Hi icicle,
I'm going to get you one of those pill organizers so you won't keep
forgetting to take your meds. ;)
Everybody knows you dislike Tommy. That's okay, you don't have to like
him if you don't want to. The thing is that you can't disprove that
Tommy didn't found The Fort. There are still webpages in existence on
some people's computers that are captures of Tommy's original posts.
The Wiz has them, Ninja has them and KidHacker (who posted just over a
month ago and is still very much alive) still posts them on the Fort's
Birthday once in awhile.
It's true that the prettyboy newsgroup was already in existence when
Tommy and his friends discovered it. But it was abandoned and that's
why the boys decided to play here. 'The Fort' didn't exist until Tommy
and his friends arrived.
If you have evidence to present that shows otherwise, I would love to
see it. If you have some information to add to The Fort FAQ feel free
to post that too. It is a work in progress and there are many holes
that need to be filled. Arguing about a paragraph that simply gives
background to the existence of a larger community is pointless. You're
an important member of this community and your input is valued.
Thanks for all you do.
Doc
