RE: Question for Panther O/Os who booked there own Not so long ago, there was a thread started by a Panther driver on a load that got tangled up in the things you are asking about. I don't recall the driver's name or thread title. His post speaks directly to the questions you ask. Perhaps...

As I read your posts, kellmellus, I wonder if home means more to you than you are letting on. You gave four reasons for getting home (1) you don't like to sit, (2) runs are better there, 3) it keeps your wife from spending money in department stores, and (4) food and lodging costs are less at...

Regarding my two suggestions, let me add this. The changes do not need to be made in one fell-swoop. In any number of ways, the new moderator practices can be announced ahead of time and introduced into the forums. The new ways can be eased into, not jolted into.

Greg, Your arguement hinges on the acceptance of words like "true forum" "ideals" and "effectiveness." You have your idea of what a "true forum" is, I have mine, and others have theirs. My suggestions can be easily implemented without getting to philosophical disussions about truth and ideals...

The fair tax enjoys support from some very smart and high-ranking business poeple. It also enjoys support from fome very smart and high-ranking elected officials. On it's face, the fair tax is an easily understood idea that provides numerous benefits, if implemented in its pure form. But...

Dreamer said, "If you want to see things change, be a part of that solution." OK. Challenge accepted. I offer two specific suggestions that I GUARANTEE will improve the quality of life and discourse for all forum members (expcept those who are into and actually enjoy the soap opera aspect that...
