Wise Words From a Former Foum Member
« on: January 17, 2026, 09:56:04 AM »
Many of the few of us old timers left will remember Jnevis. Today is his birthday, and today is also the third anniversary of his final check-in here. As I looked at him I was struck by his signature line. Wise words for us to ponder and measure ourselves with during this time.

Great nations rise and fall. The people go from bondage to spiritual truth, to great courage, from courage to liberty, from liberty to abundance, from abundance to selfishness, from selfishness to complacency, from complacency to apathy, from apathy to dependence, from dependence back again to bondage. Where are we now??????

Dadgum.  It has been over a decade since I've seen a post from him.  He's not that old.  Is he still among the living?

I also miss Solus and Billt.  I am somewhat convinced they still lurk about...but with little to post about.

And another (besides JayBet and Timothy) is TWYacht.  TW used to bring about quite a bit of insight and spirited conversation.

Hard to believe he's been gone for a dozen years now.

I think Pathfinder drops by but seldom posts here.
Tom T. (tt11758) hasn't been by in five years, but is on FB regularly and doing OK.
