Hey Grif
Glad you are out n about again. I often wondered what you would think if you saw this or that while you were away. What do you think of the Be The Dealer ad on the front page of this site? You may have missed that when you posted this message. I figured you would roll over in your.....cot if you saw that, but I could be wrong. You may have had access to the web, but possibly not. I was kinda wishing that you did and we could get live reports or something. I could have even set you up to make you some good money while you were doing your pit stop so you had a BR when you got out. You missed Blackjack Forum Online, and its final no warning overnight closing. That is a bugger because they took down all of the postings. Arnold was posting there. They even had a ruff n tumble "Fight Club" where we riped the skin off of each other when our testosterone levels got too high. You missed Cellini, International Man of Mystery. Hope you enjoy catching up.
Yahoo is getting out of stuffing casino ads in front of you everytime you read a message, which is fine with us "little guys." They are still stuffing ads in your face tho, which remains a total pain. Wong's is covered with casino ads now too. Anthony Curtis turned Arnie's beloved BJF into LVAGO in one day which is covered with casino ads and devoted to online playing. I guess he was listening very carefully to me at BJF, which had an online casino forum. I've been called an online casino shill for recommending certain casinos to my team members, which I find absurd. That is like calling Ken Uston/Tom Hyland/MIT a shill for all the casinos their team has hit. The easiest way to see how commercial a site is is to post a link (with or without affilate code) to an online casino and see how fast it gets taken down. ;> The fewer minutes, the more commercial the site is.
"A special thanks to all of my friends and readers who wished me well while I was on vacation. I'm glad to see that this lone non-commercial board has somehow managed to survive without falling the way of other once-promising non-commercial BJboards! zg"
No problem. Hey, how are you accessing the net now, by cybercafe? How strict is the half way house you're in? Can you get out to play cards at all? It might be worse than the last spot you landed on in this big monopoly game called life.
Take care til next time,
Rob
