I and others have nudged our RC but to no avail...

Oh, I think you would get upset at some of the stuff that Felten comes up
with. It's always a point of contention with him, as he bashes the
policies of the US at every turn. As if any of us can make a difference in
what our country's policies are.

I think you are too.

 CS> Snicker.  There's 2 of them you know...

3, if you take into account the one who hides in the weeds.

Out of bounds for an international election area.

No biggie, as I'm sure that can be fixed rather quickly.

Yukkkk. Being the computer guru that you are, I'd think that you would
pick something a bit more promising than that,

 CS> THHUKK!!  I am a great cook!  Ok, well, umm, family hasnt died yet...

Sorry! I guess I should have pre-qualified that statement. I should have
said that I can't stand what you cook, not your cooking. I'm not a seafood
fan, nor do I eat pig. OTH, Nancy has smelled up the house when cooking
calimari, but I refuse to eat it. And she's a wonderful cook too, but I
prefer her genuine Italian pasta fare.

I have a suggestion: D'Bridge and GoldEd...D'Bridge has a BBS mode, uses
BinkD and dial up, plus you can setup any number of readers, as well as
use the internal editor. DB's v3.9 is on the verge of release by the end
of Nov...I use it and call GoldEd from it, but it can also be setup to
call TimeEd and other editors. The internal editor isn't so grand, but it
works...

I guess I'm spoiled from the ramblings of at least 3 outspoken Z2 sysops
who don't follow that philosphy...

You did a very good job. No reason to hide from the naysayers on that
issue.

Oh my...mine has turned to white including my mustache...if I were fat and

Tellum that you color your whole head and you keep that silvery thing to
show your mean streak...they'll be scratchin' their heads all the way to
the beauty parlor.
