Alert button

Paul in Cannon Beach

So what exactly happens when you push the "alert" button? I have wanted to push it on Ray a couple of times but never have.

Are sirens and flashing lights set off?

You know that thread in the "Using the Employers Forum" section about awards for number of posts? Well, it's not common knowledge, but there is a similar program for number of times you hit the alert button. After 5 times you get an all expense paid trip to MN to visit Larry C. in the middle of winter.

If you had mentioned Lutefisk I was going to hit the alert button 10,000 times in honor of Larry.

No, the highlight of the trip is visiting the Mall of America and a polar dip in the Mississippi River.

Ray, I was wondering what all those former forumites were doing at my door, saying they were here for there free trip.

I did make lutefisk for everybody. I ran out of lye so I substituted Comet cleanser and it turned out alright. After that we all went to the Kirby Puckett memorial service and then to the MOA for dinner at HOOters, but most of the group ended up leaving out of protest. A good time was had by most.

Maybe you should poll some of the former members that have been kicked off the island...I mean forum.

The Alert button is a high-tech, edge-of-your-seat drama like something from James Bond. xB-) Or the Pink Panther.

When you hit the Alert button, it creates a cutting-edge communication that we call "e-mail." x:o It's sent to wake up the Forum moderator on duty, xI-) who typically will wake up another moderator, and together they'll decide to do something, or maybe not.

We get very few Alerts anymore. And we only delete about half of the messages that people complain about.

:-? Maybe it's not so exciting after all.

James - After I read your post I immediately hit the "alert" button due to the unneccessary amount of emoticons not to mention your flippant and cavalier attitude.

Then I read that "abusing the alert button could result in having your account suspended" so I backed off.

That said, consider yourself "on notice".
