Cast out of Eden, now we are condemned to live by the sweat of our brow...
and bond income.

It picked up a bit this afternoon, but it was mostly down for me this morning and is still kinda slow.

No laughs for the above? I was sure I'd get some. 
I'm changing it to my sig.

As someone who equally loves softly berating folks with bad senses of humor for not laughing at my jokes, I would like to address both your Eden comment and your follow-up mike-check.

Good form, sir.

Haha, thanks!

I got an error message about a sessions table being corrupt and needing to be rebuilt most of the day yesterday.

I was saving that line for when we eventually get around to discussing the witches of Salem. ;-)

You do know the witches of Salem are responsible for the rise of Nazis and Hitler, right? 

... Godwin  (or, should it be God wins?) 

Um...I did not know that.

Actually, I was kidding - just wanted to prove Godwin's Law.    But, upon reflection, both the Nazis and the "Puritans" at the Salem witch trials were trying to purify the culture --- by abhorrent methods!  It is amazing what sinful humans can do to pervert God's Word by trying to pick and choose Scripture to fit a warped agenda.  Sad when you think about all the ways sinful man tries to play God.

Why does this forum (on Simple Machines) routinely (usually several times per week I either lose when writing a topic response or can't get on the forum at all) crash when other forums I frequent that use Simple Machines almost NEVER crash?

The way us non-religious types see this is: its amazing how humans steeped in religious or philosophical mysticism can pervert objective, physical reality by trying to pick and choose their beliefs to fit a warped agenda.  Sad when you think about all the ways a deluded man tries to play "God". 

Where you see a sinful man against his "God", we see deluded beliefs creating a warped reality.  "The question is," said Humpty Dumpty, "which is to be master — that's all."
