Thanks Grasstains, I'll have to check that one out. Also appreciated the clarification on Earl, now I will have to switch songs midstride and dig up some Dixie Chicks.

My dads uncle came home from Germany in WWII after being a p.o.w. and he never ate spam or hamburger ever again. I was always fascinated with any story regarding him that I could get from my grandma. It was only recently that I found out some of the true horrors of war that he endured over there. I read all of his letters home while there and not one word of complaint or gripe to his family. The letters just contained generalities, I guess to spare the family any grief.

Such is the situation here:

No moderator!

A couple people at Harper-Collins, overloaded with a myriad of things to do...one of them is pulling all the threads from the old Bradbury garment, to weave it all into this new Bradbury garment... do not think of themselves moderators. That is, however, what we got.

Hopefully, once the old Bradbury board arrives from the drycleaners, Dandelion can once again (hopefully) take the helm of "Master Moderator".

I say this is clever spam !

leahn,
Links? What links? I done see no stinkin’ links. Talk away or lurk about—whatever is your whim. As captain Quieg said in “The Cain Mutiny”, “Ask specific questions and I will give specific answers.”

Just don't try to steal no strawberries!

Once again leahn, welcome! and post away!

It's quite clear to me that leahn has nothing to say, nor to ask, else he or she would have said it or asked it by now.

leahn is a spammer, and posts only to promote those links.

I suggest we all abandon this thread and leave those links to die through lack of exposure.

Good one Spaulding.

philnic,
Lets at least let them keep the silver candlesticks.

You want I should take out the links, or just ignore them?

Nefertiti! Yes. I want you should remove them. If leahn is sincere than it shouldn’t matter and if not, then leahn will avoid some searing verbiage.

Take them out!

Ha! I love the little literary references from Chap and Doug! From Alfonso Bedoya to Jean Valjean? By the way, Bogey, I believe, found the role of Queeg one of the most challenging and rewarding of his career.

I vote to just remove marketing and promotional links. My only exception would be like when Sam Weller gave out the link to his site--which dealt with his book and book tours and Bradbury lectures and joint appearances. Something like that.

I think I understand completely what is happening hear. Benefit of the doubt is out of the question now and I hope that this type of thing can be brought under control so that the entire board doesn’t become infected.

A quick anecdote on Bogie and Captain Queeg. According to Joe Hyams, Bogie’s biographer, Bogie disliked Jack Warner (the head of Warner Bros.)—he thought he was nuts and the character of Queeg reminded him of Warner. There were certain mannerisms that Warner demonstrated that annoyed Bogart, so, in playing the character of Queeg and thinking of Warner, Bogie thought up the idea of the ball bearings he could manipulate absentmindedly in his hand. Now Bogie had a boat called the Santana that he loved dearly and he would take friends on trips. One of them was Frank Sinatra. Sinatra, knowing how Bogie felt about Warner had thousands of ball bearings hidden in the ships overhead (the ceiling to you land lubbers) so that when the ship moved at all they would make a racket. Bogie didn’t see the humor so he cleaned Sinatra’s clock. Anyway, that’s basically the way Hyams tells it.
