We have even fought hard to defend your privacy in legal cases; however, we've done it with almost no financial support -- paying out of pocket to continue providing the service. Due to the issues imposed on us by advertisers, we also stopped hosting most ads on the forums many years ago. We hope you appreciate our efforts.

Subject: Rip VanWinkle

Tom Hanks is really good.
He's really good at relating to people like me.
His vision is to be someone like me, sitting in a place like I sit.
Except that he sits in a place much nicer than I do.
His thoughts are not more intricate or deep, however he can afford to dream.
I have spent too much time on dreams and time is the only currency I can afford.
I am a failure in my life.
The way I see it, I have not fulfilled the dreams I laid down before me to reach.
I haven't even made a good attempt.
Don't let your dreams fall down around you.
Don't find yourself in darkened rooms on strange substances talking about what you would do.
If you lay there too long you'll fall asleep.
You know the story of Rip VanWinkle?
What do you think that story was about? Waht was the motivation for the author?
Was Rip, someone that he saw in his life or maybe even himself.
I have awoken in the forest and all the things and people I knew are gone.
Everything has changed and I don't know the ways things are done.
