  NOT FOR SALE (@lexanfs) reported 2 minutes ago

  Earlier, AOL tried to give me a fake message, i.e., "this email has been deactivated due to inactivity." It wasn't deactivated after multiple attempts. AOL, every email service, & every business humans use to communicate with one another, has a responsibility not to participate.

  @txsinatrafan I still have an AOL email address. If it ain’t broke, why fix it? Have had it for 30 years.

  Since I have been casting aspersions on "Agile as Practiced in Nearly Every Project with a Certified Scrum Master", I should tell you about some projects I was on that worked. One on the most interesting ones was during my Network Management product development phase. I was hired by ARINC to work on software for the Iridium project. Shortly thereafter, one of the directors came up with an idea for a commercial product. He wanted a no code drag and drop UI to create a GUI to show and control SNMP values. We went to two Networld-Interop shows a year, one in Las Vegas and one in Atlanta. He wanted a new minor release for each trade show. The product owner would give the dev team a list of prioritized features. The five developers would meet and decide what we could do by the next release and worked in order of priority. That's it. Simple and effective. The code was written in C/C++ and was written to run on Windows, SunOS, HP-UX, and AIX. We used a OSS GUI library called InterViews. It integrated with HP OpenView and IBM NetView. From a business perspective, the project was a failure. We made sales, but not enough. Eventually the project was terminated an we were all laid off. That is when I was hire by AOL, but that is another story.

  Don’t know if this puts AOL in a bad light, the @GOP in a bad light or both.

  @oelma__ Nope. Not really. I remember when yahoo and msn came along. I had AOL at 2.0. (Can't remember the name of the service before them, but it only lasted 2 hours and cost too much to keep going.)

  Yahoo has really followed the demise of Excite, Netscape and AOL. Terribly sad. Very poor management.

  How do all these people have 10s of thousands of "followers"? People that don't necessarily post anything new or just re-posts of other peoples' thoughts & work. I don't get it. I've been a member for a while now (w/ THIS acct - my orig was cancelled by Twitter during COVID for telling the factual scientific truth about masks based on my years in Bio-Nanotechnology). Is it strictly from those "Follow" train lists? I learned early on to stay away from those - I check out EVERYBODY I ever follow first & personally (not necessarily relying upon Grok's "Profile Summary", although those may get me interested to take a gander). I try to engage those who engage with me and avoid silly flame-wars. I don't post to GET followers, I generally post current stream-of-consciousness thoughts, what's on my mind at that moment & not really organizing them into proper English "articles". Plus I'm not really good at pithy comments - I speak from my heart & soul and EXPLAIN myself & my reasoning for coming to different conclusions. And I typically don't engage in irrational, emotional hyperbole & name-calling. I truly want to know what others think and LEARN (you're never too old to learn!). For DECADES on BBSes (Bulletin Board Systems - pre-graphical internet days, modem-connected social systems for discussion, research & debates), the Usenets (newsgroups, pre-graphical/HTTP/HTML internet days when time on the internet was purchased through 3rd party vendors like CompuServe by the hour - 70s & 80s, pre-AOL (which is slightly pre-HTTP/HTML/Mozilla-Netscape graphical internet revolution) - where everything was command-line driven in ASCII, EBCDIC, ISO set or ATASCII or the like). Am I just too old, boring, long-winded, obnoxious, opinionated or what? I know its annoying with me posting about my health, but I've gotta vent SOMEWHERE and NO ONE on X knows me personally. Not that it matters so much now, I'm heading down the stretch-run to Home plate, but even paying for Elon's blue-checkmark, I don't get many hits/views or responses/engagement, it is pretty comparable to my "free" account that I use solely for NFL stuff where I have 1 whole "follower", which is probably one of those online ho-bags. It's not that I'm looking to "earn" from X and I'll NEVER post things just for click-bait value. I'm just really curious how these other accounts accrue so many followers for literally not doing much,
