[Barend Onneweer] “…the Cow News Droid has been posting in Ron’s name and replacing the original Cow leaders with robots that know everything and are always awake, unlike these weak lame first generation leaders that don’t know everything and sleep all the time. Yep… I’ve got it all figured out. Now the wait is for my membership to be deleted and my mugshot to be taken off the Cow…”

Hi Barend,

As the evil Cow News Droid — muu, (or is that ‘mooooo’), ahhh, hhhaaaa, hhhaaaa!!!! — I have deleted Ron but have kept Kathlyn. She is required to feed me, she pays the electric bill and so I kept her. I never could figure out what Ron was doing and so I have replaced him.

But all kidding aside, over time, the original team either asked to be removed (as did Philip Hodgetts) or they moved on to other fields due to not being able to make a living any longer in this industry (that happened to a couple) or they got so busy in their businesses that they no longer had time to contribute here. So Kathlyn and I looked at the ones who were contributing to the AE forum and we invited some of them to join the AE forum team. (We’ve talked about having 10 leaders on this forum in the days ahead as there are a couple more who have been great contributors to this forum.)

There’s no way you are getting out of here, Barend, Kathlyn and I are hoping you and Ingrid have twins so that one can be named Ron and the other named Cowdog — er, um, I mean Kathlyn, yeah, Kathlyn. ;o)

And since Roland already changed his son’s name to Cowdog, he’s in for life also. ;o)

And yes, I knew you were kidding. Let Jurrie know I just went and saw Robert Fripp and Porcupine Tree. They were great.

Best always,

Ron (but you can call me “News Droid”) Lindeboom

[Creig Bryan] “I’d still like to read other’s responses to this news, but, alas, every time I check, only the initial news post is displayed. How can I view other’s comments?”

Well, it’s because nobody in this paricular forum has responded — until you did. ;o)

[Creig Bryan] “Or, if not, then can the sysop please remove the counter that let’s everyone see how many have responded. “

There’s nothing keeping people from posting or seeing what others say, unless they are saying nothing and there’s nothing to see.

Peace out,

The Droid
