    @support @evan, how come ur1.ca is telling me: "Your computer is blacklisted; cannot make ur1s!". Did someone at my site abuse the service?

      Thanks for your quick response, @evan. Indeed,appears that ppl at my #cow-orking facility apparently enjoy participating in #cutwail #BotNet

      @tmarble Problem is, @bkuhn feels compelled to work in a #cow-orking facility. My theory remains that he does it for the comedy material.

      @fontana,I don't make the big salaries from the private sector like you, so I can't afford an apartment w/ an office, so I need office space

      @bkuhn here I must note the fact that you have opted to live in a high rent district. !notatroll

      Indeed my rent is high. Tough to find good places in !NYC that are centrally located: necessary for my wife's job hunting at the moment.

      @bkuhn I grew up in #Flatbush and later even farther out in #Bayside Queens (a !disturbing place). Parents both worked in #Manhattan.

      That was apparently the first dent with the #Flatbush hashtag.

      & yet, worst commute of all !NYC living experiences was #Ftrain from lower Park Slop to #SFLC. Worst subway line in 2000s.

      OK, not true. Q28 bus to #Flushing and then subway to upper east side in mid-1980s was worse than anything esp when no #7train express

      Problem I'm describing is needing central home base while looking for jobs across 5 boroughs. That's current problem my family faces.

      @fontana Did you ever see the movie "Lords of Flatbush" ? You're probably too young to have seen it.

      @bkuhn sorry, as a #NewYork city (and #Brooklyn ) native I cannot buy this justification

      @fontana I didn't know that, but the small part I saw convinced me that it must have been one of the ten worst films of all time.

      Not everyone is same as you. Anyway, is your argument my salary should be cut so I'm forced to move? I'm unclear what your position is.

      @lnxwalt280 I have also assumed it played a minor role in advancing the important 1950s retro cultural movement of the 1970s in the US

      @bkuhn no, if anything you deserve higher salary; hypothesize you could live in less #elite area for lower rent & afford home office space

      @mairin don't confuse @bkuhn w/ @sabdfl who has 2 #Manhattan residences IIRC but I believe @bkuhn is in gentrified part of downtown B'klyn

      @lnxwalt280 speaking of the '70s you also have to include the #SgtPepper movie starring Peter #Frampton & the #BeeGees in #TWFOAT

      @mairin @bkuhn's putative neighborhood in #Brooklyn is sociologically part of #Manhattan, one might argue !vnat

      @fontana I think that American Grafitti and Happy Days together were enough to spark the 1950s retro.

      @fontana I'll have to see if local #thriftstore has the DVD. I can always send it to #SonTwo or #GrandsonOne / #GrandsonTwo.

      @lnxwalt280 don't forget critical role played by #ShaNaNa's well-received appearance at #Woodstock in 1969

      @fontana I completely missed that. I heard of #ShaNaNa when they had their TV variety show in late 1970s.
