Yes, Jazz, please consider jumping in more often. You may not post frequently, but whenever I see your Avatar (seriously), I always remember some very valuable posts you've made, here and there. Your contributions are most welcome, and please feel free to chime as much as you can and would like to. You (Jazz) have the benefit of knowing us, far more than we know you - and I feel that's our loss - cuz you definitely seem like a good guy. I lurked on the BNBB for a few months, before I dove in. "Free For All" lurked for literally a few years (at least two years, that I know of), before I goaded him into joining in. I'm absolutely sure that I speak for many of us, in saying that you (and anyone else who lurks more than posts) are totally welcome to contribute (or contribute more often), even if it's just a matter of asking questions, or adding tangential info to threads, or any other way you can think of. The more the merrier. And Jazz - you in particular seem like the kind of level-headed person I'd be glad to hear more from, and get to know better.

Hey b3. Can you edit the title and sub-head of this thread, to better indicate that this is the place for people to sign-up to opt out of the Political threads?? I know of at least one other person who I think will probably choose the "non-political" option. But knowing him - he probably wouldn't even click on this thread with it's current title. Thanks!!!! (PS: I'll PM him too, and point him towards this thread. He may only be checking the board from work, in which case he may not even be around any this weekend.)

I think this would have been the case (probably) for Moncur at least.

Ditto. Good to have you back - hope you stick around.

CLIT, WELCOME ABOARD. THIS IS WHERE THE REAL JAZZ IS DISHED (DISSED) OUT. STAY WITH US PAL AND TELL ALL THE NO NO NANETTE SITE (ALLABOUTGIZZ) DILDIES THAT THIS IS WHERE THE REAL ACTION IS. Stapleton can talk his British "FREE JAZZ" shit over there while sitting around his fireplace with his smoking jacket and pipe and think that he knows the shit. The NO NO NANETTE SITE buys into that just like the WOD'S (Webmistress of Death) JAZZ CORN(HOLER) site buys into all of RODOMONTADE REYNOLDS AND CHRIS A's jive. Thank You for listening. WINGY Particularly dissing Bev, British jazz, and "Free Jazz" all in one fell swoop.

Can Johnny sign up as a "politics-only" member??

Post starting another thread just now. Reposting it here, to combine the threads into this one.

FYI, there is another thread discussing this topic, already started. Suggest we add to that thread, rather than having two separate threads. The other thread can be found: CLICK HERE. Cheers!!! PS: I bumped the other thread up just now, and reposted the original post from this thread, into that one.

ascii - smurf In color, no less.

Just go take a fucking walk, why doncha!!!

You know, the Moose has a point. And there's probably nothing quite as dangerous as a pointy moose.

OMIGOD !! Up until now I've been cooling and tempering my VERBIAGE. After reading this thread I realize this really IS a Jazz BBS. I'M HOME !! WINGY oh FUCK! Yup, that's right. We're FUCKED!!!!

Thank you for checking Jim. If it's available, I think there may be some need for it.

That's probably the roadblock right there -- intelligence.

Thanks bertrand!!! Listening to "The Chief" now, and it's a cool tune. Shame the studio version didn't cut it. Thanks for checking on this for me. I knew somebody around here knew the details -- just couldn't remember who. Thanks again!!! -- Rooster T.

I normally bond with animals fairly easily, and I can easily see why you’d be pissed about this, Joe. But what would piss me off the most about this was the unnecessaryness (unnecessity?) of it. Yeah, I may bond with animals pretty easily, but I “let go” pretty easily too. They are, in fact, just animals. (I love my two cats dearly, but they’re just animals too.) Our next-door neighbor has had three inside-outside cats over the 18 months we’ve lived next to her. And two of those three cats have been bit by cars, and both died as a result. I really liked both of those cats (and I’m definitely a “cat” person), but I also realized that we live on a street with some degree of traffic, and shit like that happens. (That’s why both of our cats are inside-only kitties. And our neighbor shouldn’t be too surprised when something like this happens. Get a clue!!) I frequently used to pick up and/or pet both of those cats (that are no longer with us), and would call to them whenever I saw them in the yard. But that’s the way it goes, unfortunately. Anyway, my point is that I’d be mad too, just like you Joe – NOT because I’d be so deeply upset at the loss of an animal that I had bonded with a bit (and probably felt some ownership of, to some extent), but rather I’d be upset because the killing wasn’t at all appropriate in your area, or sanctioned by the laws of your community. I’m not wildly against hunting (though I would NEVER do it myself), but what would really get me about your situation, Joe, is that it shouldn’t have happened in the first place. That buck should be alive and enjoying life today. He was in an area that should have given him some greater chance of survival (at least against hunters), and yet some hunter decided that those laws didn’t apply to him. Yeah, I’d be pissed too.

I'm certainly nonplussed, but to say anything more would just fan the flames. Or in other words...
