  Hmmmmm...The real me. That's an interesting phrase and it prompted a few philosophical questions so out of curiosity I'm gonna ask.

  Is "The real me" ever set in stone or does it always evolve? If you had described "the real me" at the height of your being a JW how different would the picture be from "the real me" of today?

  How does one define "real"?

  Do you feel threatened by....

  do people here feel threatened by bold posts?

  i ask this because it would seem that everyone on this board has an axe to grind, and any "bold" posts that disagree with the majority are ignored.

  i have found that most of the posts i made ended threads.

  Yeah, they are kinda hard to ignore being so prominent and all.

  I saw the Furman St building in the Thomas Crown Affair (Bornson/Russo). Also saw it in an episode of NYPD Blue once

  Come to think of it I've seen it in quite a few Brooklyn Cop movies too...

  Awww...don't take it personally Greenslevees. I've ended a few threads in my time too but most of my posts just get ignored. That doesn't stop me from posting though. It's like Gopher said, some threads catch fire, others don't. I read way more threads than I post to because most either don't capture my interest or I really can't add anything to the discussion or contribute a witty comment so I just leave it.
