Nicknames when playing a game, sure...

Btw, I didnt know who Jeff Binkley was until 6 or 7 years ago.

Same for Stan, Ed, both Johns, Richard (deceased).

Most of my familiarity with Sauer and Chirnside came from POL_INC, which is
also where I met Ceppa.

I love their cookies.

Do you have a no soliciting sign on the door?

In my younger days as a paperboy for a Washington DC daily, alot of my
customers had these signs.

Look, there is no need for either side to excoriate the other.

This echo used to be nothing but a place to do exactly that, and to that end
anyone whom was a believer whom came in, always got shouted down, at least from
what I can remember from what little reading I attempted to do here.

Fidonet has changed Judith, it is much much smaller, echo traffic is much
lighter, the number of listed sysops in Fidonet Zone One, North America no
longer rates with several regions of Zone Two - Europe. A Region is a mere
subset of a Zone.

I already told you that this echo is going to level the playing field, to
fascilitate 2 way debate, not just one way shouting.

When contrasted to the Upstate, you are darn right it is Liberal.. Chazton gave
us Riley and Hollings..

They shouldnt have been moved because of their religion, they should have been
moved for the reasons they were moved. If an atheist stood on a street corner
and yelled at everyone, I would fully expect to see noise ordinances enforced
as well. <G>
