BajaNomad - What A Slacker!

What A Slacker!

KurtG - 1-27-2012 at 11:28 AM

Me that is! I just noticed that as of today I have been on this forum for 8 years but haven't even managed to get to the 400 post level. Certainly no threat for David or Dennis. I'll try harder, I promise.

We'll hold you to that. :biggrin:

dtbushpilot - 1-27-2012 at 12:28 PM

Congrats Kurt, sounds like you have a life

grizzlyfsh95 - 1-27-2012 at 02:18 PM

With 1685 DT, it's a wonder you have time to try to fish.

dtbushpilot - 1-27-2012 at 02:28 PM

Yes grizz, I "try" to fish, I quit trying to "catch" a long time ago besides, I never claimed to have a life outside of Nomads......

If your 58 posts are giving you performance anxiety I'd be happy to give you a few hundred of mine :lol:

Keep up your good work, Kurt! I'd rather read quality over quantity any day!

Skipjack Joe - 1-27-2012 at 05:21 PM

"On the other hand if the quantity drops below once every eight months, I would definitely look into it."

David K - 1-27-2012 at 05:50 PM

I like to toss in some quality with every dozen or so quantity posts! :light:

Udo - 1-27-2012 at 05:59 PM

Kinda like mcfez has been doing, just racking up the posts.

Its quality that counts, not quantity...right DK?

dtbushpilot - 1-27-2012 at 06:24 PM

If that's the case I guess I actually only have a few bonified posts.....

DENNIS - 1-27-2012 at 06:26 PM

Ask Doug to do away with the count. I will.

Doug. Please do away with the post count stat so these folks who consider themselves so put out by other member's participation that they have to equate quality of personage with their post count, and see others with more free time to participate in the process of the site as weak and lacking of character.

They must be right....there are so many who feel this way. I'm ashamed of myself for offending our Nomad family....we've been to great lengths together. [ :saint:

]

It never occured to me...as it certainly should have....that a membership here would, or could, have limitations....outside, of course, fractuous behavior. Of that, I have been guilty....happily so on some occasions.
But, on others, I have paid the price, and should I cross the line, you'll hear the register ring again.

All that said, I have no remorse for my robust, tiring, if you will, participation here. I've excercised my rights to communicate, and I've done it with a style of my own. Anyone here is free to rebut my comments or ignore them, but I won't be silenced or intimidated by a-holes who feel they know my limit of activity on this site. Screw all of you who make your nasty baloney comments as to my post count, and if you don't effing like it, don't read my posts.

I do what every other knowledgeable Nomad does....I participate in my own way. If only I had David's encyclopedic offerings, which all of you should be thankful for, I'd have a deeper niche here, but I don't.

I could go on with this "cleansing" for pages, but I'll save it for another time. In the "mean" time, cut us some slack for doing what makes this site strong......participating, and if you can't come to terms with that, ignore us.....but don't castigate our involvement here. That isn't right.

Yes...yes, Phil. Thank you so much for asking and may all the Gods bless your soul.
I'm a Monk now. I've followed my calling and joined a like-minded group. Here we are on a pilgrimage:

So sorry to hear this, Kiddo. Hang in there. I'll have a couple in your dads memory.

Not sure how many buddies you have named Kurt but hope I (and Kathy) are high on the list. Sorry this thread turned a little serious, I was just going for a little humor. Very little as it turned out.

We are planning our Ojo Liebre whale watching jaunt in mid-March so will probably visit Asuncion again then. I'm also probably doing a m/c ride in Feb so may see you on that trip.

Kurt is Baja Proven!

Here he is in the shadow of Mision Santa Maria between edm-1 (Art) and CG (Chris):

Pacifico - 1-28-2012 at 11:46 AM

WOW!

I didn't mean to offend you, Dennis! I AM SORRY! You are a valuable member of this board and you have even helped me out in the past. My comment was not intended to be directed at you or DK. My comment was just what it was; I would rather read quality posts (helpful or interesting information) than posts that are obviously for quantity (post counts). I could give a crap about someone's post count! Obviously on a board like this, there are both kinds of posts. I read the ones I chose to and pass on the other posts that I don't care to read. Obviously there is some history to your post count that I am unaware of....sorry.

Shari, I am so sorry to hear about your father! I hope you and your family are doing ok. We will hopefully see you soon!

No need to be, PacMan. I wasn't talking to anyone in particular....especially not you. I was just getting something off my chest. I appreciate what you said.

David K - 1-28-2012 at 01:19 PM

Pacifico, there are some who only post to egg on others or for ego or because they want to turn you off to Mexico... like you, I do try and pick what is interesting to me or where I can help a fellow Nomad out with some info. or insight. Otherwise, I do yap a lot because I like people and I like Baja, so it is a fun combo here on Nomad... good entertainment. I have the highest post count because after the founder, I am the oldest poster here... and I do post a lot. My favorite thing to post is trip reports... which means I was on a Baja trip... and what's better than that? After that it is historic intersts, like the missions, mines, petroglyphs... then the beautiful beaches, palm filled canyons, desert... it just keeps going and going: "So much Baja... so little time!"
