The way I ended up here a year ago is proof that Google is losing all touch with reality

I had an Ebay auction which was won by somebody who gave an address in Mexico for a city that I never heard of. I wrote and asked him if it was a Colonia of Mexico City, but he never answered. Map searches turned up 3 towns in Mexico with that name, not near each other. This had become more trouble than it was worth. I googled México the state, trying to pinpoint one of those towns, and there was a link to The Cellar because the name appeared in a post supposedly from a helicopter pilot who posted a photo of a newly-constructed massive public housing project. Following the menus backwards, I got out of the photo section and into the "meat" of this website.

It helps if you don't stumble on one of our survivalist/guns post first

If I remember correctly, UT was spreading bread crumbs on a libbeytarian list 5k posts ago.

Funny thing about Word Association type threads, I think they do serve a purpose on Forums. I started one called Just A Word a few months back on a site I just left. Its now into 4000 posts and believe me the Forum was/is quite dismal. Their chat room had just died a horrible death and people were suspicious of the Forums. I think its the equivelent of a Chat Room "Hiiiiiiii" ...*wavy smiley emoticon* lets people know youre around but not in the mood for specifics.
