NebrHogger,
I was wondering if you'd show up. I'm not too keen on the 'trivia question' thing anymore, for a couple of reasons. The last one didn't go so well, when someone got mad about not having the correct answer, and I had to go on the defensive. Kinda left a sour taste in my mouth. That's when the bickering finally got to be too much even for me, and I wasn't on the forum at all for the last month before they shut it down. Nothing personal against anyone in particular, I just got tired of the whole thing (although it was generally a good forum and I'm sad to see it go). I spent four or five months racking my brain and investing my time to post those questions, and it kinda wore me out and didn't end well. The other reason is time. I spent too much time on the computer as it was, on MarlinTalk every day. The time necessary to do research on those historical trivia questions got to be a heavy burden, more than I thought it would when I first started doing it. The more questions I posted, the more I had to dig to come up with new questions. Besides, after a while a bunch of people jumped on the 'trivia question bandwagon' and started posting trivia questions of their own, so I figured no one would miss it if I stopped. And I was right, no one did.
Anyway, I spent too much time on MarlinTalk before, now there's
three new forums with MarlinTalk vets. So now I'm spending three times as much time on the computer, to talk with everyone that survived the shipwreck. Aaaggghhhh! It's getting worse! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
Doesn't it suck that Marlin scuttled their own ship like that? I guess it's understandable, all things considered. But it still sucks.
