<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial> V2020 is a public service that
First Step has generously offered to host at no charge to support community
communication. Other than controlling technical issues, First Step does
not direct or manage Vision 2020. First Step is certainly not making any
money from Vision 2020.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV>I believe, that Vision 2020, that hasn't changed its low-tech
format since 1994, which is both annoying and unnecessarily
inconvenient to use by its subscribers, will be replaced by another
Internet company or reputable company or organization that establishes
such a forum on Facebook or similar network. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Sure, anyone could establish a Palouse Forum, but people would be
more likely to join a forum created by First Step Internet that
uses the same name. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Image a Vision 2020 that took only moments to skim through instead
of opening and closing each email, or getting one at the end of the day
after the conversation is over. You could post links, images, and
information much more quickly. And perhaps the best things of all would
be that people could not use your name in postings or false names to
launch personal attacks against members of the community. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>A Facebook account would be more meaningful and helpful to a
community that wished to grow and be productive with its online
networking. It would also be of better service to facilitate the
purpose and mission of Vision 2020. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Vision 2020 will eventually be replaced, the question is how
it will be replaced, and by what entity. I hope it is still First Step
Internet. But I don't see it making any moves to save Vision 2020 and
keep ownership of its own idea of an uncensored soap box forum to
facilitate change in the Palouse Community. </DIV>
