Sharkey/MrBill - read what I said with a little more care - it's inclusive - I didn't exclude anyone.
I suppose it'd be possible to spend half your life on the freaking computer and still know the people and culture of Baja - not real likely - but
possible.
Yeah - there is still a lot of good information here - but you have to wade through a lot to get to it.
Maybe some of these guys making thousands of posts know a lot and just want to share - or maybe they just can't keep their ciberyaps shut - like they
have some other issues in their lives that drive them to post so much - you make the call for yourself guys.
A lot of the best sources for info on Baja are older folks - that's just a fact - and fortunately many are computer-savvy and capable of doing ore
than one thing in a day. But many tend to be a little less willing to wade - and less willing to put up with the bickering bs that's on here.
There's no way of knowing how many of them have been driven off the board - but my guess is a lot.
Oh - well - it's your board now muchachos - have fun with it.

Yeah - right on Hose - and see how many of them choose to connect and contribute to this site. You can bet that people who have to connect through an
internet cafe aren't spending hour after interminal hour with thousands of posts to one site.
And no - it aint just the language barrier thing - although that's surely part of it. Fact is the english literate mexicans I've invited to this site
just laugh at it.
Whoops - I forgot - I don't know the people of Baja very well.

My mistake Hose - I didn't know we were limiting things to teenagers connecting through internet cafes.
As for the bran - jajajaja - that's a good one - yeah - I had mine about 3am this morning.
Right now I'm ready for beer - I guess it shows.
Take care man.

The Gold (Brawlio) Standard
It appears that you can relate to and love the People, Culture and Land of Baja if you post roughly 8-10 times per month as the Brawlio does.
Apparently, more than that and you're an uncouth technogeek who is unable to live life outside of the Virtual Realm.
Of course, some insight to Brawlio's relationships can be taken by his statement that:
"The folks I know who really understand the people and culture of Baja wouldn't even know how to turn a computer on".
That would be a pretty ignorant group of people. Most people I know, including those who are not geeks, could figure out how to turn one on.
Hint-There's an ON button.
As far as the Internet cafe's, there's one in San Felipe that's filled with MEXICANS everytime I go by there.
I appears I should also tell my Landlord's family that they're not going to be able to understand their own people if they continue to waste their
time on their computers. The same for my Mexican friends in San Felipe.
I guess that JR is the one who should be most insulted by Brawlio's rant. 4051 posts since 2-2-2003. Judged by the GOLD standard, he obviously has
no life at all outside the Internet. Strange when you think about it, because JR is THE Foremost authority on the People, Life and Culture of the
"Real People" of Baja. Bamboo, too. How is that possible ?

Wrong again Bill
"Strange when you think about it, because JR is THE Foremost authority on the People, Life and Culture of the "Real People" of Baja. Bamboo, too. How
is that possible ?"
Although it is true that I have been more places and have more friends in Baja than probably most anyone on here, and I travel and see them fairly
regularly in all parts besides the enclaves, I don't really consider myself an expert on much of anything down here.
I do however know my friends feelings, have pictures of the real Baja prior to the americanization, and share most of that on here.
Obviously this will ruffle some feathers on those who pretend to be ofishyonadas and think they are cool because they vacation here.
And yes, I don't mind peeing off the self centered flakes who are full of hot air and guess at whatever they think will make them look cool to the
newbies.
Because of my "caustic" attitude with these clowns, I expect to be called on everything I say. Fact is though, nobody can because what I say has
actually been lived by me and I can back up everything I have said from the beginning.
There has of course been some controversy about state capitals and u2u'ing but heck, why sweat the small stuff.

The Point Was........................
That, according to the Brawlio Standard set forth earlier, you are mong the worst of the bunch. His formulation, not mine. Obviously, if you only
post to the extent that he does, you still have enough time to meld with the Culture. Beyond that, Bad and worse.

Muchachos--Love it
Well I am conflicted, as usual, with this conversations. I find it interesting that a few newby's who have entered our home basically uninvited are
now telling people on this board how to act. I resent that even if I do agree with some of their comments.
Lord knows that I have and will continue to encourage muchachos to join Baja Nomad because I believe that new blood is good and that they make us look
at ourselves from different eyes and that helps me remain young at heart.
Sadly I am one of those old people who just might have some knowledge that many others have not acquired if for no other reason than the fact that
they may have not lived long enough to experience the things that I have. I find that Baja is changing so rapidly that the knowledge attained 40
years ago (or even five years) is no longer available to the younger folks and in most cases it has not been placed in books or even on the internet.
I do spend a lot of time on the internet and I take work breaks by coming here.
Iam a bit literate on the computer as can be seen by the fact that I have written and published two books using the computer to write, edit, and
publish same. I spend most of my work time on this machine researching and writing my third book which will be a novel.
Okay so welcome to the mewby's and I ask that they spend a few minutes learning before they becoming critical of our family.
It is sorta like my b-tching about my wife---That's okay, but a stranger better not do it to my face.
My smidgen of a claim to fame is that I have had so many really good friends. By Bernie Swaim December 2007

Sr. Tiburon
doesn't exactly seem like the whiney, crybaby, quitter types that wouldn't last long on any board. According to some, there are plenty of that type
that (used to ) frequent this board.
Baja is not for wimps! And although this board is related to Baja, there sure are a lot of wimps that can't even back up their own statements on
here
As far as having an opinion on something, yoos guys have labeled him a tree hugger and all kinds of other crapola and are pretty much laying into
him. Because you like to play golf?
Well ya big bullies, at least yer not wimps
Playing through, amateurs

I guess we are all showing our colors. It's ok, we must learn about the rest of the "family" So go for it you guys. It makes them look pretty silly
also.
I'll chill, I've got plenty to do, but thanks for the pep talk anyway JR.
As far as backing up my claims.... some people are not worth the effort.
New philosophy:
Gee, another arrow in the back a little more to the left pleeeeeeeeeze
They just want paople to go away....forever
It works!
On some!

Do you ever have anything to contribute on your own, sat something about Baja?
Looking through all your posts, all I saw was the typical whining about others postings, in every one of your posts.
Check it out dude.
Anyways, howz about some good Baja stories or something besides just the complaining.

maybe "Baja Cyber Geeks that take them selves a little too seriously" would be a little better for some of the people posting here
