hehe yeah.. saw that on google earlier today, actually.

there's another CAPTalk that's actually CAP related. It's an old email list (used to be cap-talk@lists.cap.gov, now moved to sempervigilans.org). It doesn't have a very good reputation, though... some former members griping and making accusations about other members without proof.  So, when we were trying to pick a name for this forum, we liked CAPTalk, but because of the reputation, we didn't want to use it.  In the end, it won out, though. :)

I remember it.  It was a very, very negative board.  There was a core group on it that attacked CAP and the leadership at every turn.  If you defended CAP they accused you of being in cohorts with then Colonel Pineda and MGen Bowling.

Everything that went bad in their CAP Career was always the fault of someone else and that CAP was out to destroy them.

Hated it.

Yep, I don't bother much with gripers. "Some" CAP folks take CAP AND themselves WAAAAAY too seriously. After almost 42 years in, I do the best I can to help, enjoy what I do, and have FUN.  The day CAP ceases to be FUN, is the day I retire.  ;) I mean, why make CAP a hassle? If it gets to be too much, then I'm out, right? There is just too much out there to get all grumpy and upset, but then some folks can't LIVE unless they are into it with SOMEbody!!! ;D

For as much time and money as we all put into this organization, you might as well focus in on the GOOD parts of it that keep you coming back, rather than just [censored]ing and moaning about what you don't like!

I just went to captalk.org and a different website opened for me... orange background with some East Indian religion topics on the front page.  I think the other CAPtalk is out of business, as they say...

As Martha Stewart would say, "That is a good thing."

Now, it is a forward site for a blog page.

P.S.: I do know that this is a "Vintage" thread

Yeah, I remember the 'original' CAP Talk, even subscribed to it for about 6 months....I thought I could be cynical, but those characters were something else!

After awhile it was more 'negative karma; than I could take!
