[Vision2020] Changing the subject header

[Joan Opyr]

I apologize to Ellen Roskovich for not having changed the "Meals on 
Wheels" subject header.  That's a problem with threads on this and 
other lists; they often lead us in different directions and the lazy 
(i.e., me) don't always remember to change the header to reflect a 
change in content.  What I was responding to was not the Meals on 
Wheels crisis but our local newspaper of record's failure to cover the 
story, a subject brought up by Tom Ivie and one that I thought relevant 
to Vision 2020.  I suppose the subject header should have been "What 
the hell's wrong with the Daily News?"

That said, I do not have a private joke going with Wayne Fox.  It's 
also not the case that I don't give a damn about meals on wheels.  I 
certainly do, and I have corresponded with Roger Falen offlist about 
the problem.  Unfortunately, my suggested solution, setting up a 
volunteer rota to make meals in our homes and deliver them personally 
until the program can be fixed, won't work because Meals on Wheels 
requires an inspected commercial kitchen.  That's too bad.

So, what is wrong with the Daily News?  How did it become such an 
irrelevant and clueless rag?  How reliant is the Daily News (or, 
rather, its reporters) on this forum for news, information, and, quite 
often, misinformation?
