thaskalos?
He hasn’t posted in quite awhile. Does anyone know what’s going on. Is he OK?

the level of toxicity is user controlled by which posts you select to see

For the record, I have no actual idea why he stopped posting. I was only guessing.
I hope everything is ok with him and his family.

Even though I don't agree with his political beliefs, I thought he was a decent guy that argued most of his points like an adult. Hope all is well with him.

I stop by once in a while just to let everyone know I'm still alive. I was surprised not to see religion. If it has been banned, Praise the Lord.
Anybody win cash in the NHC tournament last year?
It's big. It's something other than a murder mystery, a biography, or a political novel. It's a short, easy to read novel about life on both sides of the track. And it's selling. I signed about 40 books in Tucson, I'll sign a few more in LA. Two new books nearing completion. and hopefully on the shelves at the end of the year.

And speaking about missing posters, I heard an email from an Ocsla Mike on TVG today. Wonder if it's our OM?

Nope it hasn't. I'll pray for you though.

It's a loss. I show up every two-four months to let people know I'm alive. But I am less stressed without pace advantage. People didn't like to hear what I had to offer. No sense beating your head against the wall.

Are you no longer interested in racing?
You act as if PA is some politically-rooted website...see this is what I have never understood and will never understand...there are 16 sub-forums on this website...only ONE allows politics or religion.
1 out of 16
6.25% of this message board

I even made it VERY SIMPLE, years ago, to COMPLETELY IGNORE OFF-TOPIC

What does it matter? It can be ignored if one chooses.
You can easily figure the percentage yourself.
But to make it easy, 28% of posts are in off-topic-general (the only place politics and religion are allowed)
I bet you thought it was more.
