OK, I have to Ask DOUG
I don't really give a caca about the number of posts or these Juvenile badges such as Junior, Senior, Ultra, Wazoo or Whatever, BUT if the reason the
number of posts goes down now and then is that OFF-Topic posts are deleted, WHY doesn't that happen at one time when whatever cleansing software does
its FM number ? I noticed a decrease in the numbers a couple of days ago and NOW another one. I just know there is a simple reason.

Mr.Bill
Doug has noted numerous times that the off topic post are always deleted, they do not count toward your merit badge.

naturally affect your count. |
But no real impact if that it is just a blip compared to the total garbage heep being spewed.

Actually, I'm not aware of there being a double-up on the #'s recently.
It's not an automatic pruning, as I go in and do it "manually" - and I did it again in the past day or two.

OK, Doug's explanation is on point, unlike a number of responses noted above(such as Commietan's), but that's usual for any thread. Previously, I
had assumed that the deletion mechanism was software-driven, but the fact that it's manual explains the phenomenon. One more trivial question
answered.
As I stated earlier, I don't care if you do away with the whole infantile counting system and trash the badges of rank along with it.
Thanks for the response, Doug

Then why is your avatar showing a picture of yourself proudly wearing all three of your BajaNomad posting achievement badges?

Gotta love those avatars....
They display a lot of info...sort of like tattoos, except more easily changed as your mood fluctuates.

The text in the link:
During the years 1895-1896, he was assigned to the 10th Cavalry, a unit of the Buffalo Soldiers in Montana. His nickname, "Black Jack" dates from this
service. It became both a subtle accolade, and derogation to the Buffalo Soldiers he fought with and praised. That was an improvement over the
"****** Jack" which West Point cadets called him. General Pershing's time spent leading black soldiers significantly affected him throughout his
military career. He remained deeply concerned with their well being and was instrumental in getting the black organizations into combat rather than
being relegated to support operations in the rear.
In April, 1898, Pershing was assigned to the 10th Cavalry and fought at El Carney-San Juan Hill. He won a Silver Star for his gallantry in his charge
up San Juan Hill. Between 1899 and 1903, Pershing was assigned to the Philippines in Northern Mindanao during the Moro campaign. After years of
service in the Philippines, Pershing reported to the Presidio of San Francisco in 1913 for assignment in case the war with Mexico broke out.
In early 1914, Pershing patrolled the Mexican Border, with the Buffalo Soldiers, leaving his wife and his four young children in quarters at the
Presidio of San Francisco. A huge fire destroyed Pershing Presidio quarters in 1915 killing Mrs. Pershing and the three little girls. Only his son
Warren survived.
In March of 1915, Pershing led an expedition into Mexico to capture Pancho Villa. Pershing organized and commanded the Mexican Punitive Expedition, a
combined armed force of 10,000 men that penetrated 350 miles into Mexico and routed General Pancho Villa's revolutionaries, severely wounding Villa
himself.

Children! Children!
Please remember the Word ASSUME and what it does to each of you who use it!!
ASS/U/ME--To ASSUME Makes an ASS of U and ME!!
FACTS-ACTS are how to Judge People ,Past and Present!
Experience coupled with Book Larning makes for Knowledge!
Book Larning only makes for Opinion based on anothers Words!
Some of you Posters need to 1.Get some experience 2. Go back to School
3.Stop reading the newspapers- TV- Blogs 4. Get out "under the Bridge" and learn"What is really happening"".
Suggestion: Put on some old clothes and go to South Cental LA and East
LA, then to the Fields and Daries of the Central Valley, then to Oakland and San Francisco!~
Then take a Trip to Salt Lake City and observe the Difference!
Then come on back to The Panhandle of Texas and see the Difference, Don't depend on someones Opinion!!

Fools
I would guess that BungHoleDopo is quite familiar with Fools from personal experience. However, Packoderm's posted Bio of Black Jack would seem to
put that juvenile remark to rest. Pershing distinguished himself Before, During and After WWI. A truly remarkable man who Sharks finds "tasteless".
That should tell us more about Sharks taste than anything else. I would guess from his comment that he finds in better taste Villa's murdering
innocent U.S. citizens:
"In January 1916, a group of villistas attacked a train on the Mexico North Western Railway, near Santa Isabel, Chihuahua, and massacred 18 American
employees of the ASARCO company.
On March 9, 1916, Villa led 1,500 (disputed, one official US Army report stated "500 to 700") Mexican raiders in a cross-border attack against
Columbus, New Mexico, in response to the U.S. government's official recognition of the Carranza regime [3]. They attacked a detachment of the [13th US
Cavalry], seized 100 horses and mules, burned the town, killed 10 soldiers and 8 of its residents, and took much ammunition and weaponry."
To each their own. I'll take Black Jack Any day.
