Take the test and find out just how much of a nerd YOU are! "You answered "yes" to 47 of 100 questions, making you 53.0% nerd pure; that is, you are 53.0% pure in the nerd domain (you have 47.0% nerd in you)."

Limited Newsvine Activity

I had an unpleasant experience with Newsvine Friday PM October 16, 2009. The web site "hung" repeatedly, and I suspect that the electronic malfunctions are damaging my software in my computer.

Will probably be gone soon - FED UP

While i still can i wanted to let my friends here know that i most likely won't be here much longer. I will either be suspended or banned. I couldn't take it anymore. The hypocrisy of some "moderators" if you can call him/her that.

Hey! What Happened to My EroticaVine Membership?

As the group owner I have purged the EroticaVine membership of any Newsvine members who have not been seen in the past 9 months. Anyone whose "Last Seen" date was before February 2009 was removed. There are a few others who will be removed next month.

What Is The Deal on Tech Problems at Newsvine?

I bought a brand new computer, an Intel Pentium. I came with Norton security. The first thing it does is that it recommends that I NOT enter Newsvine. Well, I did anyway. Now, four days later, Norton detected a threat.

Good News: Newsviner's Picks for August 2009 Is Now Up - Check Out Our Great Newsvine Writers

Newsvine DemGuys: They're Dems, They're Guys, and This is Their Treehouse?!

"Just because we're liberal, lefty, Democratic or progressive doesn't mean we don't need a treehouse to say things not for mixed company." Is this a joke? There are 70 members....and presumably, only they know the answer.

Little Media Coverage of Leonard Peltier Parole Decision

I'm fascinated that there's been, and continues to be, so very little coverage in the media of the parole hearing of Leonard Peltier. The Native American activist was convicted on questionable grounds of shooting two FBI agents 33 years ago.
