I/we have had the same thought. American society is very coarse these days, and that board had a lot of stuff that was much worse, no reaction. We just happened to catch a bad mod on a bad day. We've set up an alternative on the book of faces, and have even got a new forum on the original board - but our leader is banned. :-(
Yeah, there's a gross, low down and nasty nurse page that I mess with. People wear their suspensions as badges of honor, their 30 day bans. But the whole page just got cancelled this last month, so it immediately was reborn by the same folks, same name. We'll see how long we can last this time. Time to find a new host page?

This OP is on "indefinite" suspension so we don't know what that means, nor does he - he is worried about lifetime ban. On the original board, we have had to remind several posters about the First Rule of Fight Club (you don't talk about Fight Club), and so far we seem to be OK with the OP is posting sparsely under a different name. Meanwhile over on the book of faces, at least we can "talk" freely, though it's disjointed. I generally avoid the book of faces.

Are you still in touch with your air travel fan group, doc? Are they still active? I'm trying to remember their name.

However, I am participating in a discussion about a DO next summer, originating in Sofia and then traveling to the US west coast, though city undecided at present. LAX? SFO? SEA? I've never been to Bulgaria or Romania...

There really is a town/place called George, Washington - it's near where The Gorge outdoor amphitheater is.

I think there is cross-pollination in these boards. One of the guests lurking came over from the other board when I mentioned I was listening to this! It's OK - they are friendly.

I've always thought Eastern Europe sounded more appealing than Western. Now, I have two contacts over there; one a hammer dulcimer player, the other a radio broadcaster and storyteller. And a hammer player in England who's completely nuts.

Always a pleasure to spend a few hours listening to something other than the negative news of the day. Thanks folks and I hope the week goes well for us all!

And a hammer player in England who's completely nuts. I don't know about "more" appealing, though each country has its own appeals. I've been only to (then) Czechoslovakia, Estonia, Russia, and maybe one or two I'm forgetting. This particular DO is being organized by someone in Sophia, and many of the participants will be from nearby nations. A few of us Americans will join up - some in the US portion only. Me, I wanna start in Sophia.

I'm not at the end yet, having backtracked to listen to "Green Summertime" for a second time. But it's time for TCM and the Hitchcock tribute.
Y'all have a great week!
