Ok if I just stop in from time to time and ask just one question?
You dont have to answer.
You don't even have to kick off a long discussion.
I'll just ask one question and move on. Ok?

Obviously you can do whatever you want. It's just a bit hypocritical to
come in and jump on one of our more beloved contributors for his Braves
posts and then post all noise and no signal after doing so. You may
not appreciate his contributions, but many of us consider him a friend
and he has earned Guest of Honor status at the upcoming Lost Weekend.

In the past few weeks that you say we've had no on-topic discussions
there have been hundreds of Vegas related posts. Perhaps you're not
aware that the majority of off-topic political posts aren't
originating from AVLV, they are cross posted here by a tiny handful of
idiots who have no interest in Las Vegas.

But regardless, I don't want to add to any hostility here. Like many
of our regulars I think it would be great if you would ask questions,
and/or participate in the discussion and just move on from the whole
"Braves" incident, although it certainly now qualifies as a pretty high
quality running joke.


Yep... like tomatoes, anchovies and Snootybuckets.

Congrats, BeatyGirl... you are now a solid contributor to AVLV folklore.... and that isn't a bad thing.

Ask away and I'm sure someone will try to help you... even me... and even without the sarcasm.
