He earned a permanent ban. That was an extremely insensitive post and totally uncalled for.

Some people just have no soul !!

With a heavy heart, I have to announce that the owner of Brown Cafe has left us. Tony Express passed away from cancer on May 7 and Cheryl passed on May 22. I don't know the reason and it doesn't really matter, I would like to think maybe it being from a broken heart. They met in high school and were together ever since. They both led a full life and had many adventures from what I know.

Cheryl's daughter announced this to the mod staff a couple of days ago and is now trying to decide what to do with her site. I spoke with her today and she would like to find somebody to continue her mother's vision. The Brown Cafe was her first website and started on October 12, 1999. It came about because Cheryl was involved with a Motely Fool UPS discussion board and didn't like how people were disrespected and bullied on there. Her idea was to have a place where people could have mature discussions about the company. She didn't care if you were a union member, management, liberal, or conservative. Cheryl just wanted a place where ideas could be discussed in a reasonable way. To this day, I never have known what her political stances were. Personally, as a moderator, I feel like I have failed her. Moderating a discussion board is a very difficult task I have found. I don't know the reason or who actually started disputes among different members. So for now, let us try to enjoy this place as long as it lasts. I currently don't know the future of what will happen.

Heard any good ones? Someone at work told me that there is a big acquisition announcement coming the week before the IPO. It's an Internet related company to add to the Internet presence of UPS. Expect something big

This site has been a wealth of information for every UPSer, management and hourly. I just retired last year and can look back through the old archives and marvel at some of the great comments by members that have ceased to post or have passed on. One of the questions to ask is why some of our B/C members have continued posting on this site for over the last 20 or 30 years when there was no hope of support from both the Company or the Union, maybe it was wishful thinking more than naiveté. It would be great for those who have retired to list their history dealing with this site and the old T-Net.

I'll start: T-Net posted under (Ohio Clerk) 2002 - 2007....Brown Cafe under (@Cezanne , @ O/C,@ Delacroix) 2007-Current...

For those true believers who continue to question unjust authority and are willing to go down swinging...way too many scared sheep out there so many of us will have to do it alone, do not aspect any official answers and be prepared for flack from both sides if you ask the wrong questions...
