Took you long enough. I have been working on Pangloss too, but no luck so far.Originally Posted by Irving Washington
We should get UtahFanSir over here too. Among others.

But we smooth out difficulties; we relieve stress; we correct mistakes; we take up other men's burdens and by our efforts we make possible the peaceful life of men in a peaceful state.”

Everything is black and white to Pangloss. He is the most predictable political poster I have ever run across, including you.
lurking a bit, old habits are hard to bend
O frabjous day! Stick around! I need other guys around here of my, um vintage. You're made for this place.

Interesting. While Pangloss is pretty liberal, he has always struck me as being more willing to look past the party line and actually critique partisan dogma. That said, I've avoided most political stuff on UF.N lately.

Back in the day Pangloss and I had our share of set-to's, but we remain friends. Heck, there's one guy on this board I've been arguing with about politics for...well, since high school. It's all good.

I think my post might have pushed Pangloss over the edge to join. I'm glad I could contribute to this fine site.
Welcome, Irwin Washington!
IW always makes me wish I'd chosen a more creative moniker. Like Dickens Charles.

Gross!
Don't flatter yourself, you highly predictable poster. There are more things in heaven and earth than are dreamt of in your philosophy.

OK, maybe Wolfe Thomas?

You need an obscure character from Dickens.
I was actually joking about you being predictable. But, predictability is often a very good quality--especially in judges.
I've always wanted to do something with the name Wackford Squeers, but he's not obscure enough. I did consider Arthur Clennam once.
