JScott and I were moderators at the very successful www.wolfeboroonline.com forum. Members had a great time there, even posting photographs of ourselves as children—with Wolfeboro and Winnipesaukee as backgrounds.

That forum collapsed because of a failed automobile tune-up, which had the garage owner walk across the street to effectively demand the forum itself be shut down. I totally missed its revitalization three years ago, but the forum never had a chance and now has disappeared.

As moderators, our instructions were to delete any offensive posts. Distracted by "kids" posting their usual nonsense, we both missed that eventuality because member Granma had an "articulable" gripe at the garage.

• I don't know why JScott was picked as a moderator but he is a former IT guy. The three builders of that site picked me because I
"...was chatty...".


• Certainly, if a meterorite landed in Lake Winnipesaukee, caused a local biological event , was found to have alien life-forms , and described as the "most important Cosmological event in 500 years" , one could post it here. However, it landed on the other side of the globe—and was today posted at a Wolfeboro forum.

(Where we—the computer-bound—could read all about it... )

• A self-managed forum—written by Don to vBulletin® Version 3.8.7 "language"—but managed by, say, member Rusty, could draw some of the rancor away...from, say, the Restaurant Information & Reviews forum .

• Not to mention...today's affronts to the "Live Free or Die" state—or to the U.S. Constitution
