THIS..."Linemans" Board

[Old Line Dog]

Ya know, I been on this board for almost 20 years. I Love this board. I joined it, when it started, in 1998. STILL Fuckin here!

There's still some old timers here who remember the "old days".
It was a combination of "The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly", but MAN was this board ROCKIN, EVERY Night!!!

Linework has changed ALOT over the last 20 years.

I see, there are still, 60-70 "guests" on here every night. Nobody seems to actually SAY anything though...cept for the occasional Regulars...

Like I said, "Linework has changed in the last 20 years"...so has this board.

Any of you "New Linemen" got anything to "contribute"?

OH..By the way...the Forum has been down for 2 days. I emailed Byron. Thanks Byron, for gettin it back up.

"Linemen" just don't Talk no more...

I would have emailed Byron but I don't have his email address. I am glad we are back in business.

I just mentioned the other day in the bull pen how quiet it was and I realized it was because most all of the new generation were sitting there glued to their flat phones, no conversation just pecking away at a flat phone, I told them it was depressing, they just looked at me like I was crazy. I have realized more and more as of late that I am way outnumbered, but I'm getting much closer to the end of my sentence. Charlie.

I don't think lineman have changed that much but policy has. It is a new world where you have to be conscious of everything you say, how you say it, where you say it, and saying too much at the wrong time. Lets be honest, many linemen are half drunks and on the road most of the time. Go to work, go to bar, repeat. Most linemen are also extremely intelligent. Intelligent enough to know to control themselves in everything they do and say. I wouldn't doubt many consider posting not worth the consequences.

In this trade it is remarkable what can be covered up and that angers some saying it should be more open. They want it more open until they screw up and want it covered up:rolleyes:

That's why I always advise apprentices to be careful how you handle gossip and incidences because one day it will be you. How you acted towards others will be how they react towards you.

I think the ugliness ruined it for a bunch of guys. I was called in the middle of the night once because one of the former zealots figured out how to get my home phone number. That caused concern for my wife. I've stayed low key since.

Wow, that sux Duck.

I am sorry to hear that Duck, it's a dang shame that a certain element insists on acting like children!
