There are a startling amount of posts that make wild assertions. These posts are then conclusively debunked, but the one who made the assertion hardly responds or never responds in that thread. You just see that name doing similar disservice to other threads. It is the internet, so I guess we shouldn't expect accountability, nor respect.
It seems to me they are like my Spaniel - they like to Drop a Turd and Walk Away.

Who can keep track of those people or the people who follow along and KNR these predictions of the future.
A lot of what we talk about is "worry" about things that might happen. Things that we are afraid are gonna happen. Many of those things never do happen, and sometimes worse things happen that most of us did not see coming. If only those time travelers would send us more information about the future.

(1,061 posts)It bugs me when there are 50 responses, yet none from the writer of the OP.
You can call it Hit & Run, I'm now calling them Spaniels.
