Is there anyone here but me from the original Herald Bulletin forum?  The one that existed in two software forms prior to being brought into CNHI's Hey Martha forum?

Nope, I first started with the hey martha forum. About 2004 or there abouts.

Yep, I was.
Arguing with Christians is like playing chess with a pigeon.  No matter how good I am at chess, the pigeon is just going to knock over the pieces, shit on the board and strut around like it's victorious.

The truth is slow, but relentless. Over time it becomes irresistible.

Thanks Hank and Ex.

I was trying to remember just who recalls that old place and the crap that used to go on there.

Ex, do you remember the funky software allowing people to catbird someone else's screen name? 

BTW, do you recall when you started on that old HB forum?  IIRC, I came aboard just as it was starting up way back about 2000.  I don't think there were but a half dozen or so folks there at first.  Baylor was one IIRC, but then he may have been working at the HB at the time and not an attorney yet.

Do you remember how many folks were there when you arrived, PH?

IIRC, we originally came across each other on the Indy Star forum and then the Muncie Star-Press forum.

You, Baylor, Hank, and a couple of weird ones; some tin foil something or another, and the soothsayer character. . .

In fact, as I recall you were the one that clued me into the fact the HB had a forum too. I recall it being primitive when compared to Indystar and Muncie star.

Later, nearer to the end, was when Daisy and "it" came along. IIRC. . . And Brown Eyed Girl too.

There are a few names that I still remember such as Uncle Sammy, AWOL, Brat, Thinker, Cornholio, Zimmy, Daisy, Buckwheat and Class 68.  I know some of them has moved on to facebook, but some of these guys I wonder about sometimes.

I was on the HB forum at the end. I only remember a couple names, Kent was one. I came over here when that one closed, about six or seven years ago?
