Michael,

No. Johnbabe's threads about Garbo would be less of a problem if there were less of johnbabe's threads about Garbo. As you can see from my post, a TCMWebAdmin told him to stop. Shouldn't that apply, even with a different webadmin?

How do you know?

I know somewhere around here there's a super long thread on Barbara Stanwick but, its just ONE THREAD. That's the way it should be.

I guess he's upset it isn't on the front page every single day and that there are other actors who were good and worthy of discussion.

johnbabe, why don't you say anything about why you create so many, many threads about GG even though you were told by the TCMWebAdmin not to? And here is the thread where the TCMWebAdmin said for you to stop.

Maybe you need to see this again...this is from that thread you started called, of course, "Garbo":

i would like to know, that as a new fan of GG, why her films are always the same on TCM and when they are shown, they are shown at 6 AM like Camille today...many of us out there are new to TCM because our cable companies did not have it on their lists (like Optimum on Long Island) they only have TCM in the last 2 years, i have had it for 5 years because i moved to Comcast area and they have TCM, some of the persons on the threads get rather touchy - i am glad that they have had the privilege of TCM for 17 years and maybe they are tired of the real classic films, but that doe not help the new audience...i happen to love TCM and i think that you are absolutely fascinating, but please keep the older classics upfront, and why is TCM ignoring Garbo's birthday on September 18th....thank you.

I replied:

johnbabe,you are not a new fan of Garbo. You have been creating many threads about her since at least 2007. I haven't done a count for the years 2007-2009, but I did do a count for 2010 and this is the 28th thread you've created just this year regarding Garbo!!! WHY -- please tell us why! -- you can't just create 1 thread on GG and add to just that one, instead of creating several new GG threads each week???

Re: Garbo

Hello

This thread is now being locked. We currently have multiple threads on Greta Garbo. While we appreciate your love for Greta Garbo, we need to cut back on the amount of threads on this topic.

Thank youPete

you are not up on current books, my friend, there has been much news in recent months, etc., of Garbo's work during WW2 for the Allies especially the Brits - and of her "absence" from MGM for about 8 months in 1926-27- new books are coming out all the time about Garbo - you just do not know where to find them, also, a great book on her fashion influence came out last year and there are at least 4 or 5 books out this year or coming out - so i do not think she is boring and also, friend, most of the stars on TCM are all dead too does that make them all boring??????????????????????????????????????????

It would be more interesting with the Wayan Bros.

Now if Garbo had signed with Warner Bros.......interesting thought!
