[Vision2020] The Challenge

[Glenn Schwaller]

Gee I dunno . . .  maybe it's just to radical for even this group, but I
can't imagine ANYone would think it's a bad idea to refrain from posting
insulting, demeaning, namecalling and character assassination that tries,
but fails miserably, to pass for witty repartee.  This nonsense is supposed
to show those outside (and inside) of our community how we "encourage more
public information and debate" and "participate in the future of our
community" ??
