at a lot of the blather that goes on, my delete key and Bozo Filter work quite
well. Communicating via email is nearly effortless. If I have to
look up the City Council Agenda on the City’s website, I never get around
to it. Same way with Moscow Wiki, Yahoo and some of the other sites that
proclaim to be an alternative to V2020. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

w:st="on"><st1:City w:st="on">Moscow</st1:City></st1:place> and on Highway 95
and in several other discussions over the past year or so, a separate topic has
started that I think merits its own thread: Notification. Some are upset
because they didn’t think they were properly notified about the road
work, others have been upset because they didn’t believe they were
properly warned about sex offenders. Some have questioned notifying of
extra patrols or emphasis enforcements. Many think publishing pictures in
the hot sheets is irresponsible—others requested it. People have
boycotted the Daily News or the Tribune for personal or political reasons.
A huge number of people get satellite or direct TV and do not receive the
local TV station (KLEW out of <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:City w:st="on">Lewiston</st1:City></st1:place>).
XM or Sirius (sp. ?) radio has replaced settings on our AM or FM dials.
Some people do not have internet access. So here are my questions
