Re: I Quit!!!!!
Kay--
I thought you were made of sterner stuff.
Of course your posts are going to be critiqued. That's the nature of
this kind of discourse. Did you ever go to the famous free speech area
in London, England, called Hyde Park? That's the best analogy I offer
to describe how I see Vision 2020's email system. It's a soap
box--that's all we provide, a chance for people to sound off.
And when people sound off at Hyde Park, members of the audience sound
off back at them. It's part of the package. It's part of free speech.
I hope you change your mind. Montana is no closer to Nirvana than
Moscow.
