I understand full well about socializing dude, and while I make no qualms about being 80/20 ---80% Solitary by choice... I just hate dealing with crowds and having to explain myself every half hour... and 20% Social... No man is an island and must eventually hang with his buds and stir shit up among the global sheep--- What I meant was "was it that dead at that partiuclar time last XMAS?" I didn't originally register until May of 2002 so I wasn't around last year for any of it, then after 8 months of being Stormrider I said screw it, dropped him (Storm should be deleted soon) and decided to start from zero again in which to interact in this community.
Thus I think this was a valid question and not just one I came up with outta' my ass. I'm fully aware that weekends are generally dead around here, I was just surprised that with it being XMAS and all, I just figured everyone was like me, having finished shopping already (unless you're a procrastinator) and would be avoiding any further traffic assholes... ahem, I mean, Traffic Hassles... and be all hanging out throwing down the gauntlet about this or that right here. I guess I should've phrased my original Thread Title differently.

Anyhow it's all good, I've got 3 true friends in this life, a good woman of almost 3 years, a bunch of associates to talk shit with from time to time when I feel like it... and I'm meeting up with some other Neo heads tonight (Sunday 22) who some might end up on the true friends list with the passing of time. So if your response was a put down... it failed. If your response was legit based off any misconstrued conceptions based on my flawed ability to be more concise with the topic thread then I understand that. Either way this place is still the best and I never hold a grudge (well I do, but it takes a lot more than that.)... 'sides in here you're tougher than leather or nothing at all
See you on the battlefield gamer!
