Is this the serious, thoughtfully aware Lee, or is this
the crazy ass incomprehensibly Cajun key tickler?
If the former, I have secrets to reveal;
if the latter, I have secrets to reveal.

Mais oui, monsieur. Bienvenue a la echo!

Are there rules?
If you want to know what the Rule of One is,
the secret is revealed in the tv show M*A*S*H -
"There are two rules of war.
Rule number one is that young men die.
Rule number two is that doctors can't change rule number one."
Now that you know what the Rule is, you are expected to OBEY!

Hehe, when are you going to ban someone and then come whining
to the sysop - you could ban me for starters, & get me to cut
my feed (or toenails or something).

Ther is another rule, revealed in the movie Breaker Morant:
Rule .303 - "We shot them under Rule .303!"

You forget, Cajuns have been living in exile for centuries,
and banned by the Queen of England from ever returning to their
beloved Acadia. :)

Rule .303 - "We shot them under Rule .303!"
The film is a beautiful anti-war statement, making the point that
human beings should always be respectfully (and sometimes non-respectfully) suspicious of their motivations.
For those not familiar with the film, Morant's "Rule 303" is a
reference to the Lee Enfield .303 rifle issued at the time the
story took place (early 20th Century in South Africa). Morant's
meaning was he shot the prisoners because he had the means to do so (rifles in hand) and that was all the authority he needed.

Has the one who shall remain nameless given you any heat?
Caused problems for you?
Should you ask I'll withdraw from your BBS rather than post the odd
post to that other echo.
It's in pretty severe decline in any regard with just a few
opinions of much interest to me anyway.
Your BBS just doesn't interface for QWK out of the box well with
Linux.
I'd bet a Knoppix release of this same O.S. would work just fine as
they preconfigure much to the generally accepted standards.
Slackware Linux leaves a LOT to be custom configured.
It has the advantage of being able to be optimised to your ultimate
goals and desires in how it operates but it can introduce stumbling blocks.
BTW my ancestry came through Austrailia at one point starting out
in Scotland and arriving in Autrailia in somewhat the accoustomed
way back in the day.

G'day Wayne..

Heat, possibly - annoyance definitely, backed up with implied
threats.

It's been dealt with.

If I was really keen, I would investigate setting up a http bbs, but probably not worth the trouble, with phpbbs sites replacing distributed Fido echoes.

I was very impressed with PCLinuxOS - behaved well on my now dead
machine.

Acadia might be worth returning to, but I wouldn't want to return
to Britain - too much like the dying husk of a great empire now.

I'm doin' good now.
My pain was getting to me and I was near out of here, but I got me a
new doc and some good meds now, and I'm chillin'. Thanks.
I'm legal for weed too. ;)
I'm in Cali.
But then MJ really doesn't much help the pain for me and after one or two spliffs over a day or two I lose interest as it no longer does much of anything at all for me.
Had given it up since 1985 but recently an incident I can't talk about openly
caused me to take up the practice on occassion for a short time.
Boy it really makes that first cup of coffee in the morning taste great and I can annialate a 1/2 gallon of frozen chocolate yogart but by day three it seems a waste of cash better put to other uses and that's
where it goes now.

I'm doing Indica strains far more often than Sativas, so I haven't had
the munchies (actually, I've lost 40 lbs in the last couple years
because I'm more active).
It's been a Dog-send for me. ;)
Anyways...let's get to Conspiracies.
I hear that the Tea Bag types are already saying that "Obama had the
oil rig destroyed!". So as to manipulate the drilling issue, I guess.
Well, Obama is the cause of EVERYTHING, of course.

It was DICK Cheney and his secret energy policy meetings where he gave WC>the concession to the oil industry to not have to use the automatic acoustic WC>blowout preventer in the U.S. to keep what just happened from happening.
Commonly used even when not mandated in S. America.
Cost would have been an additional 500,000 to B.P. as opposed to
the current 6 million a day they're wasting trying to deal with the mess.

Others are saying North Korea did it -

Environmentalists are suggesting Big Oil did it -
"The oil industry spent 40 years building a story line that it knew
what it was doing underwater and because it knew what it was doing
we could allow it to turn our most sensitive coastline into oilfields.
.. We've now been reminded once again that oil and water do not mix."
- Carl Pope, chairman of the Sierra Club, May 2, 2010, AP
Now why would oil companies do a damfool thing like blowing up
an oil rig? Well, pending legislation concerning climate change
could wind up being trashed if offshore drilling remains in the
bill. You see, certain congresscritters have threatened to pull
their support, as the bill is designed to curb emissions of pollution-causing gases (caused by offshore drilling) blamed
for global warming. See how that works? Blow up an oil rig,
get pending legislation trashed, oil industry continues to
drill for oil as if nothing has happened.
"The Challenger accident was heartbreaking but we went back
to space." - Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-SC, speaking in support of
continued and increased offshore drilling, April 30, 2010, AP
President Obama remains committed to expanding offshore drilling
to new areas of the Outer Continental Shelf, and the Gulf of Mexico.
All he has done is put those plans on hold. For now. Until things
die down a bit. And then it will be business as usual.
