If no one comes from the future to stop you from doing it, then how bad of a decision can it really be?

For a moment I thought Karen was Reina... I guess the Michigan affiliation threw me off, then I realized there's no way Reina could have 74 posts already

That said, Hi Karen

We're the new forum on the block

Nah, she still peeks into Crymic at times. I think everyone is getting used to the migration. She's still around, just probably crying in her beer about the pussification of Pau.

Ya, I dunno. There's like six posters over at the other place. Most are here or dont' show up anymore.

I need some sports talk. I am going nuts talking to little kids and the people I see at work.

I've been completely swamped last month with a new job....as can be seen by my 9 total posts.

Haven't even checked the other place -- been here like 3 times.

Well, looks like I can be the new guy for a bit, check out the college football forums, etc.

I think I've posted with most of these guys before, years ago.

During a press conference later, O'Mara was asked if he had any advice for Zimmerman, and he answered, "Pay me."

Matt Taibbi really hates GS: http://www.rollingstone.com/politics/ne ... print=true
To fully grasp the case against Goldman, one first needs to understand that the financial crime wave described in the Levin report came on the heels of a decades-long lobbying campaign by Goldman and other titans of Wall Street, who pleaded over and over for the right to regulate themselves.

Before that campaign, banks were closely monitored by a host of federal regulators, including the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, the FDIC and the Office of Thrift Supervision. These agencies had examiners poring over loans and other transactions, probing for behavior that might put depositors or the system at risk. When the examiners found illegal or suspicious behavior, they built cases and referred them to criminal authorities like the Justice Department.

But beginning in the mid-Nineties, when former Goldman co-chairman Bob Rubin served as Bill Clinton's senior economic-policy adviser, the government began moving toward a regulatory system that relied almost exclusively on voluntary compliance by the banks. Old-school criminal referrals disappeared down the chute of history along with floppy disks and scripted television entertainment. In 1995, according to an independent study, banking regulators filed 1,837 referrals. During the height of the financial crisis, between 2007 and 2010, they averaged just 72 a year.

When it comes to financial matters, allowing anyone or group to basically police themself is usually a bad idea.

It took me a few days to realize that everyone had left the last site.
BTW, is Sam tabulating the results of the playoff contest, or is he waiting for the resurrection of Skullduggery?
