I'm thinking vinnie meant threads like this one.
I doubt he reads politics and maybe 25% for me.
I read all general posts and IE probably doesn't but he reads all the handicapping posts and I hardly read any of that.

I got ya..
oh nobody misses out on reading this nearly 6 year old saga[I quit..take me back..I quit..take back..goodbye..hello I'm back] of the "White Elephant" in the room.
as absurd and childlike as it as become now it's a wonder you haven't be contacted by a major studio to make a soap opera entitled..
"The White Elephant"
* white elephant
A white elephant
Meaning
A burdensome possession; creating more trouble than it is worth.
Origin
White (albino) elephants were regarded as holy in ancient times in Thailand and other Asian countries. Keeping a white elephant was a very expensive undertaking, since the owner had to provide the elephant with special food and provide access for people who wanted to worship it. If a Thai King became dissatisfied with a subordinate, he would give him a white elephant. The gift would, in most cases, ruin the recipient.
References to Indian and Thai veneration of white elephants dates back to at least the early 17th century. The first reference in English to the idiomatic meaning of the term 'white elephant' comes in 1851 G. E. Jewbury's Letters, 1892:
Granddaddy would say..move along little boy ya bother me..
If and when it ends it will not be pretty..
has festered way to long and is aided and abeted by good meaning folks who are blinded by caring and friendship over common sense with the true understanding that all of us are ruled by ACCOUNTABILITY and RESPONSIBILITY in our lives..
Grown men learn this lessons early Either thru reward or failure..
Either way..we know if we have lived up to that credo..
The rest is being able live with ourselves ..
believe me..I am a man who learned this lesson the hard way..
I too was the "White Elephant" in room.

I haven't the time to read all of the posts in this forum, so maybe this has been touched upon. But one ought to be able to pick up on his new "handle" , if there is one, just by the spelling alone.
Unless he has someone playing the keyboards for him.
