Off topic and on politics. Closed.

We've been advised our hosting service will be updating the software beginning at 9PM on Friday. There may be outages and/or slowdowns. When posting a thread or response PLEASE do not hit the enter bar more than once. Here are the details: In an effort to improve uptime and stability, we will be upgrading your web hosting server's hardware! Here are some of the benefits of the upgrade: All solid-state drive(SSD) backed storage. This means much faster access and write times for data. Moving to Intel(R) Xeon(R) E5 processors vs existing AMD. The scheduled maintenance will begin on Fri, Oct 18 and your server may experience intermittent downtime starting at 9 PM CDT. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

At this point in time the only remedy is to lock or delete as they appear. Agree it is a nuisance. It is very easy to start new threads. Folks, please do not drag up old threads whose topics may only be peripherally germane and whose information is definitely dated.

All I can say about this thread is "oh, brother." Closed.

My comment was addressed to all of you. You can argue and disagree here but you can't get personal. That is the point. This has been difficult for some of you to assimilate. You have another local board where you can get personally unpleasant. I recommend those of you who can't resist engaging in personalities to do it there. If you have any other concerns, PM me.

You can call a spade a spade all you want here but you can't call another poster a spade. Got it?

If you see he is the thread starter you do not have to open up the thread. Also this board has an ignore feature, enabling you to ignore all posts and threads by a poster you don't like. In the future please use either of these options and don't post something like this. Problem solved!

I am forewarning everyone who posts here that ANY personal attacks on the OP will earn an immediate time out.

Sorry but a topic entitled "U.S health care" is obviously political and this one is. Closed.

It is a violation of board rules and you've been around here plenty long enough to know it. Enjoy your time out.

This thread is out of control ugly. It seems some of you will never learn to simply tell someone when they are wrong and why without getting very personally nasty. And Herman you are very, very wrong in some of your attitudes and ideas. You are setting yourself up for some hard times here. Closed.

I think he has a very good point here. The Ojo only comes out monthly, anything posted here could very well sell a lot faster. Maybe what advertisers need to do is to immediately edit out their ad if the item sells.

Difference was you got pretty nasty with a specific poster here in a personal way. That may be OK on TOB but it isn't here. Don't do it again. You know about that word "assume" when broken down into its component parts?

Too political folks. Do not start another one of these threads.

Reciclaje Ajijic (the recycling group) The committee met with our Presidente on Tuesday and reports that he is enthusiastically supporting the efforts of the group. This is a pilot project, started in Ajijic, but of course we would all like to see it spread to include the whole of our municipio. But we need time and volunteers to sort what we already have at the centre. We get a little bit done and then a truck delivers twice as much. Please consider coming this Saturday, between 9:00 and 2:00, to help with this task. We are trying to get ahead - so that we can reorganize the building. And to get bags that are now outside, unsorted, into the building and sorted.. Think rainy season! The centre is the old barracks building in West Ajijic. The bus stops there and the return bus stops right across the road. If you are driving, and know someone who needs a ride, please consider sharing a car. We would especially like to see young people. Even kids can sort plastic. It's best to wear firm soled shoes. For stomping plastic bottles! And because there is broken glass around. Feel free to contact me if you need more info. Thank you.
