    I have no idea where those messages are any more. I recently lost a hard drive. For all I know they may have been on that. Of course I wasn't under the same oath of secrecy that other crypt denizens had sworn, nor did I ever have any respect for the crypt as an institution of CG, so there you go.

      You mean you don't open them up and read them on a regular basis to, you know, remind you of the good ol' days? I find that pretty hard to believe.

        Of course. You're under no obligation to delete those messages except the societal one which dictates that one ought not avail themselves of information that was meant to be private.

        It would be a gesture of respect (to a group who, I admit, has not necessarily given you that same respect) if you promised to delete them should you find them.

                  It was a friendly joke. I really wasn't trying to get your goat. I am Robin's biggest defender, and I consider him a friend. I am sure he took my post questioning another dupe account of his and chuckled.

                  I agree with you Rosebud. I love this board, but I think some take this hobby way too seriously. Robin is a great contributor and we would all lose if he was not a part of our community here.

                    If Rosebud is Robin I AM ASTOUNDED by his ability to divorce his personality from his Robin persona.

                    Rosebud is a straight-talker who sometimes sounds a little like that sister missionary who was 23 when you were 19 and never let you forget how much older and wiser she was.

                        There something a little jarring about the former Crypt community asking for a show of good faith on this.

                            Why, exactly? Are some people ashamed of what they posted in the Crypt?

                              Wrong attitude, JL. Don't be coy.

                                My bad. I guess it is more acceptable to just outright assume that people are ashamed of what they posted in there.

                                Maybe, in the spirit of truth and reconciliation, people could admit to things they regret posting and we can put all of this ugly business behind us.
