See what I mean? Making a new board involves a little thing we like to call work. Thanks Shawn. If it works out successfully then you can all thank me. If it doesn't, then blame Jeff. |

That was nicely put, Krista. |

thank you. |

"...tremendous information about my personal life"...What? Like my kid's names? Well, look at the bright side. At least it's "tremendous". |

we know when you have your kids, when you don't. your son's baseball, jenna's friends names, your real estate, your boozing parties for people closer to your kids' ages than your own, your religious beliefs, your political beliefs, your past problems with alcohol and drugs, your singing, your blah blah blah blah do you see my point? |

And I never said it was "necessary for everyone to reveal all interesting facts about themselves in an internet profile". I mean, look at my profile! It's minimal but lets people know who "Jeff" is on this forum in a very casual, non specific way. It's just friendly, that's all. I know you can't stand me, but I wish you wouldn't twist what I plainly am saying to get your digs in. Of course you develop real relationships with dancers by talking to them. The profile is just a friendly introduction that some people can use if they wish. And my entire point in the context of upgrading to a newer format has been that I like the capability that our current board offers. |

Mission accompolished Krista. You've been waiting a while to get all that into one sentence. People get very personal on other forums and specific, way beyond anything that anyone's ever said on this forum. For many of us, the dancers in this scene are family, my family. You can slander me all you want, but the one thing I will not let you get away with is your comment about the parties. Those were after hours exchange parties for the entire scene. Everyone was welcome. No one was turned away. People had a great time. I'm sure Susan thinks your post was nicely put so congrats. |

No, actually, I didn't think it was nice. Could we stop this now please!?! |

I could always start a new "Separated at Birth" thread on Sal without the archived version, I suppose. And re: " Those were after hours exchange parties for the entire scene. Everyone was welcome. No one was turned away. People had a great time." It's nice to be hospitable, I applaud the inclusiveness, but underage drinking is illegal no matter how welcoming one wishes to be. |

Jeff, I'm just reiterating everything you yourself has put on the board. I wasn't at your parties, so I don't know. I'll take that back. My point is not to slander you. None of that information was my own mythical creation, all of that is what you yourself put on this board. When condensed into one quick sentence, it doesn't seem so great. The dancers in this scene may very well be your family. But this board isn't your living room. This board is public and accessible for everyone in the entire world with a freaking internet connection. |
| By Jeff (Jeff) on Thursday, July 08, 2004 - 07:54 pm: Edit |
Krista, thanks for taking that back. You haven't been to any parties at my house. People have been cool and we've had good times and been responsible. Again the context of all my comments have been about how our current profile capabilities are better than what I've seen on newer boards. Plus I love the fact that we can post color photos on the cover of events as they happen. The profile feature is great for those who wish to use it. I've found it helpful. Many don't use it. I'm not in love with it. If we loose it for what Jeremy and others think will facilitate communication and modernization then so be it. But the stuff you brought up about me was the result of over 2000 posts on 100 different topics over the last 6 years in forum conversations, not my profile. They would have come up on any forum, upgraded or otherwise. And frankly, now I'm ashamed of at least half of them. But we grow and learn from our mistakes. And who cares if people, like me, have a phone conversation kinda style when they post. You've shared your atheism and liberal political views over the years. So what? Yeah, it's a public, global internet forum, but it's for US. And maybe the reason I treat it like my living room is because everyone in this entire scene, except maybe you, has been in my living room many times and ARE like family. Ask about 100 of them. And maybe you don't realize how close I am to so many people in this scene. I'm a social person who's very involved in, and committed to, this dance and making it fun. I'm sorry if you know more about me than you'd like, but when you see a post from me just skip it. And what does any of this have to do with upgrading this board? Sheesh! I need a drink. |
| By Jeff (Jeff) on Thursday, July 08, 2004 - 08:07 pm: Edit |
Susan Turney, Yes, I agree. Especially now days when owners of homes where parties are held are now liable for conduct of attendees if they leave and get in an accident. I don't check I.D.'s at the door, but most of the kids don't drink any way if they're under 21, I think. And other parents are there as well, like Bill Sullivan and his daughter Sarah, for example. But yeah, and duh...Just try to leave my house with your car keys if you've been drinking. I'm the only one who does the drinking and driving! (Ha, ha...could't resist. Just reminiscing about my stupider days....won't go into detail, Krista). |

