I read that.

Fitting points.

However, expecting all believers of any flavor—much more so different flavors

to all be spiritually, psychologically, emotionally, sociologically healed, mature, saintly, wise . . .

ain’t gonna happen this side of Armageddon.

Not sure if it is allowed because Jm Robinson is anti-Mormon or just gets pleasure from others bashing us.

I can't mind read HIS brain; but I can tell you that I sure get pleasure out of bashing MORMONism!

LOTS of it!

Just to see MORMONs spin and twist and try every which way to wriggle AWAY from what their chosen religious organization has printed and teaches...

Why... it thrills my soul!

If Jim had a problem with you, believe me, he isn’t shy about saying so.

OK, I'll trust that to be true. All I've got going for me is my sincerity. I don't want to get the zot, that's for sure.

“Agreed. I’m not a fan of Perl but this is testament to what tenacity and a good mind can do with it.”

I wonder how’s that for John. Maybe he goes on in parties and says “yes, I wrote the 4,306th site with more traffic on the internet. In Perl. By myself. What are you laughing at?”

The body expressing air is normal. We accept sneezing but get silly about air from the other end. That has always struck me as odd.

A lot of people share your concerns about Oracle owning mySQL, especially some of the original designers. Forks are underway.

in precisely the same terms, ways definitions etc.

that YOU expect.

I think that the destruction of our Constitution, economy, Republic by the satanic globalists

is bringing out the worst in people,

Certainly the net has an underlying ethos, set, tendency, exectation that fosters prickly hostility toward everyone not one’s twin or clone.

Then the rest only winds THAT up more, imho.

INDEED.

Though personally, I think FR format and software beats 100% of all other boards on the net . . . several times over.

It was a hobby that has grown terribly out of control.

I think you might have spelled WONDERFULLY wrong...

Where would I be if I didn't have FR?

Where would we ALL be??

GOD bless you, Jim, and all your minions and underlings!

I appreciate the kind and thoughtful reply, Vanders9. I too was angling for a "rise" (hence the "/g").

Thanks also for your explication of the funding system for the BBC. However, even though it may not be directly funded by the government, I believe you are grasping at a distinction without a difference. You said:

Contrary to popular american opinion, the BBC is NOT funded by the British government. It is funded by an (admittedly) compulsory licence fee (although it also makes quite a lot of money through selling its products abroad, and it also has a very nice sideline in its own record and book labels). The point is that all of the licence fee is all posted to the BBC. The UK government is little more than a clearing house.

Who mandated the licence fee? Government. Who provides the compulsion? Government. The fact that all of the fee goes to the BBC is irrelevant. No matter how you spin it, the UK government is much more than a clearinghouse... /g

My favorite threads include the science threads, sci-fi threads and the archeology threads.

Those are good, but nothing beats a good old fashioned religious argument on the 'vi' vs. 'emacs' text editors!

Elsie is a cow with a small mind who would revive burning at the stake. There are many LDS on FR some of whom are family, though I am not LDS I disapprove of the Elsies of the world.

I’d like to add that monthlies should have the ability to change their handle, of course as long as a history went with that change. Im so sick of mine I could spit

Forum handles are a bit like tattoos. One should consider long and hard about any permanently identifying mark before making their choice.

I agree that it would be nice to have the ability to choose a new handle, if you later feel that you chose badly when signing up.
