Let us not forget the Confluences humble beginnings with Paul Boyer making a visit to Jeff Rath, and me shoehorning my way in there...my, how that little baby has grown! Image

FYI - a recent post from JH on the original subject of this thread...

Did everyone just lose interest in this topic, or did everyone else get the memo on what it is?

It is what it is. Thank God the topic (almost) Petered out.

Gaaaaahh!!! We're a bunch of loser quiters! :D

It will be interesting to come back from the 75th and re-read this and the RIC forum's thread on all the speculation and see where we were on or close.

It's wandered back and forth. The current exhausted silence is pleasant.

Besides,telling you or even showing a photo wouldn't do the color justice,which pretty much is true with any Rick color for that matter..It's one of those "you gotta see it in person" things..Plus,surprises are fun,right?

Eric,

That depends on WHO is doing the "surprising" and WHO is getting the surprise! Image

Tony - that reminds me of something I once heard a comedian say:

The most ticklish people in the world are those you run up to on a street that don't know you.
