I have your name on the ping list, and I copied and pasted everyone into the little “To:” box. I wonder if there are limitations as to how many people you can ping at one time.

Probably nothing more than a glitch, I’m assuming every one is having the same issue with slowness in the system.

Timing for me is acting like dial up instead of bb.

Good post, friend. Boy does this bring back memories.

When I first read about Hank Rearden it motivated me to read a book first published by B.C.Forbes in 1917, “Men Who Are Making America Great”

Here are the first ten names in the Table of Contents:

J.Ogdon Armour
George F. Baker
A.C.Bedford
Alexander Graham Bell
Andrew Carnegie
H.P. Davison
Robert Dollar
W.L.Douglas
James B. Duke
T. Coleman DuPont

How many of us today can even recognize these great men and what they accomplished? I read the book and I can't even remember without looking. And not a politician among them. Do our schools teach anything about them ? Ha!
Today we look to the Barney Franks and B.Obamas to save us...we have become a pitiful people !

To me that is the great enduring value of this great book...to remind us that true heroes can still exist.....but only strong men and women can make it so.

If your ping list is getting to big, perhaps halve it and do two pings.
