Originally posted by Brown: How did 'Where to find AJ turn to 'I thought i was AJ'? This is how: Originally posted by US_MARINES: DONE DEAL AJ

Originally posted by Brown: Heres a freindly and brotherly advice. Let it go. Else? ...you know where to find AJ I thought I was AJ. Let someone make sure he/she doesn't go after the wrong person.

Originally posted by Brown: So whats the deal? So, there's the deal? Edited: Brown, I am disappointed of your editing, and skipping the answer. Nevertheless.

Originally posted by A laina: You mean you don't know him personally Indeed. But, he knows me. Originally posted by Brown: You are on to something here... Probably.

Originally posted by Brown: Do you wanna answer the ORIGINAL question. I am not sure about that. I think, you might have erred in misusing the words about the ORIGINAL question, since you have again erred in misusing the term private.

Originally posted by Brown: his name? private life? Are we doing the usual hadaad circles or you gonna step up to the plate this time? This is a challenge for you, should you fail, you confirm your incompetency; produce the link(s) where I stated or mentioned his name and/or private life. The other thing, stating or mentioning his private life would indicate I know him personally; I don't think that's logical.

Originally posted by Brown: Perhaps i should remind you also of the whole incident that transpired becoz of this?(AJs thread?,You know what am on here? There's no need to remind me of that. The officer knows I am AJ, it took him less than 2 hrs to find out who I am, where I am posting my messages from, and it will take him less than that to be at my door step. Unfortunately, he failed. Originally posted by Gediid: For crying out loud Haddad yes she's HOOOOOOT and stop it there. OK, you made your point. Originally posted by Brown: Shouldnt you also tell her how you purposely on more than several occasions dragged his name,profession and his private life into conversations that didnt need his name? his name? private life?

Originally posted by Brown: Are you against the fact that he is a MUSLIM and an officer in the US MARINES? So, you know the fact? You finally come out of the closet, admitting you personally know the officer. There was no need to hide it. Originally posted by bilan: if you're serious and know where he is why do not you fly to him, and get even with him away from us? It's the other way around; he claimed that. Perhaps, you should read better, to understand better.

Originally posted by Brown: You are purposely looking for a fight, to get even? Maybe. Perhaps, you could be a worthy challenger?

Originally posted by Aykutubeey: I hear US marines is very very dangerous. What you have heard is hype. Pehaps, you have watched too much Hollywood movies. Understand, the reality in life differs fundamentally from those movies. Iraq presents an ample example. Those in the business know it, and would discourage using a civilian tone like yours. The challenge is over. And no, there's no winner or loser, as it was what it's; a virtual challenge. But, I have to say, all what the recruiter has managed to prove is; incompetency.

An hour has passed, another hour to go for the challenge to materialize. I will be disappointed if what Kashafa said (You know damn well empty threats mean jack squat on cyber-space) turns out to be true.

Originally posted by Brown: But dont you think you are better off being 'cool'? It's not that it's better to be so always. There are exceptions.

Originally posted by Brown: Just out of curiosity,Whats your beef with this MAN? Well, that's between me and him. I don't believe it's appropriate to involve others.

Originally posted by Brown: Officer He's not an Officer, but an application filler.

Originally posted by US_MARINES: ...and it will take me less than that to be at your door step. I am up for the challenge.

Originally posted by shyhem: The transformation of my face happens at a time of my own choosing. I guess life in the West has softened the nomad in you. All what is left of you is harmless words. I guess the same applies to the recruiter.

Originally posted by Raxmah: When nothing seems to be going right, what motivates you to stay focused? I have never experienced a state where nothing seems to be going right. I have experienced a state where a few things seemed not to be going right. What motivated me to stay focused is the help, guidance & counsel of those who have experienced it before me. Seeking help, guidance & counsel from those before you is the best option, because you get informed of what to expect and how to solve it. Being on your own, trying to solve it through your own way, the uncertainties and doubts of the unknown make you pessimistic and more apt to fail.

Originally posted by Salgod: What do you think are some similarities or differences between Somali culture and the Muslim religion? You can compare similarities or differences between cultures, between religions, not between a culture and religion.

I have used the Internet for the first time in 1996. Back then, AltaVista was one of the most famous seach engines. I remember there was a Somali site named Nomad Net, where a certain Michael Maren used to post articles. Fortunately, there's Internet Archive, a site that provides a snapshot of what websites looked like in the past. For example, the following is a snapshot of SomaliaOnline on October 02, 2001:
