The man is 97 years old and still builds cars.
I don't have many famous people I deeply admire, but he is one. He built the set cars for bladerunner and several other movies. That's how you know him.
He said the day he's done learning he'll pull the dirt over him himself. I can so relate to that. He also said loving what you do is the key to life.
I will probably die somewhat younger than he does, on account of my vices, but I will be working until I do. I love what I do.

... sorry CP, but do you really like to let 16,006,341 members in the dark?
Also advertising seems to be down, very bad sign...

Edit: I just nuked the whole post. I'm just done wasting time arguing with people on here. I'm too grumpy and you can lead a horse to water...

Are you in love with yourself in any way?

I mean at least admit you didn't read the post.
Anyway, that's a trick question, if I say yes you'll say I'm a narcissist. If I say no you wouldn't believe me. Let's just say, I probably don't belong here, but it's still my online home.
What's your point though? Even if I were a narcissist that doesn't mean what I said about CP is wrong.

I can now lift £100 worth of groceries with one hand ... I couldn't do that 45 years ago!

Around here (US) that was like 2 or 3 years ago.

One proposal in the earlier thread is to have a rota of setters instead of WSO - this begs the question, who is willing to be a setter on a rota basis - I'm in

Yep, count me in.
Set up a new User Group for setters - they ask to join you and get accepted.
That gives you both a forum to formalize the rota, and a pool of users to call on.

While I applaud the initiative, the optimist in me cannot help but wonder if it's any use, given the current zombie management of CP.

I must have missed something here. I know that Chris and Matt have left, but I don't think the hamsters have been left completely unattended. What do you know here that I don't?

I don’t have any inside information, but I just notice that there has been not even an official peep about all these changes. Past (sad) experiences make me think of some corporate overlords who don’t know what to do with a newly acquired property. We’ll see…
BTW I think it’s safe to add Kent to the MIA gang.
