2008-05-26 [Hedda]: The phoenix just landed on Mars!

I wonder if NASA will enter this contest too.

2008-06-03 [NightTheOwl]: Oh wow my specialty! The Phoenix

2008-06-04 [Artsieladie]: Your specialty, eh? I'd be interested to know about this 'specialty', like knowledge of the Phoenix, perhaps? I see you are an Elfwood writer, too. *whispers* You might want to take the animation out of your mood slot. *winks*

2008-07-18 [The Red Baron]: Why do I deduce that some of my comments have vanished for unknown reasons?

2008-07-18 [Calico Tiger]: There was news on Main Street about a week or so back (or an alarm message, or something somewhere, I forget now), we lost all wiki page comments, diary entries, guest book entries (I'm sure I missed something), of about a month. That's when a new back-up script went in, but it didn't perform as it was supposed to. It is working now and everything is backed up far more often :D

All that lost data sucks :(

2008-07-18 [windowframe]: Forum postings went, too.

2008-07-21 [The Red Baron]: I want to believe that.

2008-07-21 [windowframe]: Then do so. ;)

2008-07-21 [The Red Baron]: By wanting to do something, it doesn't mean that I will do it.

Right now, I want a seaworthy Phoenician vessel and sail off the coast of Sidon or maybe Tyr.

After all, we Phoenicians were pioneers of seafaring and trade. We also invented the alphabet and the written word.

2008-07-21 [windowframe]: Well that's your problem. ;) It's a shame when people don't want to believe the truth.

Yes, I know. I study classics.

2008-07-21 [The Red Baron]: It's not a matter of wanting to believe or not.

It's a matter of faith in the system(s); and there are plenty of systems in which I don't have faith.

2008-07-21 [windowframe]: We're telling you that ET crashed, and you're not sure you believe that. That sounds to me like you have too much faith to be able to believe that ET could crash so badly, not a lack of faith. :P

2008-07-21 [The Red Baron]: Or sending mixed messages with subliminal mind-controlling content.

2008-07-21 [windowframe]: Oh don't worry, they're being overridden by a blend of common sense and logic. :)

2008-08-26 [The Red Baron]: Common sense and logic are endangered species in this place.

2008-08-26 [windowframe]: They're an endangered species in most places.
