Threads being Hijacked

I think I notice it more here becuase the core group of posters is smaller, so there's a greater concentration of the same few people saying the same things.

When I re-read it, my comment does appear harsh. I should have retracted that. Several times a day I write something (in my typically wise-assed tone) and my finger hovers between the "post" button and the "back" button. I made the wrong choice this time. :-(

Well said Peter.:-)

Don't worry, Peter. Your reputation is intact and completely and totally sullied.

P.S. These are for you:

And once again, another successful thread hijack.

You see, Renato, the problem with TRF is that we are all so used to hijacking threads that we are incapable of stopping. It's a disease we have. The problem is that I find it carries over into my everyday life outside TRF (Yes, Virginia, there is a life outside, no matter what our BKL friend thinks ). I find myself wanting to make wise a$$ comments in e-mails to colleagues and (worse) clients. I really have to stop myself and concentrate on hitting the "back" button at those times.

All is forgiven ..... hmmmmmm here's my chance.. ! Peter were you saying some time back you needed a nice place to keep your watches? Well have I a deal for you.... yes sir, I've recently invested in an invisable safe, thats righ you heard it here an invisable safe. Now where better to store your nice watches but in my invisable safe?

just a thought and wanting to help out a friend in need ;o) oh by the way the small print doesn't say anything about you loosing watch wearing rights if you fail to find your nice watches in the said safe.

Gee, thanks for the offer, Earl, but I think I'll go with Plan B: I'll give you a stack of invisible money so you can buy your own watches. :-)

What if you misplace the invisible safe??
Heck I lose my keys & they aren't invisible.

And don't talk to me about my invisible bikes. I ordered a dozen of them and damned if I can find them... but I trip and fall in the house more than I used to....

The real question is, who is shipping the invisible bikes?

That's important, but the bigger question is, if they're invisible, do they cost less to ship (does invisible mean lighter?). Are the shipping boxes invisible too?

Shouldn't we be talking about watches instead of all this

[Earl]

well, if your sure about this, I just wanted to give you the option..... As far as your giveing me money to go buy more watches.... nawwwwww I have enough for the moment but, I think I'll take your money and put it in my safe and hold onto it as you never know when you may need some. Now if I can just remember where I left that safe! ;o)

[Earl]

Good point John I just remembered I have CRS (Can't Remember $h|t) and in fact can not remember where I put it.... You know I'm going to stub my toe on it one day and I'll remember LoL

I thought this started out as a hijacking thread. Why should we be talking about watches unless you want to hijack this thread again?

Yes, and why the hell should we stop? I mean, the earth will not stop spinning, will it? The sea will not dry up, will it? JJ will not become any more insane, will he? Oops, scratch that last one...

Renato,

I can see your point in the right context don't get me wrong. This forum is so unique though due to the fact that the members can give you all the important info you want and then have a damn good time with the subject or just with each other (at each others expense of course... especially JJ!) I know for a fact that if a question is serious the info given will always be dead on and provided first and foremost. I know myself that I always get a PM or two when I really need an answer...
