Thanks for this useful information. While conceptualizing this I
completely forgot about hemp. Good suggestion. I don't know why there
isn't more being done with it. Oh, sure I do. It is economic and it is
empowering to have such an easy solution to anything and those who
control the money don't want us to have the power.
Well, I will follow those links and we will talk about it after I have
read the articles. BUT as I wrote recently I'm still thinking about
installing another open bulletin board OR perhaps another WIKI, and this
time keep it open. The PhpWikis (now naWikis "not Wikis") were so useful
that I eventually installed three of them (two too many (g)), but kept
them closed because of spam and malicious attacks and changing content by
attackers who disagree with the politics expressed therein. I still get
that but don't give anyone the opportunity to deface anything and I have
some hacker traps that work pretty good. What I'm getting at is the
possibility of installing TikiWiki and whenever anyone joins the list here
they also become automatically registered for the Wikis. There is so much
similarity in today's InterNUT that it must have a different approach or I
won't do it - and subscribers to pnews must want it or I won't bother. I'm
looking for ideas from everyone and enough reason to do it. With three
servers I have the server space and the capability to do anything with
them.
By the way, speaking of progress and changes expect to see a giant leap in
computer technological benefits with dual core processing. It is here and
being widely implemented. I'm anxious to switch over whenever I replace
what I have. If I had the dough Re Me I would do it now but it ain't
happening in this corner of the universe anytime soon. (g) I could use a
donation of a few thousands dollars if anyone wants to contribute to
switch - but I really don't expect it. I don't know anyone here who won
the lotto. I just want you to know if I won the lotto I would share so I
don't know why you and others wouldn't share also?? (g) Yeah, sure!
As for the Indian > ____ Tecumseh, Shawnee Nation prayer at the end of
your letter, I have a bit of a different take on personal "end times". See
my H Roth Schmohawk poem at the end of the page at the Epilogue -
http://pnews.org/bio/EE.shtml page..... (one of them)..
