    Then, can we just get chickens, and tell them they're turkeys?

    One per purchase? That means the rising would have to go back and forth 20 times and spend 500 bucks.

    Too bad there wasn'ta turkey wholesaler.

    If this was the one meal you looked forward to for a whole year, because the food and people being nice and all. Wouldn't you be a little more than disappointed? You wouldn't say anything because it is a beautiful gift by some very selfless kind people, but the disappointment would still be there.

    I was thinking about making a few forums that were by request only.

    Lets say we start a forum called waterfront developement. Only those that have shown some intelligence on the matter could post by invite only. Anyone could read the posts but you could not post unless you were invited in to participate. This way if a dozen people really wanted to focus on an issue they could.

    Well, I would get the golden key to all the forums then I suppose.

I don't like the idea of starting to mess with censoring them-- no matter how ridiculous discussions can often get on here.

    I agree with this. If people are really bothered by people they should use the ignore option. If the person in question shows up in a quote, don't read the quote....


    The beauty and curse of the Internet is-- for the most part-- participants get to remain as anonymous as possible.
    Also, it's hard to prove who would be who-- and we could easily have an attack of the clones. There could be 5 or 6 Byron Browns and Chris Collins a day.

    Oh yes.... its is crazy with abuse of personal information....

    There is discussion board software that allows peers to review each other or award points for good posts...

    just a thought...

    I propose that personal criticism of another only occur by honestly named posters in order to promote greater responsiblity for the rights & feelings of others . . and more responsible "freedom of speech".

    And, there no doubt needs to be an "IDIOTS ANONYMOUS" category for anybody stuck in adolescence to mock out everything in sight which gives them pleasure . . all in complete anonymity . . (to protect the guilty?).
    I agree, dammit! And if you people keep that kind of juvenile nonsense up, I'm moving to Minnesota!!!

    To what point?
    It ends up being a popularity contest. Some people actually rep each other just to get their numbers up. Then it becomes a contest as to who has the most rep points.

    Richard Kern, MSW
    So what does MSW stand for anyway?

    I Googled it, and got this:

    MSW
    From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


    MSW is an acronym that may stand for any of the following:

    * Magnetic Sensing Waves Inc. (an instrumentation company)
    * Master of Social Work (a Master's Degree in Social Work)
    * Meters Sea Water in Diving.
    * in academia and as a title, Master of Social Work
    * Mammal Species of the World, a publication of recognised mammal species.
    * Municipal solid waste
    * Murder, She Wrote, a popular TV crime series starring Angela Lansbury.
    * a sub-discipline of social work, medical social work
    * in computing:
    o Microsoft Windows (where the acronym is pronounced /mεswʊ/ or /mʌswʊ/)
    o Machine Status Word on 286 processors (on 386 processors it is simply the low 16-bit of CR0 for backward compatibility)
    * in particle physics, the Mikheyev-Smirnov-Wolfenstein effect
    * in recovery, "Marin Services for Women"
    * the Massawa International Airport in Massawa, Eritrea.
