This is for UPDATES to the Commander Tansin A. Darcos / Caltrops posting plan agreement.

I have paid for the first month of posts, from August 10, 2022 - September 9th, 2022.

I will meet back here on September 9th for an assessment of how we are both liking or disliking the arrangement.

Project Status: GOOD

Can you put short summaries of the posts ao we can all FB judge the quality?

Here is one. Is this the sort of content you're looking for, Varkus? https://www.caltrops.com/pointy.php?act ... pid=210718

I enjoyed that post earlier when I saw it. I should respond.

Yeah, I was expecting tax laws so that's great stuff.

Yeah, Jonsey, can we get some LIKE buttons around here?

I thought I posted a response. So, here it is.

"I'm Tansin A. Darcos and I approved this message!"

Oops, sorry, wrong response.

"Your offer is accepted."

Project status: still good.

I think Firefox crashed, then when restarted it did not "remember" that the page had been posted, so when it restored the prior session, it recovered the original message, which explains why I posted my acceptance twice. Sorry.

Tdarcos should track how many responses he gets, maybe get a bonus for engagement.

And do we think that responding to people - replies - could be in the works?

Payment has been issued for the time period September 9 - October 9 2022.

I am HAPPY with the arrangement.

I am glad to hear that. I pick subjects based on my own interests; I try to pick ones that others will respond to. Noty "click bait" but as an expression of my own thoughts and see how people take it. I really learn a lot from the serious comments, especially where I've made a mistake. In fact, I have a couple items in my latest book where what I wrote has an error in it, but I didn't catch it until a later read.

I am curious, any suggestions on what the huddle masses, yearning to ... you get the idea. The cretinous reprobates(tm) that infest the place, is there anything they're interested in? I might be able to raise a disagreeing opinion and people can tell me why it's wrong.

But I have some ideas in the interim.

Sure. Any chance ya might do REPLIES in other bases too??

I do, when I have something to say that I think is relevant.

For example, if there was a thread, "Here's why Slayer is the greatest band ever." Well, I've never heard / heard of this band other than seeing the name, and know nothing about them, so I really can't answer it. I don't know this group, about all I could say is "I think The Beatles, The Who, The Rolling Stones, Metallica, Jefferson Airplane/Jefferson Starship/Starship, would be far better choices." Because it's all opinion, there isn't necessarily a correct choice. But he might be saying they're the best of their genre, e.g. death metal (aww, come on, would someone name a band Slayer if it wasn't a death metal band?)

Honestly yeah old Metallica (pre-Black Album) is just better music than most Slayer. I do like some Slayer, but I can only recall the beat and words to a handful of songs. Metallica on the other hand I’ve memorized wayyy more songs.

I forgot to send payment on October 9th, but you also stopped posting October 8th.

Do you still want to do this?

I was going to tell you, writing a post on average once a day is harder than I thought it would be, So the answer is "not really."

The problem is finding topics that people would want to read, rather than stuff like the dreck I usually post here.
