I participate almost exclusively in Mac-related threads these days and do what I can to encourage them, but I definitely can't take all or even most of the credit there. There have been some especially great threads in the Rumours forum lately, but I didn't start any of them: madformac's new "Reinvention" thread, Boots' "Blue Letter" thread (I mean, it's not quite as good as my "Blue Letter" thread, but what could be, really?), StephenC's "Wish List" thread, bikerchic's "Go Your Own Way" thread, Janet's "The Dance" thread (I think some people got annoyed by that one at one point, but I really enjoyed it). And there's always good stuff going down on the less-trafficked forums, albeit at a much slower pace. The Stevie forum has its good moments too, you just need to pick and choose your threads carefully.

Don't look for me much (or at all, really) in the month of March and part of the beginning of April, though. I'll be globetrottin' all over the place.

Well I'm a "Libran Tiger" which means I'm supposed to have some balance I think. You would have to ask Amber, she's our resident astrologist.

Lately though the scales have been tipping back to wreckless abandon. I'm trying to find my equilibrium once more before I go totally off the rails....

I hear that, except lately I've just been reckless with my credit cards.

Thank god for Amber, that's all I have to say.

Only Amber, huh? Bugger off, you tosser!

Oh. OK, then.

Sharon? You're hot like a spark.

She's the Peacekeeper.

In a word no...

It's as unthinkable as the sun stopping burning.

That's nice, but you are high. I've gotten in a fight with...90% of the people here at one time or another? Yeah.
I love you, Sharon.

Thank you, Madformac.

Ha ha, I've even gotten in arguments with Sharon...

And you forgot Paula, you tosser.

I am a fair threadjacker, though.

Fair point but you've posted 90% more than most people too so I'd say it's balanced.

Ah, but weren't those, like, the best arguments ever!

At least you're responsible enough to still have credit cards....

remember Kenya.

Maybe for you and me, I'm not so sure about the others involved.

Don't categorize me that way. I hate that, I absolutely hate that.

I lived through a particular Fleetwood Mac era as a teenager & did exactly the same thing as all the kids on this board are doing today: buying all the magazines, taping all the TV & radio interviews, going to all the concerts in my state, yabbing on about the band to anyone who will listen, buying concert photos (of course these days you just download them off the Web), trading bootlegs & listening to all of them day & night in order to memorize them, playing Fleetwood Mac songs on the piano or the kitchen counter, compiling tour dates on a typewriter, communicating with Fleetwood Mac pen pals (no e-mail then) like Aaron Muentz & Kip Lupton & Roland Benoit, buying Fleetwood Mac sheet music, attending fan conventions, spending hours in the county assessor's office to find Stevie's & Lindsey's & Christine's home addresses, cutting out all the Fleetwood Mac articles in newspapers & magazines I located with the Readers Guide to Periodical Literature, spending hours in front of the magazine rack every weekend to find & buy every last mention of the band in Hit Parader or Creem or RS, scoping out the Calendar section of the L.A. Times every day (especially the big section on Sundays) to find every last club appearance of the Fleetwood Macsters, naming the cars I drove after Fleetwood Mac songs, putting KLOS Fleetwood Mac stickers all over my bumpers & my doors, having Fleetwood Mac dreams, having Fleetwood Mac nightmares, grinding my teeth in time to Mick's drumming, sketching top hats in art class, etc. etc. etc.

All the fans today do exactly the same things I did back then. The only difference is they're doing it ... today! But there's no difference between all of them & me. I just don't do it any more because I think Fleetwood Mac are old & fat.

I didn't mean to categorize you, I just meant to say you know a lot about Mac.

I don't do exactly the same thing. They're not that fat.
