    Well that's certainly the clinching argument.
    Oh. Please. You've carved out a single word to try to characterize the poster in a negative light. In context with the rest of that post, it's a reasonable statement.

    Now then, I must be off doing the work of The Seven! Will return later with popcorn.

    Oh gosh no. Just an out-of-character level of debate.

    The visitor numbers to my profile haven't changed since this ridiculous discussion started. I get no accidental visits, I get no stalkers. This is blatant FPGeek discrimination against weevils; you're all speciesists, with your opposable thumbs and inferior number of legs!

    Maybe there is another weevil and visitors are simply choosing the lesser or greater of two?

    Apologies the content is bleak,
    Not worth it to seek,
    But now my faux fit of pique,
    I shall not need to repeat.

    I do that ALL the time. Even with my little teeny fingers.
    Ditto for me. You all must have assumed by now that I'm a rabid stalker.

    Oh. And I invite potential pen pals to my profile so they know a bit about me before writing for the first time. As of today, I've been visited, fat-fingered, or stalked 13,048 times during my sojourn here.
    Aww, only 3,716 visits for me. You've got a few more now.

    The honest truth? I'm not certain if I've ever looked at that page. Very occasionally I'll get a notification that someone wants to be a friend, so I go and click that so the notification goes away. That's the only place like a profile I've ever gone. Maybe I'll go look...
    .
    .
    .
    Ok, that's crazy. First off, I have NO idea why those people didn't have anything better to do than 'visit' my profile. Nuts. More to the point, though, is I can't see how a set of names of people who might have taken a look at my profile could be a threat in any way, shape or form. Completely benign, and it baffles me.

    My goodness. On to other matters. Have a good day, all!

    I wish we could lock it. The thread is now totally devoted to sidetrack discussions. I may edit my original post in remembrance of TSherbs.

    Peace.

    Pictures of pens here are like pictures of cats and puppies on Facebook. Fire away! And there will always be someone with information and/or opinions to respond.

    I'm chortling as I read the posts. FPG is great -- and it's entertaining how things can go sideways so fast. I think this one got off the rails on page 2. The original poster asked for not constant bumping (okay no problem) - and to stick around and participate in a few discussions (okay no problem) - "so what's the problem" Sure we have 117 people looking in the 'for sale' section at 10 am Central time on a Tuesday no less - but I'd rather have them at FPG than somewhere else.
