I still vote "cubbyhole" as the worst name given to a usable space...

I think you forgot to take your medication. I still haven't a clue what you're talking about, but I will just add that it's more than a little insulting to have you keep referring to "us" and then post links to murdered homeless men. I suppose you find it funny, but really it's not. Anyway, I guess it's the proverbial two ships passing in the middle of the night, but I think you are the ONLY one who finds this amusing. Anyway... /end thread for rach2jlc

In San Francisco, this guy would probably be able to claim squatter's rights by now. That is, if Orsini hadn't killed him.

I've seen enough accidents and near-accidents with people rolling through stop signs or trying to jump the line at a multi-way stop during morning commute hours to differ with you on whether such tickets are "frivolous".

Not me! I was the one who advocated easing him out "nicely" (somehow), without getting in dutch with the DA, without motivating the guy to come back and burn your house down, without scewing up your Karma, while bing a gentleman, and with style...

A postscript to my part in this thread:
1. Thank you Rach2jlc for your reconsidered and thoughtful posts, often as answers to mine. Now get a pronouncable name.
2. I had identified with Orsini in this thread because early on it seemed like we were of similar minds (and ages). I now disassociate myself because of his erratic, unclever and somewhat stupid postings here. Goodbye, Orsini; Rach2jlc's my buddy now.​

Yeah, I agree with you that my screen name is both dull and hard to pronounce. Unfortunately, it is one that has been stuck to me since 1999 or so, when I started ebay and online forums. Like a lot of older posters, we never really expected to use the name that long and so didn't put much thought into it beyond something easy to remember. Mine is simply an homage to Rachmaninov's 2nd piano concerto (the "Rach2") followed by my initials "JLC."

I've had it so long now, I don't have the heart to change it! And, it's the same on every forum and ebay, so I think changing it would be confusing.

Put up a banner on your carport that says "Free Blowjobs" and see if he still stays there.
