Sandi -- Please remember, your definition of "legitimate" is not the same as everyone else's. Some of us like drivel! <BR>

Well Sandi, what can you expect out of elvira? She's her own biggest admirer, although what there is to admire about loud, fat, ugly and obnoxious is a mystery. She's either on this forum or traveling because she has NOTHING else to do with her useless life except to park her ample ass in front of a computer and and start talking out of it.

Correction: that makes two people who are envious of Elvira. Blow and Sandi are awfully sad specimens, huh. Which one is more pathetic? Blow is. At least Sandi has the guts to be nasty right to Elvira's face. Blow is just a coward. <BR> <BR>Blow, when you are about to click that mouse to stab at Elvira again, think about maybe using your own name. Chicken. <BR> <BR>Elvira, the sane people here love ya!

Sandi, <BR>There are really only two categories on this forum and that's all that is needed. One is comprised of those postings that ask or respond to questions on the various aspects of travel from accommodations, to airline seating, to what to see, what to do. The other category is a catch-all that may be travel related, may be spam of a sort or the opportunity for posters to exhibit their wit, wisdom, humor,lack of manners and proper upbringing, abrasiveness, whatever. There is no need to request Fodor's to monitor postings. Each individual is his/her own best monitor. If I see a posting or query to which I feel competent to respond, I do. If I don't, I don't. It's not my role nor my desire to inflict my tastes, criticisms, prejudices and eccentricities upon others. I am a guest of Fodor.

My goodness. How cruel some people can be. Elvira, please ignore these imbeciles. How about no more posts to the thread and let it fall to the bottom where it belongs.

Sandi, if you're going to propose categories, let's be careful to get them all: <BR> <BR>10. Is that Haggis? <BR>11. What's the deal with the plumbing? <BR>12. When are these dang foreigners going to learn to drive? <BR>13. I'm lonely; where can I find romance? <BR>14. I'm insecure; please console me. <BR>15. I'm bored; please entertain me. <BR>16. Will the plane crash? <BR>17. How much is all of this gonna cost? <BR>18. Where can I get a face cloth around here? <BR>19. How much cleavage can I flash at the Vatican? <BR>20. Moles. <BR>21. Trolls. <BR>22. You people need to get a life. <BR>22. What almost made you hurl? <BR>23. What is this stuck to my shoe? <BR> <BR>I think that's it.

Cindy, <BR>You forgot... What's that hole in the ground? <BR> <BR>I think Sandi is a Loon wantabee. <BR> <BR>Cheers!

A couple more: <BR>Why can't these foreigners even get their trains to run on time. <BR>and: <BR>When are these people finally going to learn english.

Still missing the point, one last time: If we had to post to a "category" and it had to resemble some "travel" topic, instead of crucifying fat people, those who smoke, those who dare to mispell a word, etc., then there would be more REAL information out there. And it seems to me that most queries fall into one of several categories. I just get tired of spooling and spooling to get to something real. This junk is a total misuse of the intended purpose of this forum, and Fodors should get feedback on this subject, after all, they have requested it.

Cindy, here's a few more: <BR> <BR>30. Stuff that annoys Sandi. <BR>31. Where can I purchase a sense of humor? <BR>32. What about my needs? <BR>

Sandi, You're still missing the point because you DON'T WANT to see the point. <BR>Well, here it is, as plain as the nose on your face: not one person that has posted to your little declaration agrees with you and thus majority rules. <BR>It's quite simple, really.

How can anyone trust a person who misspells "misspell"? (That's you, Sandi.)

48. Finest jacuzzis in New York.

49. Rolls of film/SLR vs P&S <BR>50. Where would you like to see Sandi marooned? <BR>

So, has anyone been anyplace interesting?

"Has anyone been anyplace interesting" = "What does this have to do with travel?" <BR> <BR>Why are you reading this thread and interrupting if you claim you aren't interested? Please stop.

Well, even though there was an obvious, clear and strong opposition from the users to this type of format, Fodor's went ahead with it anyway. Bad move.

Wow: Now we can all relax on this one...are we tired yet? Can we now get to the point. Mr. JQPublic is sure a drag.

Sandi <BR>You forgot the most important ones and they should be added to your list: <BR>1. Is it OK to wear hot pink stretch pants and white running shoes? <BR>2. Do the natives speak English? <BR>3. Why do all the Europeans smoke so much? <BR>and <BR>4. How much is that in REAL money?

Wow- you guys are harsh!!! How will a newcomer feel comfortable posting comments and questions if they think they will be lambasted for having an opinion that may not be popular with everyone else? I'm sure the point of the forum wasn't to tell people how stupid or what an idiot they are. Jeez- watch those claws wouldja.
