Hard to start a discussion ...

Not a problem for me. I start a discussion or ask a question and usually get some really good input. I really dont think you should try to develop one of these forever topics that generate thousands of responses cause the long threads usually have nothing to do with their original topc after about 5 pages.

I base my few discussions and questions on what I think or want to know. They tell me what they think. Sometimes, anyway.

Post about what interests you. Of the thousands of members, there are likely some who will at the least read it. The thing is, you cannot make omelets without first acquiring the eggs.

Nah, it ain't hard at all . . . first ya come in and make wild, unsubstantiated allegations of corruption and venality against "_________" (insert the name of any well-known politician). Then throw out a few choice sneers at, say, the Chicago Cubs.

Finish that off with contemptuous remarks about Fords and rant about all gay boys are goin' to hell . . . and you'll be in business! You'll have a barn burner on your hands ! ! !

Really? I had no idea that was how it was done!

Man, and I've been here how many years?
