Oh, I didnt know you were ever banned.

I have allways respected you and thought you had an "IN" with ownership here, that they too respected you and, why yes, back in my staff days I do remember some talk of somehow honoring you...

Yes now i remember

What on Earth is the purpose of what you're doing here, Grandpa Troll?

Some people were picking on Ming and his family back when he gave a crap. A few people beat them off with sticks, myself included, and I was labeled an ass kisser afterward. Ming's gratitude lasted about a second and he buddied up to some of those that were picking on him. Started deleteing my threads, banned me repeatedly, even altered a post of mine just to screw with his old bud. Seemed to happen alot on Friday and Saturday nights, go figure. We all gotta get our fun somehow I suppose.

The admins were totally useless of course. Nobody helped me but a few other posters. Been ok for a while though. Now, I'm just along for the ride. My serious threads and input are few at this site. I invest nothing real, contribute less, as it could all change very quickly.

I don't care about Poly any more.

I do however like some of the people here so I'll hang out as long as I'm able or as long as the site lasts.

Which is where I am as well.

But such as life, and who can figure it out.

Poly is but a pimple on the speck of life that just now passed.

To show one and all, even though the authority of Poly has done some things a lot do not agree upon, they have in fact not stopped anyone from posting as some have expreesed herein.

Simply post away in the various forums set aside, not that hard to understand, well, maybe for some here

Thats pretty much it in a nutshell Winston

I think with the departure of asher/kh most recently and all the good posters of the last 3-4 years, as well as the splitting up of the otf, apolyton is pretty near death indeed.

to grandpa troll for the nice words, even if they do not seem to make sense

The loss of math discussions is certainly to be lamented.

But they do,

1-Post any acceptable topics in OT you wish to discuss

2-Post SPORTS THREADS in the Sports Forum

3-Post HISTORY THREADS in the History Forum

4-Post TECHNOLOGY THREADS in the technology forum


Just follow these simple rules and all will be fine.

Certainly this could be a common ground for all to agree upon?

As for my remarks about the Admin and the rules they have decreed set forth, dont let them bother you, simply enjoy yourself here

Some time I would be glad to lead a class on Mix Design compilation.

Just a few factors you need to know for checks and balances.

Just a few terms to remember as well.

Then of course, gradations and Specific Gravities as well as absorption values.

Maximum Nominal size of Coarse aggregate to determine cement factors.

Dosage rates of admixture based upon cement and cementious contents

Water to cement ratio based upon desired strength and durability requirements

Btw, I'm very amused to find now that "World Football", "Cricket", and "Rugby" are American sports. And STILL, Winston, nor his lackies, have posted threads in the Sports Forum about some wider discussion about sports or a non covered sport.

Of course they'll just say, "no one will participate", but that just rings hollow as a very convenient excuse. If its a good topic, people are going to contribute. If it isn't, then they won't. Don't tell me that people JUST look at the off topic, even though they see little lightbulbs up in the History or Sports forum if they are interested in those two areas.
