What's also scary is how many other members should be on there.

Example, Nobody knows me. My wife wouldn't bother posting on here. If I fell over dead , nobody here would know, and being a newer member, I would be surprised if more than a couple cared. Not saying you guys are cold hearted just that I'm new.

I wonder how many other members, regular or transients, would be on this list.

That's not entirely true.

You see, part of the complex code built into this forum software by my golfing buddies from NASA includes a custom "HAL-matrix". All members here are scaled by their contributions to the intellectual discussions--the content of their posts and comments builds their HAL score within the system. Once you have made enough witty, helpful, funny (Cat thread posts actually subtract from the total, I think), or insightful posts, your HAL score reaches a certain threshold. From that point on the program's IdM system hooks up with your school records, job status, phone accounts, doctor's records, and FBI files if you happen to live in the UK (not sure why about that last bit). (No, we don't bother with your bank accounts, none of you have any real money anyway ). The SUBSIM system actually knows how you are, if you're alive or not, if you are naughty or nice (on license from You-know-who).

If a beer truck hits you, or you keel over dead from too much fatty foods, we know it. Flowers are sent to your next of kin.

Wow, in the last few months we've seen Steed, Avon Lady, Drebbel, Sharky, and now Torplexed visit, this is going to be a great year

Between ground hogs day and Saint Patty's day they come out of wherever they have been hiding,
see their shadow, get drunk and then they slip silently away ...

Starting to realize that one cannot go back to the way things were ...

All we can do is be as nice as we can be to each other today knowing that what
happened yesterday does not always work out the same for tomorrow.

"Don't look back, don't look forward, don't live yesterday for tomorrow"

With your super-duper "HAL-matrix", couldn't you just warn me about the truck instead?

Can't get a licensing agreement with God to reveal the future, sorry.
