Title: Does Tom Ever Actually Post In "Dear Tom" ?
Post by: Days of Se7en on August 02, 2008, 07:03:02 PM

Just wondering.  It seems like "Dear Tom" is kind of a misleading title since aside from a handful of posts I can't recall ever seeing Tom in this portion of the board.   (I'm not suggesting that Tom should post more, but I might be suggesting that the "Dear Tom" part of the board could be a candidate for deletion)

Tom replies to questions sometimes, like in this post:

I guess if someone else answers the question, he doesn't see the need to respond.

Just wondering.

I think of it like prayer -- to be used in specific occasions, not for every single request. And never expecting a response.

Mokin and Senorcorazon have it nailed. I just show up when the question is too big for others to field. So yes, think of it like praying.

Tom.

Dear Tom,

Please take care of my grandpa up in heaven, and poison all of my enemies.

Amen

Dear Tom,

Please poison Regular Joe. He wants to kill me and I think I'm better than him.

Sincerely,

Julie from Cincinnati

Dear Tom,

This crazy drunk lady keeps trying to get me to kill her and I don't want to. Can you please make her realize I secretly want to be her milquetoast husband, not to kill her? Also, please don't poison me.

Thanks!
RegJoe

Dear Tom,

Please tell Regular Joe that he needs to see a psychiatrist four times a week for 3-7 years so that he can be normal. I think he's suffering from delusions.
