Good evening again tonight, Dave! Well, now we have a real emergency on our hands, or so it seems, at this moment, and I am writing from the email side since usenet hasn't been reliable for about a week or so. I know I've replied to several messages from usenet, and even today I had to post twice the same message, the second one finally went through 8 hours later!
However, as you might want to check out the current traffic, we do have an old friend probably being faced with real life emergency conditions as we speak, and I have to rely here on what really works, and relegate to the background what has been a pretty paultry 'hit or miss' publication thing. I really don't believe that tonight is a really great time to get into this, since this information is pretty much dependent upon real time updates on a situation none of us know very much about right now. I do suspect that Ben Irvin will come back to us all, later tonight, on some updates as they become available. I previously wrote, however: > > Looks like KREM 2 News's meteorologist came through with a pretty > > accurate weather report again last night, although as usual on > > weekends, Tom Sherry was absent.

Well then, your lucky, I suspect, that you don't live up here on Ruby Ridge tonight. I spent three hours just yesterday with the snow blower blowing out 14 inches of snow throughout 300 feet plus of driveway, and then today had another six inches to blow out again with more to come. I'm hoping to get out of here sometime early tomorrow morning to take care of last minute details that have to be attended to before the big zero degree freeze sets in Wednesday night, also according to the same KREM weather report just this evening. > > Oh, don't do that, Frank. There haven't been hardly *any* messages posted > in the last four or five days. Yea, I know. That's probably because a lot of the messages *I* responded to on the newsnetserver.com side never migrated to the list at all! Which is why tonights emergency messages are going out entirely from the list side. I know for a fact, I've written a lot of stuff on usenet news during the last several days, and virtually NOTHING has migrated to the list. The ONLY reason today for the message I wrote earlier, is that I had to send it out a 'second time', and somehow, it managed to make the trip. > There were one or two, but not much else. Nice guess, I suspect. But guess again, considering the three of four responses I posted from news that never migrated to the list. > I > should probably cross-post something that has no involvement with > Libertarians every few days. That will predictably bring out people > grousing mightily, I would imagine. I don't suppose such a thing ought to be even necessary, should it? If NNTP operates as advertised, then I suspect the usual gateways particular to these transmissions ought to work in the 21st century, since they seemed to work flawlessly over a decade ago! For me tonight, I am tuning in right now on what is currently taking place with an old friend in Butte, Montana. If that migrates to usenet, then great. If not, then perhaps you, and others connected to that gateway ought to ask, 'why it didn't?'.
