OliveOyl, are you here?
 
I asked you a question on the Newport Cliffwalk thread. Thanks.

and she'll go back and answer if she wants to.<BR><BR>Since when has this board become a "are you there" board?? If you have somneone's real e-mail address, e-mail them. Otherwise, if they're interested in answering a thread, they will. It's kind of insulting to many regular, helpful posters to call a thread something like "Howard, Owen, any NYC advice??".<BR>(no offense to Howard or Owen, their advice is uaually great, but this is a public forum, not a private chatroom)

Relax xxx! I don't remember anyone appointing such a whining schizophrenic in charge of this forum!

Olive Oyl has more extensive knowledge than most about certain things, partly because her husband is a Hyatt GM and she's intimately familiar with that particular business and many of its properties.<BR><BR>nina was asking for OO for a good reason, xxx. <BR>Relax.

She recently posted a response to the question about a romantic restaurant near Tarpon Springs, so I know she's alive and well.

xxx,<BR>You're an idiot.

Agreed, OliveOyl is a great reliable resource. I just think it's overkill to be "summoning" individuals, by name, as separate post, on a travel discussion board. People know what their strengths are, and most times there's been a question about Hyatts, Olive has graciously contributed details. So if you want info on Hyatts, just post that as part of a title.If she can and wants to (and this applies to all our "experts"), she will. Just leave it at that. <BR>If you're really only interested in the opinion of one person, and not the vast audience that is this (and other) forums, maybe you need to find a way to contact that person. Oh wait, maybe they list a pseudonym and fake address--(makes sense, most of us do) and don't necessarily want to be contacted directly by all individuals who read things here. <BR><BR>The posters here are the source of some of the greatest, most accurate and truly useful travel information I have ever gotten. But I don't ever plan to confuse the knowledgeable people here with my personal friends and acquaintances and solicit individual information from just one person. Sometimes, you get more information from the people you aren't expecting to hear from.<BR><BR>Enough for now...<BR><BR>p.s. obviously it was computer glitch that posted my original "diatribe" twice--I'm not that tightly wound up!

x Oct 1st, 2002 12:23 PM

xxx, yes you are that tightly wound. Why else would you carry on so. Why don't you butt out when you're not wanted. Just because no one asks "Were's that creepy, angry, good-for-nothing xxx, I have a question" are you jealous?

nina Oct 1st, 2002 12:35 PM

xxx, Thank you so much for clearing me up on the rules of this forum, as I haven't read the manual.<BR><BR>P.S. I really only do want Olive's opinion on this particularly matter. Sorry, but all is not lost, you've managed to get your 2 cents in anyway.

Jen Oct 1st, 2002 05:39 PM

xxx are you there?????????

xxx Oct 1st, 2002 05:49 PM

You can bite my schwantz nina.<BR>You need to get a life with your have the last word obsession.<BR>This forum isn't your private little therapy group. Don't they provide those free of charge any more in the state prisons?

xxx Oct 1st, 2002 05:50 PM

That wasn't me, nina.<BR>That was an impostor xxx.

mmm Oct 1st, 2002 10:32 PM

VERY offensive and incorrect use of "schizophrenic" by yyy.
