    @RMP

    LOL. Prime and welcoming stuff. Who wouldn't want to stay on board after that?

    I hope it made him feel welcome. After that, he's supposed to think: "Jeez, I can't possibly be any more Meshugeh (nutty, crazy) than him. What have I got to lose?"

    Or maybe I'm just casting perelman before swans or even swains, the swine. But living in a Wodehouse, I should throw stones?

    Anyway, it means "A pee without a fart, is like a wedding without a band!"

    But what the hell happened to Be-bop-O? Yes, he probably used more space than was truly considerate, but why wasn't a compromise worked out? Did something happen?

    And is Be-Bop being deleted, or did he just get scared off? Last I remember, Glenn was asking him to post somewhat less.

    Than I got pretty busy, and only read Glenn's articles, and threw in a word just so nobody would get ideas about "he's gone, thank god". Than I got the flu, a few days ago, and the Gaza assault started, and I got caught up in the commenting for a while.

    Gosh, I would hate to think that Be-Bop ended up getting himself banned because he needed a pen-pal, and didn't handle it right. Considering his situation, that's pretty harsh.

    People with limited mobility (that's him, right?) can become very attached to the Internet. At this point, if, Got zol ophiten!, I became disabled, I bet I would end up pretty dependent on the Internet.

    Hadn't he been posting for years here? This is too bad.
