Newly Petrified

I think your making ^ 4 it now….your keep on making new threads:)

My big fear? Someone in the real world will say one of my ideas as their own and I’ll be torn; keep quiet? or reveal your true identity?

Tough choice….

But can you imagine, one day, you hear a prominent speaker say, “someone told me, blah, blah, blah..” or “I recently heard a great story / idea…” and it was lifted from the CR verbatim (or close to it).

One day, one day, one day….

In a recent message the leader of a large western superpower

said to me: “Ron, why not call the editors at Yeshiva World News and urge them to make next week lurkers and first-time posters month? Why not encourage those Coffee Room members who have never posted before to step up to the plate, and post a few words – let us know how they feel and how things are in their

part of the world, along with whatever other pearls of wisdom

they might want to add; let them share an idea or two with the

huddled masses yearning to eat brie. Let them have a voice

where previously they had none! Let them be heard! Promise

them that you and the other sadists won’t rip them and their

ideas to bits, but will only send messages of support and

meaningful analyses of their thoughts.”

I said the only patriotic thing I could under the circumstances:

“Sure, Hillary, why not?”

Let’s declare next week as first-time posters week – for those who have been hiding their lights under bushel-barrels, now’s the time to come out of your closets and expose yourself (figuratively, of course) to us. Don’t be shy. We’ll be kind. And if anyone’s not kind, I’ll break his or her neck (figuratively, of course). You have my promise.
