No, but even on this side of the pond it's on all our minds. I came to visit ground zero when it was a building site about a decade ago. I was active on JWD at the time of 9/11, did a quick search of the site for content on the day it occurred but couldn't find much with the basic search that we have.

slimboyfat : It wasn't your post that bothered me but one that was deleted which, without explanation, listed Englishman.
Diogenesister : this database isn't kept "as a whole", I am visiting for the first time in many years and huge swathes of my posts are gone, so really nothing does last forever. On another note, when the JWs are gone completely in the future, they will be a mere footnote in a future Wikipedia when every database in the world sits on your finger tip.

About 20 years ago there was a perpetual thread going called "vincent goes underground", apparently it was about a forum member who died or committed suicide. I may have this wrong, but that was what I recall of it. Does anyone else remember that?

Thank you, in a thread about "who is dead", I had to give someone a -1 for the first time ever.

The offender just gone off on a "fling", I've seen it before. They did not work at the relationship, they probably won't work on their next one either. Short-term fancy over long term stability. Both men and women get sucked up into affairs like this. Seen a work colleague completely breakdown when it happened to him, left standing bemused / confused.

I didn't listen to the whole thing but what it sounds like he's doing is giving you the statistics of finding a particular word but not stating how that compares to the statistics of finding arbitrary words. There is a standard comic called Dave Gorman (I believe it was) who showed how people in the UK had found ancient "lay lines" by linking up certain stone monuments or artefacts but then went on to show that UK supermarket Lidl or Aldi stores were also apparently built all lined up with one another and although it was a comic act, you couldn't argue with it.

Racism and sexism is on the decline but classism is still here and Meghan was marrying into the biggest "I'm better than you" club in the world... Royalty. I have personally been the victim of classism when I was ousted from my seat in a Bournemouth theatre by a footman who promised me a compensatory drink for moving which then didn't materialize and I heard the snooty nosed Conservative party councilor mutter "oh thank goodness, what were they doing here" like we were scum sat in the front row. Now it would be nice if Meghan could have expected to move into a non racist "firm" but I tell you it would be like moving into a cow shed and expecting not to get poop on your outfit.
