Mason's Q&A article (March 2005)

[DavidC]

Hey Mason,

Awesome article.

I hope no one makes a poll, because I've enjoyed them both.

Mason: I guess its time for me to eat crow. I was critical of your "sense of humor" three years ago (link below). I admit, your question and answer column was quite funny.

BTW: Are you the poster known as "Brown Thumb?"

he did indeed do wonderful.. no bs. was very funny.

there IS a poll here (http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/showflat.php?Cat=&Number=1808395&page=0&view=colla psed&sb=5&o=7&fpart=1)

it is a weird poll, but it speaks volumes. weird meaning there are 73 votes in that poll, and only 53 in the least favorite one.

so what that means is that 20 people felt so strongly about voting for that particular issue that they took part in the survey but had no opinion on the rest of the magazine.

ZIIING!! granny been pwned

granny trolls? 20 alias votes? nahhhh, it just was a good article.

however, i am now in forced retirement, so the vote won't matter much anyway. (pity votes still accepted tho)

here is how barr.. i mean mason, got me off the payroll.

from the article:

<font color="red">But there's a simple way to solve this once and for all. Perhaps one of our posters will put up a poll to find out for sure which column truly deserves the trash can. </font>

latest numbers:

Mason Malmuth
48 65%
GrannyMae
25 34%

looky here GWB.
*this* is a mandate. 49/51 is not a mandate.

trash can it is, though i don't know how to make up for that $1.93/mo loss.

With luck, that $1.93 was allotted for your Internet service that you must now cancel. /images/graemlins/mad.gif

Hi OSki:

You need to read "Young Jack Black" which is in my Gambling Theory book.

Best wishes,
Mason

i can't say for sure grannymae but it seems he is saying he is not a fan either.

[GrannyMae]

lol. ok, i see it now.

ty for the clarification

[jdl22]

I don't want to look it up as it would be painful to relive the horror that was your first column but didn't you get a question from the internet (maybe it was phone) company about you being delinquint (sp?) on payments? Probably referring to that.

No, I'm a big fan of Granny's. But despite the effort she puts into convincing everyone she's a sadist, deep down at heart she's masochistic. She likes this kind of thing.

[GrannyMae]

masochism is underrated. but let's ignore my deviance for just a moment and analyze something..

from my post above:
