  1. I have Macs. Final Cut Pro is definitely great.

    One thing that makes the mac worth its price is the fact that it does not get about 98% of the viruses and spywares, since most of them are written for windows.

    It is very cool, too. Granted it has its limitations on availability of software, but it is solid, reliable and the software that it does have is written for the hardware on the machine. A good marriage of hardware and software.

  2. Last night I found out that one of my dearest friends has passed away.

    I last saw her about four years ago. She was always filled with great joy and enthusiasm.

    I can't believe that she is gone.

  3. the rules are going to be really simple. Hijack this forum or any other forum and your posts in that particular forum will have to be approved by me.

    If you are trying to demonstrate something, then start a thread and put something in the title that will indicate what you are trying to show.

  4. GT,

    Where did I say they bother me about you ALL the time? There have been cases of it. None recently. I was just giving that as an example since you and Ex both posted on here.

    And to answer your question in another thread that was about something entirely different. I think showing all the names keeps everything up front. Since doing it the sniping of others has diminished. If you want to be invisible you still can be... I'm not going to tell you how though... you can figure it out though

  5. First of all the "hit" meter is not accurate. I've tested it with a private topic that involved just me and another screen name that I made up. The hit meter went up when I wasn't looking at it.

    The meter ideally will go up everytime that you or others involved view the topic. So if you go in to check if there is a new post the hits go up by one and the same if another goes in.

    Since I am the only one that could possibly view the private topics, lay off the moderators. As a matter of fact, I am the only one doing the moderating since the last time you and a few others brought this up. I do have one moderator that is organizing the archives for me and two others that have moderation powers should something happen to me.

    I do NOT view the private topics, I can but choose not to. They are private in the sense that they are not available for the general public. I said way back when this forum started not to trust the "privacy" of those topics.

    While I am on the soapbox, the moderators that I DID have left as a result of unfounded accusations and innuendos.

    I work very hard to make this a fair forum allowing divergent voices to be heard. There are a few that want to just complain instead of being a valuable participant of this forum. I have nothing against constructive criticism, in fact I am in an email debate with one poster right now, defending a particular member's right to post.

    In fact both you and Ginger Tea have been two of the many that I have defended in the past. In my opinion it is great to disagree, it is so ANTI-way.

    I take a lot of hits for what I do. I don't always "rightly divide" (yuk) in my decisions, but at the very least I make the decisions.

    AND... about MODERATION. Most of the posts that go into moderation are a direct result of names being mentioned of people that have requested that their names not be mentioned. (Ex, I had to take down your real name once, to protect your privacy) About three people are on moderation. I just recently took it off one person. One of the other ones consistently attacks victims for no good reason... I won't allow that. Another person has a penchant for swearing incessantly. I don't like to do it, but there are a number of young adults reading these forums and since he doesn't have the ability to control his language, I have to.

    I hope that answers your question... AND Ex, you weren't one of the complainers I was talking about.
