I didn't say Calif Dude was thrown off by Todd.  I said Calif Dude PMed me, then emailed me, him saying that.

I don't know what actually happened.  Don't figure it's any of my business.  But I saw on a thread on the Discussion Forum that a lot of folks were speculating, wondering what had become of him.  I figure the nearest thing a person can get to truth's better than speculation, since a lot of people evidently were concerned.

I don't recall reading a lot of his posts, though ... [&nbsp;<a href="http://www.lotterypost.com/blogentry/10959">More</a>&nbsp;]]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[I posted a comment on justxploring's blog just to see if it was taking anything, and it posted. So I'm testing with this comment to see if mine's allowing any comment posts.

Aw, gee Jack!  And I thought it was because you liked me.  :-)  

Did I understand you correctly?  Are you saying a member (CalDude) was thrown off by Todd?  He was often outspoken about his beliefs and critical of others, but I never found him to be offensive at all.  Anyway, I like a little spice in my food - bland is...

      <description><![CDATA[Off the subject, but the Forum system won't allow me to post anything there, so I'll do it here for those of you who are speculating about what happened to CalDude.

Just after he left I got a PM from him through the ID of his daughter saying he'd had a blowout with the site-boss and can no longer post here.  Afterward he sent me a a couple of emails elaborating a bit, saying he couldn't get any response to his emails from the management.

I emailed him back telling him I was sorry to hear i... [&nbsp;<a href="http://www.lotterypost.com/blogentry/10959">More</a>&nbsp;]]]></description>

Yeah, it is.  I've shot it in there twice, seemed to hit the bullseye, but hasn't shown up on the blog list.  Likely as not it will show later twice for the price of one.  I'm scared to try again for fear of getting three for the price of one.

      <description><![CDATA[Aim higher, fxsterling.  The only way I'm going to get to vote for you is if you shoot for the big one.  The White House.  Leave the Mississippi Congressman and Senate seats for some haus frau, or a deck hand on a shrimp boat.

Thanks for the comment.

      <description><![CDATA[Strange stuff.  I had a couple of blog entries I composed while the site was down last evening.  Tried to post one of them, BANG... it accepted it, but it didn't show up.  Tried to post it again, Bang, accepted again, but it didn't show up.  Tried to post the other one, Bang, accepted it, but it didn't show up.

Makes me wonder whether the first one followed by the duplicate, then the second one will suddenly pop up later in the day when it's too late to delete the duplicate.