well said, Jeff. you were so hung up for a while on people's profile's and wanting to know who everyone was. My point was that sometimes offering so much of yourself is not necessary and often too much. And I didn't understand why you were stressing that everyone have a detailed profile. My profile is just my email address (I think) so that if you want to know more, you can just email me and ask. That's my preference. you do offer plenty of yourself on these boards. I don't want to know the things I do, but the only reason I do know these things is because of what you post. I'm not the only person reading these posts. I'm not the only person on here who has never been to one of your quite infamous parties, either. and I'm not an atheist, but my spirituality is my own damn business! This is just my perspective. |
| By Yedancer (Yedancer) on Friday, July 09, 2004 - 12:18 am: Edit |
Hey Krista. My perspective is that you should come out dancing more often. Haha! Seriously though.... |
| By Jeff (Jeff) on Friday, July 09, 2004 - 01:06 am: Edit |
I second that. |
| By Melbamoose (Melbamoose) on Friday, July 09, 2004 - 08:54 am: Edit |
Darlene's convincing me to do so. |
| By Nancyanne (Nancyanne) on Friday, July 09, 2004 - 09:44 am: Edit |
HAPPY BIRTHDAY Miss Krista! |
| By Melbamoose (Melbamoose) on Friday, July 09, 2004 - 10:18 am: Edit |
thanks, Nancy! I hope you come down!!!!! |
| By Jeff (Jeff) on Friday, July 09, 2004 - 10:40 am: Edit |
Yeah, I guess I was hungup on the profile thing. I do operate in extremes sometimes, in case you hadn't noticed. And I think just the email address is cool. At least it's something. But just think of how many dancers out there have no idea what you look like, escpecially since you don't come out much. But maybe you like it that way, and it should be of no concern to me that you do otherwise. Just come out and dance. Oh, and Happy Birthday. |

what does it matter what I look like? I don't know what everyone looks like on here. It has nothing to do with me preferring to be unknown. If you really needed to find out what I looked like, there are plenty of pics on this forum of me. I didn't have the capacity to upload a picture nor did I have a picture of myself on my computer when I first completed that profile. My whole thing is if you want to know me better, you can email me personally or introduce yourself next time I'm around. This is just an internet forum where you can chime in about random stuff. It's not a good medium to get to know people, really. Unless you really want to plaster every detail of your life on here... decision's up to you. |

there's that one picture on here somewhere of me giving shawn the finger. that one is probably appropriate right now....but I don't know how to post a pic. |
| By Jeff (Jeff) on Friday, July 09, 2004 - 11:12 am: Edit |
I remember that one! Ha, ha! |
| By Jeff (Jeff) on Friday, July 09, 2004 - 11:22 am: Edit |
Check out the "Faces" on the cover of Swingorama. I think that's so cool. Needs updating. Better check it out while ya can before progress wipes them all out. And, Krista, a portion of that picture is up there already. I don't know, I just like photos. Email addresses are cool too. |
| By Melbamoose (Melbamoose) on Friday, July 09, 2004 - 11:22 am: Edit |
I found it...it's in the old firehouse pictures...I don't know how to paste it, though. |

and there you have it, folks. |
| By Darlene (Darlene) on Friday, July 09, 2004 - 03:59 pm: Edit |
Ahhhh! As I posted eariler: "It's history! Keep it around in one form or another. Years back you could actually learn a few things from it. i.e. dance etiquette, etc. Then again there were .... the other posts!!" Well, that was a nice picture to post on Krista's birthday, Jeff. I thing that falls into..the other posts category. |
| By Jeff (Jeff) on Friday, July 09, 2004 - 05:15 pm: Edit |
Hey, I just helped her "paste it". It was my birthday present to her! |

So, Krista, if you are not dancing in San Diego, and not dancing in LA, what exactly are you doing? |
| By Jeff (Jeff) on Saturday, July 10, 2004 - 01:10 pm: Edit |
Krista, I hope u come to LBtB tonight. We'll give you a B-day jam. (Tried to email you but your address didn't show on your profile. Whazzupwidat?) |
| By Jeff (Jeff) on Saturday, July 10, 2004 - 01:12 pm: Edit |
Doesn't the Swingorama front page look beauOOOOOOtiful? I love all the headlines with cool pics. Say goodbye to all that. |
| By Darlene (Darlene) on Saturday, July 10, 2004 - 01:25 pm: Edit |
Tim, She's hanging out with her boyfriend!! And a mighty nice guy, I might add. |

"Doesn't the Swingorama front page look beauOOOOOOtiful? I love all the headlines with cool pics. Say goodbye to all that." What are you talking about?!?! (You sound like a person not wanting to get rid of his vhs in favor of dvd --- or even keeping beta over vhs.) You CAN still have a cool front news page with pics! We will be able to do EVERYTHING that we could do before and so much more! I simply don't understand your arguments for keeping this old forum. |
| By Jeff (Jeff) on Saturday, July 10, 2004 - 02:18 pm: Edit |
To me it's like not wanting to get rid of a 1965 Mustang for a new Buick. Or wanting some music still available on vinyl records. I think our board is classic and unique to San Diego. When it comes to toys I've got 'em, DVD, DSL, Satellite Navigation in a 2004 luxury car, blah, blah, blah. I also like dancing to 1940's music instead of top 40. And I think the newer forums have a way to view photos, but they can't just be slapped on the cover, can they? But if it's as you say, "EVERYTHING that we could do before and so much more" I'm down with that. So, isn't the cover beauOOOOOOtiful? |
| By Chance (Chance) on Saturday, July 10, 2004 - 02:21 pm: Edit |
yeah, yeah, beautiful. it is as i say...Everything and more. Just ask Shawn. |
| By Melbamoose (Melbamoose) on Monday, July 12, 2004 - 10:54 am: Edit |
Yes Tim, Darlene is right. There are plenty of things to do outside of dancing. There are a couple upcoming things I might be interesting in coming out dancing for. Krista |

I don't know what to tell you Jeff. That email address was up there last week. I didn't take it down. |
