You can't blame me for trying

that forum got shot down last week, really. You can hear the echos and see the dust motes in that giant empty space, now.

I stop by once in a while to hear the sounds of silence.....................

Hello darkness, my old friend,
I've left to talk SU again,
Because a vision softly creeping,
Left GG while I was sleeping,
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains
Within the sound of silence.

In restless dreams I sketched alone
Narrow streets of cobblestone,
neath the halo of a lamp component,
I turned my mouse away from cold and damp
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of
TFT
That split the night
And touched the sound of silence.

And in the naked light I saw
Ten thousand people, maybe more.
People talking without speaking,
People hearing without listening,
People writing msgs that Google never shares
And no one dared
Disturb the sound of silence.

Pro's said oh,you do not know
Silence while our forum grows.
Hear my words that I might teach you,
Take my arms that I might reach you.
But my words like silent raindrops fell,
And echoed
In the wells of silence

And the masses bowed and prayed
To the neon God they made.
And the site flashed out its warning,
In the mess that it was forming.
And the Pro's said, the tutors of SUP
Are written on the Sketchucation board
Great rubies too.
And not heard in the sounds of silence.

Wow, Maggy, that was awesome.

Why do I feel that we will be referencing parts of that song for years.

"Pro's said oh,you do not know
Silence while our forum grows.
Hear my words that I might teach you,
Take my arms that I might reach you.
But my words like silent raindrops fell,
And echoed
In the wells of silence"

That is some good stuff right there!

You're all welcome to quote those lyrics, but for all honesty and for the youngsters in this forum I have to thank Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel for laying the foundations.
