Okay, I just FB messaged Dusty again, told him about our wondering about Garden Girl. I hope he looks in on the board and answers here or on FB messaging. @UtahTexan here's another thread that got this all started just in case you'd like to read this thread.

That did it! TKS!

Was it something with "Dallas" in it? 

BTW, I am so glad you are no longer limited, @Tacenda. Not to mention you the fact, you are now a contributor, a status I am not sure I ever obtained. Be that as it may, I am glad you can reply as much as you like. Because you are now able to start your own threads. Looking forward to hear (read) what you have to say, God bless my friend, i am happy for you.

I vaguely remember contributors as those who got permission to post in a substance only (no chit chat or rambling like I normally do) side forum we had for awhile.  It was to make the time investment for more academic posters less burdensome by removing the casual defender or critic and the babblers.  Didn’t really work that well.  If you didn’t have a conversation you wanted to contribute to, most likely there was no need to actually ask to be made a contributor.  I remember wanting to ask questions to clarify some weighty ideas, not sure I contributed anything myself of academic substance.

At this point, there is no meaning to it unless I missed it.

I don't understand how I became "contributor" status. Just thought it was because I post so much, never ending but I can't help myself, obsessed I guess.

Thanks Papa, I hope you're doing well. And glad your granddaughter is safe and sound hopefully, on her mission. 🤗

That forum was indeed for the elite posters to post substantive posts in. I received that status, too, but could never come up with anything I felt was substantive enough. Nice idea in theory, but not in practice. Like a lot of nice ideas.
