wow...the only thing I could imagine drinking after reading all that is like a magnum of lemon-lime gatorade.

(which tastes surprisingly un-ghetto with the addition of Stolichnaya)

umm. Not with an agency, so I barely understand half of all that, which really limits the extent to which I can comment on it. That said I do have a couple of points. Maybe this makes me impartial-ish.

First, these boards are pretty much the only thing prospective new sleuthers can see before they at least sign up...signing up leads to subscriptions...so be nice. Oh...and randomly mention celebrities, their scandalous foibles and digital technology whenever possible!

Second..Ludacris just bluetoothed me to see if I was bringing my iPod to Angelina Jolie's next adoption.

Third...(and now I'll be serious)...bringing this up again, especially if you know it's got people upset, is flat out unclassy...to an outsider it seems kinda like gloating. Makes me wanna remain an outsider...see first point.

Fourth...couple of posts indicated that these strategic moves seemed not to have increased success rate. Which begs at least two questions: a) is it really an advantage (if not, who cares?) and b) if it's not an advantage, why keep doing it knowing that it is upsetting the very community you want to build?

K I'm done. *Slurps from bottle previously swiped from Makensie's desk drawer*

Lagavulin would have been better, but what the hell...I ain't proud!

Well said!
Thanks for expressing again how this sort of message thread makes newbies feel and how off putting it can be.
Double thanks for keeping the booze theme going!

Charlie enters the room with a bottle of Jim Beam takes a big pull sets it down and lights a cigarette. Then scratches his head and asks out loud.

Cant we all just get along? Ran you seem like a nice person and seem to stick with your decisions and I respect that, But no one wants to see this blown up into a fued so maybe we should just leave it up to Ben its his world after all. I think some people are scared it may cause aunfair advantage later on. I for one am open to any ideas but as long as one group doesnt get any special treatment.

*picks up the bottle and takes another big gulp feeling the burn of a good stiff drink, shakes head and says. Now lets all shake hands and put it behind us theres drinking to be done I just solved another case. Drinks are on me. * as I make my way to the door I turn around and ask. Whos coming to the Tricky Mister with me I'm driving.

Vodka and Red Bull please, Chrysalis.
A Duff for Homer, Vin and Paul are drinking Corona, Cameron wanted a Cosmo,
Orlando wanted some of that good ol' NZ beer he got while there and Foxx, Jamie Foxx wants a bourbon.
Thanks!
