Jeopardy Champ

I kept trying to place Suey’s friend Arthur. I knew him, his voice and face but couldn’t place it. I even went through some old work emails thinking it was related to work (I’ve been retired for almost 5 yrs). Finally, I recognized him from Jeopardy! He was one of the big winners.

Anyway, I feel sorry for anyone who goes through something like this, but in today's times, if you put yourself out there, then you know the risks.

As an old timer, I was involved with Web design in the late 80's and early 90’s when a lot of stuff was fairly new. I also ran a message board group and learned through that how vicious and crazy some folks could be. It all left a bad taste and I decided I’d much rather lurk than stand out.

Yeah, I think I pretty much have the same reaction that you and most people on this board have.

The general rule of social media I've always heard is that if you say something on the internet, just assume that everyone has read it. If you keep that in mind when writing, you should stay out of trouble.

I will keep watching it as long as it is on the air. The events unfold in a way I'm not totally expecting, so it's not coming across a giant PSA announcement that I thought that this show would be.
