Dear tsuwm: There was nothing in the site to tell me it was yours. I posted the URL, only to find when I tested it, it wouldn't work for some strange reason, so I deleted it. I'll post it again. http://members.aol.com/logoanon/index.htmlPS As I said, the site comes up, but nothing works. Please tell me why. Dear tsuwm: when you delete the scold, I'll delete the link.

it's NOT really my site, bill. but I strongly suspect that the words therein were lifted from my site, as they seem to comprise a rather limited (and old) subset of my list.

Dear tsuwm: When I finally took a look at the guestbook, I did see your address
on the e-mail form. But I thought your selection of pornography was not very
sensational. Couldn't you supply something better than a dildo in use?

ha ha, bill. but not nice to make that joke since some might take it seriously -- it might be a better idea for you (and etaoin) to remove the link before someone complains to the management.

Well, tsuwm. It wasn't exactly nice to scold me for not giving you credit when your name
was concealed. And the pornography was also hidden until you told me to search. But
I still say you could have chosen some more exciting pictures. Don't you think
auto-eroticism a bit passé?

Dear AS: I well know tsuwm's wwftd site, and have enjoyed the use thereof many times.
tsuwm faulted my manners for not giving his name in my first post. I hadn't, because
it was not in view. So when he complained, I searched, and not only found his name but a plain
to see pornography site. Now he's complaining that I did give his name.
Tell you what, tsuwm, you remove all your posts to the thread, and I'll remove all of mine.
People who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.

bill, I don't know if you're purposely ignoring my second post above, but that is most definitely NOT a link of mine -- I was originally joking about the words seeming to have come from my site, and I certainly hadn't seen the link at that point. <sigh>
leave the link if you want, the content is no reflection on me and is only the responsibility of the webmaster (and you for foisting it upon us).

Dear tsuwm: your memory was so good for remembering entitlement to claim those words
that I find it hard to believe you forgot that your name was on the e-mail form for the
guest book. And the pornography site is associated with the guestbook.
You were quick to claim negligence on my part for not acknowledging your claim to
the words. I have made you a quite reasonable offer. You delete all your posts on the
thread, and I will delete all mine.

okay, but. first I need to understand the following: "you forgot that your name was on the e-mail form for the
guest book" -- I don't get this, and I thought you were "teasing" (as is your wont).
just to make this very clear: I may have forgotten it, but I don't see it! all I see when I click on the guestbook is the infernal pornish swill!? please explain, 'cuz its this that has me hornswoggled and feeling obstreperous.
maybe you could PM this mail address which you claim is mine...

Dear tsuwm: You have changed the guest book so that the form with your name one it
no longer appears.Since it was your site, you would know how to do that.
You are a contemptible liar if you pretend you have not changed it.

elsewhere on the site I found this address: logoanon@aol.com
this address is no good -- not surprising as the site hasn't been updated since 1996.
perhaps you confused this with tsuwm@aol.com?

I think this site must be somebody's idea of a prank. I've opened it three times, and gotten a different "home" page every time--once it opened directly to a porn page. I've come across something like it once before: I was going to a dictionary site, and when I went to what I thought was going to be a site for something like a dialect of the Philippines, I got a pornograpy page. Quite a shock, to a newbie.
Anyway, Dr. Bill, tsuwm's address in the guest book notwithstanding, I have to say that I really don't think he knowingly had anything to do with that site. He has always been very strong on giving credit where credit is due, and has chastized me as well as other people, when we haven't done so. So I expect that he would be sure to attach ownership to anything that he was responsible for.
However, I did not see what you saw. And I do love you.

It has been pointed out to me that our computers keep records of the sites we go to. If you think a problem at work or at home might arise from visiting a pornography site, you might want to avoid clicking on the one given above.
