--- Quote from: Welu on 21 Jun 2012, 12:57 ---Considering how long we go between seeing characters like Wil, Steve, Cossette or Raven considering their roles such as working at CoD or being Marten's best male friend, I think it's reasonable that we'll see him again.

Who is Cossette? Is she an acquaintance of Martin's?
Sorry for going smartass, but this misspelling has been grinding on my nerves for too long! Stop it. STOP IT!

Actually, Marten is a correct spelling of the name, assuming that is what you are referring to. As long as the letters in the name are phonetically correct, then the name itself is spelled correct. That would be like telling me that I spell my name, "Collin," wrong, just because spelling it "Colin" is more common. Based on English standards, the way I spell should be phonetically correct, but actually both are the correct spelling.

What is a "cassette?"
St.Clair:
An obsolete method of storing music or other information in analog form, via magnetically-aligned grains affixed to small reels of plastic tape, which are enclosed in a small case of rigid plastic for added durability and ease of handling.
[I've been reflecting for a while, as someone who grew up with vinyl and cassettes, and saw the rise of the CD, that I will almost certainly not ever see another form of physical media dedicated to music. It's all just data now.)
Is it cold in here?:

Yes. She works with Fay and Hannelore at the coffee shop.

Time to beat a dead horse - I was out of town working for a week, and finally caught up. Bear with me;
Re: bad old days.
The curent moderation scheme grew out of the breakup. There were several of us alzheimers old-timers who were always attempting to contribute a level of civility, even to the point of engaging proto-trolls and (gasp!) trying to reason with them. Occasionally, it worked. When it didn't, they weren't fed anymore, and as is often the case with such, when they didn't get the reaction they wanted, they just sort of petere out. Even with the crazies, it was still a relatively calm inlet in the stormy sea of internet forums.
Then all hell broke loose. It really was a perfect storm. All the new people who'd never lurked, and had no sense of the place, all the trolls who had been lurking, but hadn't been fed in ages, all of them being hit at once with the finest breakup fodder you could imagine.
Someone (yeah, it was me, but I'm sure others had the same idea) suggested pulling some moderators from among the ranks of our own level-headed crew members after the debacle subsided, as a "self-policing" force.
It has worked quite well!
