Allot of us find that some moderators think they are in a Wild West Duel. "I'm the fasted thread-closer of all time" - Geo Billy the kid You guys are going to kill Geocaching ! Link to comment
breck_hiker Posted December 19, 2003 Author Share Posted December 19, 2003 Why was it closed ? Link to comment
+El Diablo Posted December 19, 2003 Share Posted December 19, 2003 Why was it closed ? The author of the thread closed it...not the moderators. El Diablo Link to comment
breck_hiker Posted December 19, 2003 Author Share Posted December 19, 2003 Oh ! thank god I was starting to get pissed Link to comment
+briansnat Posted December 19, 2003 Share Posted December 19, 2003 I closed it. Sorry, I thought that was clear in my last post. Link to comment
+The Leprechauns Posted December 19, 2003 Share Posted December 19, 2003 The fact that the thread continued for three days and four pages before the topic creator decided it had run its course speaks volumes in response to your assertion that moderators are quick on the draw. Was your little girl starting to get pissed too, or was it just you? Link to comment
+Sparky-Watts Posted December 19, 2003 Share Posted December 19, 2003 So, what does your foot taste like? j/k Link to comment
BassoonPilot Posted December 19, 2003 Share Posted December 19, 2003 (edited) It would be ever so appropriate if the forum moderator allowed the thread initiator to close this thread after having seen "the error of his way." Edited December 19, 2003 by BassoonPilot Link to comment
+briansnat Posted December 19, 2003 Share Posted December 19, 2003 The fact that the thread continued for three days and four pages before the topic creator decided it had run its course speaks volumes in response to your assertion that moderators are quick on the draw. They have been in the past, so I can see why Breck Hiker assumed the worst. Again, I'm sorry I wasn't more clear that it was me who closed it. I think that because another post snuck in just after mine may have made that a bit less clear. Link to comment
+Sparky-Watts Posted December 19, 2003 Share Posted December 19, 2003 I think that because another post snuck in just after mine may have made that a bit less clear. Ooops........wonder who that was? Link to comment
+Renegade Knight Posted December 19, 2003 Share Posted December 19, 2003 There is always another angle. The odds of it being a good one though diminish quickly. Link to comment
+RobertM Posted December 19, 2003 Share Posted December 19, 2003 (edited) Was your little girl starting to get pissed too, or was it just you? For someone who cries to the Mods when they get it you sure now how to dish it out, eh? Edited December 19, 2003 by RobertM Link to comment
+mtn-man Posted December 19, 2003 Share Posted December 19, 2003 I think the question for the topic was answered and further discussion will not be very productive. breck_hiker, as the topic starter, would you like the honor of closing this topic? Link to comment
+Doc-Dean Posted December 19, 2003 Share Posted December 19, 2003 I closed it. Sorry, I thought that was clear in my last post. Trying to play mod again??? Link to comment
+Doc-Dean Posted December 19, 2003 Share Posted December 19, 2003 I think that because another post snuck in just after mine may have made that a bit less clear. Ooops........wonder who that was? LOL... big surprise!!! Link to comment
breck_hiker Posted December 19, 2003 Author Share Posted December 19, 2003 why close it? they are still posting Link to comment
+Team GPSaxophone Posted December 19, 2003 Share Posted December 19, 2003 why close it? they are still posting Exactly. When the topic has run its course, it will fall off of the first page of posts. As long as no one is attacking anyone else, why close it? Personally, I feel that the thread closer should be required to post a comment when closing the thread. That way everyone knows why (specific reasons) the thread is being closed. (and you thought this topic had run its course...) Link to comment

+mtn-man Posted December 19, 2003 Share Posted December 19, 2003 The absurdity of it all I guess I figured breck_hiker might want to see what it was like to close a topic. When I close a topic I do post a note as to why and then I close it. Hopefully this one will fall off of the page very soon. If I had put my foot in my mouth I would want it closed so it would drop away as soon as possible. Link to comment
Radman Forever Posted December 19, 2003 Share Posted December 19, 2003 I love all of these. The frogs are so cute and the smiley faces really rock! I wish I had more to express all the feelings that I show every once in a while!! Link to comment
+Johnnie Stalkers Posted December 19, 2003 Share Posted December 19, 2003 Oh, the humanity, someone just let it die! Maybe if we got off topic...hmmmmm. I just realized I have nothing to say. Thats hardly ever been the case before. Link to comment

+Johnnie Stalkers Posted December 19, 2003 Share Posted December 19, 2003 Anyone seen the new Lord of the Rings movie yet? Supposed to be pretty good. We finally saw Seabiscuit, that was good. Anyone seen any good movies lately? Books? Caches? How 'bout those Bengals? Link to comment
bug and snake Posted December 19, 2003 Share Posted December 19, 2003 Nice idea JS..... I wish there was a smilie for 'I am biting my tongue and saying nothing' that I could post when I am doing just that..... Link to comment
bug and snake Posted December 19, 2003 Share Posted December 19, 2003 I would love to see the new LOTR movie but I am going off to the Gulf tomorrow so it will have to wait till I get back. BAH! Link to comment
+Sparky-Watts Posted December 19, 2003 Share Posted December 19, 2003 I watched "Catch Me if you Can" the other night....gave me an idea for a cache, but I'm sure it's already been done (to death). Just got my copy of "Miracle on 34th Street" on DVD.....gonna watch it with Sunshine (Mrs. Watts) on Christmas Eve. Also got a really interesting series from A&E called "The Men Who Killed Kennedy". Man, that's got some good stuff in it! Link to comment
+Johnnie Stalkers Posted December 19, 2003 Share Posted December 19, 2003 You know msn messenger lets you design your own emoticons. Can you imagine the chaos that would ensue if we could make our own here? If this thread where a horse I'd shoot it. Wheres J5 when ya need him. Link to comment

+CO Admin Posted December 19, 2003 Share Posted December 19, 2003 Nice try, but if I close this thread then he can start another one about how the mean evil moderator closed his thread. Instead, just stop posting to it and it will die Geo Billy the kid Link to comment
+Johnnie Stalkers Posted December 19, 2003 Share Posted December 19, 2003 Gawd, I hate shopping for shoes, don't you? Shopping for shoes? I own: 1 pair of sneakers. 1 pair of dress shoes. 1 pair of hiking boots. 1 pair of sandles. When one of those wears out I go buy THE SAME PAIR again. Life is good. So who is gonna get to be the FINAL POSTER?...Before keystone that is. Link to comment
+Sparky-Watts Posted December 19, 2003 Share Posted December 19, 2003 Right the first time Sparkers..... NOT GOM..... Oh well, needs must! Oh, dear....well be careful! I hear there are a few "legit" caches over there (not wanting to get into the "Spider Hole" discussion again), so maybe you can get some logged. BTW, I think your leatherman tool will be ok on the plane if you stuff it down the barrell of your M-16....or bazooka....or whatever it is you soldiers carry nowadays. Link to comment
