When I joined there were a lot of well informed posters, so that in itself , became a deterrent for the off- the -wall comments. For some reason they left and it became a free- for -all session; I'm not quite sure how you would label our forum of today. We also had several threads going at one time which kept the trolls on the controversial ones, leaving room for a good debate on the other threads. That's my take.Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02668070524354374505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1674561724432497133.post-79429636697959576842011-07-06T13:35:19.107-05:002011-07-06T13:35:19.107-05:00I think we have a duty to protect the virtue of ou...I think we have a duty to protect the virtue of our city by saying smart things on the advocate forum.

Is it really nothing because the forum is going through a phase?<br />2. Have I worn out my welcome?<br />3. Is my blog contend no longer appealing?<br />4. Are the readers of our forum at an all time low?<br />5. Is it a combination of all of the above and something else?<br /><br />I'm not really worried about it because I'm retired and have the time for the traffic to pick up at VA. I'm just questioning whether I should devote more time to my personal blog or continue to write a blog at the VA that won't get much notice....It's just a hobby but I do have time invested.Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02668070524354374505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1674561724432497133.post-2853372612597309242011-07-06T09:25:25.387-05:002011-07-06T09:25:25.387-05:00EA

It would've been nice if the prosecution could have obtained a confession but the defense lawyer stood his ground and did not allow a deal to be made.He did not allow her to get on the witness stand and plead the fifth amendment. The fifth amendment is supposed to keep a defendant from incriminating themselves but it plants a seed of guilt in the jurors mind. On one of the four juries I've been on, one defendant pleaded the fifth and that's all the rest of the jurors wanted to talk about. I do agree that she was responsible for daughter's death and so does 95% of America but not according to the 12 jurors.<br /><br />As Rebecca said Twitter could increase your large group of followers. I suspect you e-mail a lot, so I bet there are times when you would save a lot of time by tweeting. One message that's less than 140 characters, goes out to the masses. When I complete my personal blog, a tweet is automatically created with a link to my blog..... The Advocate has a similar option.<br /><br />BTW you're very much into computers because you host a widely read blog using all the tools like hyperlinks, embedded enhancements, and Facebook to make your blog enjoyable to read.Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02668070524354374505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1674561724432497133.post-67563723455430847102011-07-06T06:53:40.361-05:002011-07-06T06:53:40.361-05:00**I don't think I could do the Bluetooth thing...**I don't think I could do the Bluetooth thing, but I do have hands free phone and voice activated commands for radio, climate, etc., and I like it!
