Thank you, Wayne.

I strongly support your position and urge you to continue as you have always
done.

We could learn a lot from crayons: some are sharp, some are pretty, some are
dull, some have weird names, and all are different colors....but they all
exist very nicely in the same box.

Donovan, et al,

I post news articles and commentary for a number of reasons.

Not everyone has subscriptions to the various news services.  Although many 
probably don't read the things I post, some do.  I receive many off-list
replies 
and thank-yous for the information and questions about further sources.  [I 
sometimes get thank-yous and/or comments from some who disagree with almost 
everything I say and think I am the number one asshole.]

Part of my motivation is to encourage discussion with the issues these
articles 
deal with without first imposing my own radical views.

Articles such as the one on the Trail of the Coeur d'Alenes show interested 
readers the economic benefits of public investment in healthy, low
environmental 
impact, family oriented recreation.  Some community members may start
thinking 
about linking our local trails to the networks under
construction/consideration 
thus providing more healthy recreational and economic opportunities for our 
community.

I posted the article on the very unfortunate high rate of mental illness
found 
in returning vets from Iraq to publicize the need for us to lobby for the 
resources to make these vets as whole again as possible and not treat them
like 
veterans of past wars, many of whom are ignored, very poorly treated, or
seen as 
pariahs to be sequestered after they have served as our CIC has ordered.

The news/commentary posted on religious matters is intended to inform and 
generate discussion on the hypocrisy and other characteristics of selected 
religious professionals and/or organizations and about religious belief
itself.

Sometimes I do comment on the issues raised by the posted articles if they 
generate discussion.  Many times it is not necessary to post opinions
because 
others post lucid, well-written commentary on them.

would

it,
| especially ones with huge files that take up so much memory unnecessarily.
| Again, I know people have brains, why don't people share what is in them
