one of the women who wrote recently. I heard the comments about V2020 before I
wrote also but hoped to be able to keep on task. I have failed I know
but do still have hope we could do some positive things for Moscow on this site.
But, then again maybe something new is a good idea.</FONT></DIV>

Moscow discussion website? I was looking for something about current local

<BLOCKQUOTE><BR></BLOCKQUOTE><BR><?bigger>Dear Visionaries and "Ken,"<BR><BR>I
don't know about the rest of you, but I'm noticing a trend here. In the past
week or so, we've had three messages from three people -- people that I, for
one, have never heard of before, and they are all saying exactly the same
thing. To wit: I signed up for this community forum expecting a lot of talk
about bridges and traffic flow, but all you people ever talk about is NSA,
religion, and Douglas J. Wilson. Oh, and Donovan Arnold. No one ever stops
talking about Donovan Arnold, but then, Donovan Arnold never stops talking.
MIT should use his mouth in its perpetual motion studies.<BR><BR>But back to
my point -- two of these new members have been women; one is this fellow, Ken.
I have to admit that I am deeply suspicious of the women: Gail and Jackie,
were their names, weren't they? I'm suspicious because I remember the late,
unlamented Edna Wilmington. (Check the Vision 2020 archives, Ken, sometime
around late 2003, early 2004. Edna Wilmington was one of many Christ
Church/NSA/Anselm House men who chose to post pseudonymously using a female
alias. Most peculiar. And hairy-legged. It was all very Milton Berlesque.) My
suspicion is that we've acquired a few more "Trinitarian Skylarkers," only
this batch has been watching too much Monty Python and so before posting, they
take off their manly men-of-chest Oxford cricket sweaters and put on floral
housecoats and pink hair curlers:<BR><BR>"Good morning, Mrs.
Premise."<BR>"Good morning, Mrs. Conclusion."<BR>"I've just spent four hours
burying the cat."<BR>"Four hours to bury a cat?"<BR>"Well, it wasn't dead yet.
Kept kicking and screaming, but who wants to come back from Toronto to a dead
cat?"<BR><BR>If these new members are real, I say welcome to the fray. If you
don't like what's being discussed, I say I'm sorry. I also suggest that you
might perhaps like to log onto Yahoo and begin your own fray. You could call
it "Moscow minus the Jesus" or something like that. Why bitch about what's
going on here? If I walk into a room and find that I don't care for the
conversation, I leave. I either find someone else to go and someone else to
talk to, or I sort through my own Monty Python DVDs, and I sit down to a nice
cuppa and bit of the old dead parrot sketch.<BR><BR>"The Norwegian Blue likes

you, Doug? Trying, once again, to shut down 2020? Give it rest, would you?
You've got your blog; your brother's got his blog (www.evantine.com); and
Dale's got his blahg. If your ears are burning, then put some ice on those
puppies. You've only yourself to blame.<BR><?/bigger>
