Just Remembering Threads

[nailit]

in a few years time (scores, if not decades) no one will remember anyone else anyway!
Its a nice thought/gesture but in years to come futile.

I thought the idea was that they were "banked"- so might be amusing in 100 years at least lol. But they don't all seem to be kept (look at A & N)... but it keeps us out of trouble for a while :-)

They are banked Pixie in most topics at least - just click on the 'answered' tab at the top of a category.

I used to be on MS news groups nearly 25 years ago now at the dawn of the internet. You can still find some and reading stuff I posted then is -well -interesting.....Everyone thought they were a techie cos they understood how to send an email -hilarious!

Ah, thanks mamya... it's not so clear with a phone x

I've been thinking of chiselling my name into the walls of a local sandstone church - immortality :-/

[pixie374]

I thought you believed in that, anyway, theland? I don't... which is maybe why I had children, fundamentally.

[woofgang]

when we finally got a "real" It department at work, they came around to do an inventory on what we had and what we wanted. They all looked about 13 and I remember pulling their legs because I had had a computer before they were born!

Pixie - my genes live on in six children, nine grandchildren, and one granddaugnter, and maybe a bit of church sandstone!

[pixie374]

There was no need, if you will be around eternally anyway.... but etch in a butterfly too please :-)

[Theland]

Wolfgang - they talk funny too!
Who can understand them?

'' So, going forward in time, and picking the low hanging fruit, whilst pushing the envelope, and not ignoring the elephant in the room, we need to touch base with ordinary working people, up and down the country,

[Theland]

Butterflies already well represented in this family. Long story.
Well remembered already :-)

The 'Answered' tab on Chatterbank takes me only to 2013. It's all there somewhere but I think you need to post a specific url to get anywhere near the older threads.

[Mamyalynne]

There could well be a limit on storage and perhaps some can only be found with a search - not every topic seems to go back the same length f time.

Maybe due to past changes in servers? Who knows.

[pixie374]

Thanks, naomi.... if I go to the actual topic (on a phone, at least), it only gives 17 threads. I was thinking more of newbies, who might just look. I know there are more available.
Whack it in, then, theland :-). But honestly, I am still surprised you are thinking about immortality and genes. I honestly believed you though that already happens?

[pixie374]

Thanks mamya, too.... not a problem, I just thought they might be easier to find for new people.
