A threadhog ?? !! ?? who, Li’’le ol’ Luddie? Neeeever!!

Oh….oow…um… ok... perhaps occasionally! ( :>#

I tend to only write to OLO these days. I’d love to get back into the Sustainable Population Australia popforum and probably various others like Lavartus Prodeo, The Drum, Agmates, etc … but there are only so many hours in a day and I’m strongly outdoor-oriented, and I’ve always got a big mob of plant and bird records and associated stuff to do in the evenings.

In fact, that’s the main reason why I was so quiet on OLO earlier this year – because I was so into my botanical passions, in this amazing part of the world in the north Queensland wet and dry tropics, which is at its best at the end of the wet season and in the few weeks after it. Then I went to the Channel Country, as it is booming this year, with water and birds and interesting plants everywhere.

So now I’m fully bayyack into threadhoggery on OLO!!

Thanks Forrest for putting up the link to that old thread on pseudonyms (crikey, was it really almost two years ago!). That was a great discussion, notwithstanding Mad Ludwig of Herbaria’s hijacking of his own thread with a whole lot of botanical rabble!!

And yes, it is a pity that there is no search facility for general threads by opening poster. I have a list of 55 general threads that I’ve started, with links to them all, but I know that there are some old ones that I’ve missed and there seems to be no way of gettin to em.

Dear Ludwig,

OLO does it for me.

I can't imagine posting elsewhere,
I simply don't have the time or the
inclination. I have read some of the
other sites. However, I agree with Suze,
I found other Forums quite ordinary,
and not as interesting as the mix that
makes up this one.

I've now been posting
for a few years here and am quite happy to
continue to do so, at least for now.

Thank you FG for attaching the link; I love reading the old comments of long time OLOers. In retrospect I actually wish I had used my first or middle name as it seems false using a psuedonym or screen title. When finished in the working world perhaps I may one day.

You are a character FG.

Oops, almost signed off with my first name!

OLO is the only discussion site I contribute to, although I do spend some time reading on scientific sites. After a while one does start to feel like part of something.

I do spend some time on a couple of old car sights, old [25 to 35 years old] as distinct to vintage. Many of us drive old cars by choice, & as the technology of these cars is becoming more out of date it is hard, in many parts of the world, to find someone who can find any fault that develops.

It is really nice to support, & be supported by people from all over the world.

I always try to avoid fat people or the less glamourourous community, so no I just post here.

Having been a serious hobbyist musician for almost all my life, I contribute to about 8 music "forums" .... gee I hate that word "fora" (the English language sometimes just gets it wrong).
