Reading that thread makes me think of something I’m often surprised about on this board: how posters who are otherwise so accomplished can be such novices to the mores of posting online regularly.
The numerical soup from pre-login days was a real chore to read. Names help because you have gut associations with them.
What, pray tell, is the Wall Street Sauna? I can hazard a guess . . . Will I be happy at the end? . . . Hmmm, I should stop at Blue Diamond on my way home . . .
I have to say this is the single most unproductive day I’ve had since starting this job. I have no urgent deadlines today. I’m getting over being sick. I’m on one of my alternate desks. And it’s a Monday. Can’t wait til this day is over.
Corner pieces are the absolute best!!
Haven’t there been more than 2 UHauls? I remember being at one but it wasn’t the first & it wasn’t the protest one.
Brooklyn Heights is really great at Halloween too. Lots of decorations and I doubt there’s a more popular/busy street in all of Brooklyn than Garden Place. Literally thousands of kids pass through there.

CGar…i think the Wall Street Sauna is still open!!!!
“We should just probably officially grant you the title of PLUSA Librarian/Archivist/Keeper of the posts. ; )”
cobble, you can only give me more work if you give me more money. A title alone isn’t going to cut it.

There are 2 people I recognize in that thread with a moral certainty, but I’m not saying who or why.
And don’t even get me STARTED on Bold Type Guest!!! 😉
Tomorrow I’ll post the thread from a couple of months later, when Mr. B finally mandated registration.
I just don’t get the resistance, and it’s pretty funny to see Mr. B trying to explain to people that they can still hide beyond log in names.
It’s just so much nicer – and easier – to curse out people by name. I mean, I’d much rather say, “STFU jackal” than “STFU 11:32 #2”.

Benson, my apologies, you are correct.
