Re: How can one get to the User Control Panel(UCP)?

Thanks, ex-Andy. That took me to a display that included the comment "Registered users This is a special group, special groups are managed by the board administrators." That's as far as I got. I take this to mean that there are no Special Groups in existence at present. If I want to start one I shou...

Re: Another good TV Series

Snailgate, you appear to be facing this issue as an administrator. My wife and I faced what to do with a non-verbal kid 55 years ago. We approached the problem as prospective customers. My wife spent years bouncing off the many services in the L. A. area on what was the cause of the problem, and wha...

How can one get to the User Control Panel(UCP)?

The FAQ describes an interesting option called User Groups. You can get to a User Group by going through the UCP. I can't find an icon anywhere that will take me to the UCP. Is that feature removed from this system?

Re: Another good TV Series

You have it backward, snailgate. Autism was detected before Asperger's. Asperger's is a minor form to describe a less severe case of Autism. If one had a choice you'd rather be identified as someone with Asperger's rather than Autism, which can incluide much more severe problems.

I can't talk about that. Were you able to access either one of the two programs I described here?

Another good TV Series

Astrid We’re watching another series from PBS with the title above. The star is a young woman who is on the Autism scale. Shot in Paris, in French with good English subtitles, she is a file clerk in a police station. Although it is beyond her job description, she reads all files that come in, and re...

Frankie Drake

This is part of the title of a show about a woman detective who works in Toronto, Canada in the 1920’s. It is on the PBS website, for DVR usage at your preferred time. There are about thirty one-hour sessions stored there. We’ve just finished seeing them all. The story is a bit eccentric and implaus...

Apologies to all

4. Recruitment of more active members is my current interest. Seeing these silly posts isn’t conducive to getting more people to join in. To quote one of the old-timers I contacted, “I don't know if I'll be more active, it is not rewarding to visit a place where the venom of the few has infected mos...

Squabbles

2. Burning Petard, that line at the top of the page, “…but above all ARGUE”, misleads the Fight Clubbers here. They interpret as “…SQUABBLE”, I suggest that last word be changed to “ CONVERSE IN A CIVIL MANNER”.

Making suggestions on improvements here is dangerous. If you don’t understand Voltaire’s Dr. Pangloss’s theory that “All’s for the best in this best of all possible worlds. . . . “ you have unforgivable effrontery in making suggestions here.

Re: Something to ponder.

I agree with Ex’s and other posts above that request that this site stay alive. I’m willing to contribute cash and other services to split up the labor involved. Being of good health but 85 years old I shouldn’t volunteer for any post that would suffer if I suddenly disappeared, but I could do some ...

I’ve been lurking (just watching posts here but not responding) to keep some contact with old friends like Ex-, Mc-, and others from the Café Datre days, and playing Hearts to fill in the spare time. My wife has informed me that my time on Hearts is now excessive, so I’ll start posting again to wast...

She won’t even discuss the subject now. TPF, you’ve had the longest-lasting after-effects among any of my acquaintanc...
