One of my Facebook friends just posted this on Facebook, and I'm re-posting it here ...

Dear Djarum300, REVerse and Greg T: I'm in general agreement with the contents of your recent posts in this thread.

Our "Long Gone" friend Chet may have been taking active part in a No Kings protest somewhere over the weekend. I'm sure he would have some "nice" things to say about Trump! chet

Dear Greg T: Did you actually make contact with them, or did you just attempt to do so?

HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Herb Alpert, born 91 years ago today (March 31) in Los Angeles. He was playing trumpet by age 8, and the famed bandleader-producer-singer charted 19 Billboard Top 40 hits, including this one ("This Guy's In Love With You") as a solo artist, which went to No. 1 in 1968 ...

Dear Greg T: You can even go so far as to say AW PROMISES he won't make any posts that would even resemble "personal attacks" (or whatever they complained about, regarding me, in the first place).

Well, at least we don't have toolguru (a k a Long Gone Daddy) around!

... and at least, in some instances, it causes them to escape from internet forums! (Come back WAMO and sevenpin63, et al, all is forgiven)

Back to "The Final Four" anyway!

You can say that again.

Dear Djarum300: Great to see you back. Looking forward to your posts, most of which I agree with.

Dear Greg T: The link now gives me the wrong image, although it was correct right after I posted it. Anyway, more than half of the front page Thursday featured information on today's (Marxch 28) "No Kings" protest. And that's ridiculous because I live in one of the most-ardent GOP districts in...

Take a look at yesterday's front page of the Sarasota Herald-Tribune and its coverage of a local "No Kings" protest rally ...

Dear Greg: So even though it may indicate a dozen or more views on our posts, they are all (or mostly) bots?

The "Final Two" tag may actually be reality. Djarum300 hasn't even "lurked" in the forum since last Friday, and he hasn't posted in 13 days. And REVerse hasn't posted anything since St. Patrick's Day. Doesn't look promising at all, does it? But actually, as I type this, there are about two...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Diana Ross, born Diane Earnestine Earle Ross in Detroit 82 years ago today (March 26). She was lead singer of The Supremes, who charted 25 Billboard Top 40 hits, and she added 27 more as a solo artist, beginning in 1969. Here, The Supremes perform their last song together, and...
