What is up with people practically copying verbatim some of these thread titles to paradox?   :zipped:

I don't think I've been to the Paradox forum in well over two years.

I'm curious: once you make shavetail will this kind of exchange with Tonto be considered unacceptable fraternization?

RIP Walt.

Unless I am forgetting something, which is possible I have been drinking quite a bit lately, I have never copied someone else's threads from one place to another.  There have been times were I have found a topic I though was interesting, and had the potential to go in multiple directions, and posted it on both forums.  When I do that I write it once and then copy/paste it to the other.  Actually sometimes a third or fourth, but there isn't any overlap, as there is between here and P'dox.

Cronkite was a bit before my time.  I knew who he was but was 11 when he quit the Evening News, I didn't really care about the news at that point.

Anyhoo RIP.

Dude was even an institution here.

RIP.

I guess your honesty was the liberal media bias.
