My condolences to his family.
RIP Russ

I'm very sorry to hear that. He hadn't visited BAUT recently, but I definitely remember his posts.

I am back for a bit, just checking to see if there is any more info on that LNER E-cat thingy. Seems it is a scam according to opinions here.Originally Posted by Whirlpool
Include Pinemarten and Paracelsus.
They 've been out for a long while too.

I pop in and out. Facebook games hog a lot of the time I spend online. By the time I'm done feeding my fish, farming my farms, digging up my islands for treasure, and petting my pets, I'm ready to be off the computer for awhile. I have some pics from my Galapagos trip I'll likely post in a few days, though.

Paracelsus, who are you again?

Go ahead and tell us a little about yourself . . . but not too much.

Oh, good--I was worried that it was funny in my head but would come across as rude.

That is the danger of being a member who doens't use emoticons. </offtopic talk>

How did writers of ancient times (BC - Before Computers) ever get
ideas across to their readers without emoticons? It is a wonder!

Wasn't an issue; emotion wasn't invented until sometime in the nineteenth century, well after the first colon and parentheses were joined together by George G Smilie.

I'm so used to Facebook now that I was looking for the 'Like' button on your post, Fazor. Where did the emoticon function go, anyway?
Established Member
Never mind. I see them in the 'advanced' toolbar. Duh.
Order of Kilopi
And emoticons followed soon after. There were 19th century emoticons, and Lincoln might have been an early adopter, but that's debated. I'm serious. See:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emoticon#Antecedents
(Oh, correction, the Lincoln reference was a transcript made by someone else.)

In case anyone wanted to know, I'm back and sufficiently cooled off now. See y'all around the fora.

Hooray! Glad to see you back here.
Order of Kilopi
Just heard from her through Sammiie, she's ok but still haven't gotten the internet connection sorted out, so communication was through Facebook via Sammiie's phone.<crickets>
From Samiiee: "she said to pass on that she'll be back soon she's just taking a break. Wanting to get everything sorted out"

Ditto, I'll pass it on to her fellow mods. Tell her we left her a spammer or two.
