I don't think that BeThere was telling you to "Shut up".
But I do think that he was offering a few words that are most often repeated on this GetBig Board.
I could be mistaken though.
One thing that I find to be apparently lacking among most GetBig members is a complete lack of understanding about a 'good sense of humor'.
I come from a family whose sense of humor was beyond a good sense of common courtesy.
They were known to find some form of humor within every social gathering known to the human race ..... at weddings, at funerals, and even Bar Mitzvahs even though they were Swedes and Irishmen serving as servants and caterers who were expected to act accordingly ... but never did.
Just for the sake of a laugh or two.
I think that WeS and HOWARD and a couple of others whom I have forgotten each have an exceptional sense of humor which often requires a large degree of unrecognized/unappreciated intelligence.
But that intelligent part was never evident when it involved my family members who were more like the humorous Hatfields while everyone else was the deadly McCoys.
Something similar is happening on this here GetBig Board, but you'd have to have a sense of humor to see it happening while it happens if it happens at all.
Or something like that.
