Seriously Picard? I really hope your New Year's resolution is to stop trolling the forums here...


I am not trolling. I am worry about getting old.


Considering your endless inane questions and frequency of such posts, you have more life health issues to worry and think about then getting old...really.

Well, if the question is "how do you age gracefully?", the answers are readily available - wear your seat belt, stop smoking (or never start), keep alcohol consumption under control, eat a sensible diet emphasizing fruits and vegetables which will help you maintain a reasonable weight, and get the proper amount and type of exercise.

I am now 75, and I am really thankful that I adopted a vigorous lifestyle fairly early and never let my weight get too far out of control. I stopped smoking after high school, and my booze has tapered off throughout (primarily because I witnessed too many SARs where alcohol was a factor).

I will kick off some day, but i hope to remain vigorous and competent until that time. I can control some factors, while others are not controllable. No sense in worrying....

Happy New Year to all!

Betting older may suck but it's beat the alternative.

I'm grateful he comes up with topics to discuss. No one makes anyone read his posts.
If I really wanted advice I'd consult the professionals. Dougs gear guide on the home page is all you need to actually chose survival gear.
Forums are for conversation and hopefully some fun.
Keep em comin picard120!

Trolling? Nah. I don't think so. picard has over 700 posts and from what I've seen, contributes good stuff here. I think it's a reasonable question.

I do worry about age/sun spots. Not to the point of having them removed for asthetics but they are red flags for me. My dad has skin cancer so they're a reminder to use good sun protection and also a reminder to stay on top of my docs appointments and the changes that are happening to my body.

If there was ever a question about them possibly turning cancerous? Yup, I'd have them removed. Skin cancer is serious stuff.

700 posts of mostly nonsensical questions. In any case, I found out how to ignore users here and will no longer see his posts.

It takes all types to make a world.

Admittedly, this arrangement can be trying at times.

This is an ad hominem attack that promotes disrespect and incivility. To accuse Picard of mental illness is quite inappropriate, and as such your treatment of Picard is conduct quite unbecoming. I feel I should speak out for the sake of fairness and for the ETS members who witness such pointless aggression. I hope no one will emulate it and ruin this forum -- is this what's called cyberbullying?

It's the moderator's job to decide what constitutes trolling. We are not a lynch mob.

Why don't you take some of your own advice, and free us of the burden of your posts? Better yet, I see that you've found a way to make Picard's posts invisible to you. Please be so kind as to share that trick with me, because I do not wish to see your mean-spirited attacks on others. This is a forum of civility.

Thank you.
