As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Our latest GSR revision spit out a message when I signed in today.
I thought it odd, as the message was from 2018

Do we have some AI visitors or is the Forum telling me something.?


The message was sent shortly after meeting a remarkable GSR member, Highway Glider

Hi Daniel

I know I said ?thank you? a few times today, but I think I should explain what lay behind it.

I cannot explain how it works, as I do not understand it: something about you awakens parts of my brain and makes me think in more directions. It began awakening while we sat together but I did not recognize it for what it was until later.

After I got home and was telling my wife about you we got into scientific considerations and how personal interactions work between people , as well as why some people differ so much from others.

As a scientist hersself, she is one who has no problem shunting aside the words of some in the scientific community that suggest it should be otherwise, and she continues being a strong believer in God.
It helps keep us close.

I am not sure why I opened up so much to you today, as I tend to hold most of it inside, knowing that most people can be overwhelmed by it, and because it falls so far outside of what they consider ?normal? they will react negatively. I suspect some of what I spoke of likely pressed your own thinking and belief to their limits., however you are very gracious and let it go.

Thank you for that.

My wife commented that I was obviously happy when I got home, and wanted to know all about you.

Of course, I spoke of your trip to California and she wondered about the lack of planning. She knows I do many things almost spontaneously,. My own trip to Nova Scotia was decided on a Friday evening when I called my daughter to be sure it was OK with her, then got the bike ready and departed Saturday afternoon. It was a trip of a lifetime as I got to share the riding experience with her as went all around the Cabot Trail.

My wife still thinks cross-country travel needs some planning. I tried to explain that spontaneity is not necessarily a lack of planning, but instead is a frame of mind that readies one for dealing with unusual circumstance with the expectation that whatever life presents can be experienced as moments of learning, as well as for the innate enjoyment that such moments provide. As I see it, when thinking in this manner caution is neither disregarded nor cast out, but is intelligently adapted or adjusted to meet the circumstance and this permits visiting parts of life and nature in ways so many of us entirely miss in the contrived mundanity we live in every day..

John Lennon said that ?Life is what happens while you are busy making other plans.?
There is a lot of truth in those words. I am truly pleased to see that you understand those thoughts.

You are a man I would like to have as a friend.

Ride safely.


Ron
