Do any of the old-timers know where Mr. Truth has been for the past 23 years? Did he just run out of political tests and decide to just stop coming around? What is the deal?

Erm, who? Fill me in, Spanky.

He was a real old-timer who was famous the forum over for his political tests, his tigers, and having two accounts (due to a technical problem with the first one). Older-timers than me (there are PLENTY of those) claim to have seen him reach Guru status with his first account within two days. His second account is still at Analyst level.

You asked where he had been the past 23 years - how long has this forum been up and running?

Was the internet even around 23 years ago?

I don't know if Force was even 23 years old. He was just a regular, a long-time member of the board and a really valuable one, too, I thought. He was pretty fond of quizzes and tests - always a new one and not always political - but they were interesting and so was he. It'd be nice to see him around again.

I'm learning more about word processing and other office skills from my father and I made it my New Years' resolution to have meaningful employment experience by the end of the year. It was my resolution in 2007 to get the GED and I did it, and one way or another I'm going to make good on my 2008 resolution as well. Thank you for your concern.

Does coming onto PF interfere with his having a meaningful work experience?

I think Force decided to change the direction of his life and finally get out into the world after being held back so long, and that included leaving the site (which he did spend a lot of time on).

Still, it would be nice to see him back.

That seems like a really good choice for him.
