Loote, my buddy olde pal (who is not me ) - I am with you about politics although every now and then I open my mouth on the subject. This forum, lovely as it is, is by nature not meant for a serious discussion of politics in my humble opinion. Every now and then it is good to see a sensible comment - even if it is something I don't agree with - but in the absence of rules and moderation, discussions about politics inevitably turn out to be a shouting match and complete waste of time. That's what I have seen in a lot of cases. Hence, I am in the same boat as you - no politics whenever I can avoid it Hey, btw, what happened to Sajhauser? Remember her? (from your revolutionary days? ). Cleo - You thought Loote and I were the same too? LOL!! I guess it is easy to make those assumptions sometimes. I have made quite a few of them myself - some cases I have been proved right - and this was pretty recent - and in some cases, dead wrong As for the weekend, yeah, I kinda like to stay away from Sajha just coz that enables me to do other things with my life. I guess it also helps to break the "addiction" a little bit SNDY - What did you think of Guru? And please dont retire from Sajha without warning, ok? Maybe we should create a Yahoo group or something called "Sajha Nautankis" - just so that people can stay in touch if they want. The thought of retirement has crossed my mind but the thought of all the folks on this thread keeps brining me back. I think if this thread were to die, it would provide the escape hatch for folks contemplating retirement, no? Daat Saab - I think Loote and I need to post a picture of our teeth here - maybe you will finally beleive us then Hi Nanu - So you too a daat-saab or almost daat-saab? I saw your post on Bus Analysts the other day so maybe not? Thanks for sharing about your family - it's always nice to hear such things :)
