward that you lost interest in motorcycles just because the incident. I know a person who lost an arm in a car accident-- wasn't his fault too-- and still drive cars till today.

Anyways, glad you only lost a toenail.

Evo, I have a confession. I ate all the oreos. Drank all the milk. And printed all the counterfeit GOOBF bills.

By the way, you should probably change your password from the first 5 numbers of pi. It was deliciously easy to get in and take what I needed.

Also, Omcheeto made me do it. He said he would take my lunch money if I didn't. A man's gotta have his half-pint of milk, ya know?

But Om told me no one would guess that password.

Milk does a body good.

... re rules. I tried to ask questions on an unmoderated physics newsgroup and gave up after noting that most of the replies were from people propounding some form of conspiracy theory or espousing physical theories that harked back to good old Newton and Aristotle - no need to get entangled in the strings of quantum theory at all (*)! Please, keep the Reasonable Rules. All in all, I prefer living under the Moderator's In Black tyrannical yoke of oppression than trying to eke out an existence in Theory-Rich, Fact-Free Anarchy.

Note:
(*) I think it was usually an alien, under contract to the CIAFBIKGBIlluminati guvment people, crashed his UFO into the Towers to release the secret chemicals into the air that emulate global warming. Sounded plausible but I couldn't find an independent expert - they all suffered from amnesia after being "probed". Oh, and that Einstein fellow ... he was clearly wrong and there are half-a-dozen proper theories out there that prove it (or at least they will when a few little points have been addressed (like agreement with experimental evidence)) thus making fools of the secret cabal that denies funding to research that disagrees with the New Doctrine.

As it happens, this is also the largest forum on the net, and for advanced questions the only place where you're likely to get an answer.

Perhaps you should consider that the size, quality, and utility of this forum exists thanks to, and not in spite of, the moderation rules?

People could just block people like on Facebook, or vote to hide their posts as on Youtube. This is my last post on a forum ever. The groups on Facebook are much smaller, but they'll have to do. They'll grow. I'm not the only one who's had enough of forums.

If you think quality science discussion will be better served by public opinion polling over moderation by professional scientists, please start a forum based on that construct.
