Sorry, Linda. <br><br>
I can't agree with you on this one. <br><br>
When there is "something" floating in the toilet, it is time to
flush. <br><br>
Not time to through out the toilet.<br><br>
<br>
V2020 hasn't lost its way. A skunk just walked by and sprayed
it. I don't think anyone liked the smell. Hopefully now the
skunk will go away.<br><br>

<blockquote type=cite class=cite cite="">Dear Bill and the 600
Subscribers of Vision2020:<br><br>
That tore it. The anonymous, libelous posting that prompted your
response,<br>
Bill, and mine here is so far beyond what might even possibly be
acceptable<br>
that it has finally and profoundly drug down what was once an
interesting,<br>
quirky, informative and even sometimes insightful exchange of
views.<br><br>
I believe it is time to have a moderated list OR to find some other means
to<br>
support the list, i.e., subscriptions or some similar mechanism. The
"free<br>
to be a libelous spewer" status of anonymous postings should be
ended.<br><br>
While there are some who may cheer at the demise of Vision2020, I cannot.
I<br>
can only express real sadness about the state of our civic
discourse.<br><br>
Bill, I believe you hold the keys on this, since this was really the
progeny<br>
of the Vision 2020 effort years ago. If anyone 'owns' the list, you do.
Ask<br>
First Step to take it down because it needs to be reformed. In its
present<br>
condition, it has lost its way.<br><br>
Thank you for your efforts to encourage Moscow's conversation; I wish
it<br>
could be civil again.<br><br>
All the best,<br><br>
Linda Pall</blockquote><br>
