Re: Fw: "Moving On in 1999."
Hi, Kathy!
Welcome to 1999!
I can't believe I am so dense. I couldn't figure out what you meant several
weeks ago when you returned my message, privately, with a "remove" as your
only message content, as you have below. I couldn't figure out what you
meant, below, either, until the "big light bulb" finally came on just a few
minutes ago.
And by the way, only one other person gave me any reply at all on my
previously forwarded posting of several weeks ago from this same group.
No, the "remove" mentioned at the end of the big message, below, does not
particularly apply to me because I cannot control whether you or any other
V2020 list members are singled out to not receive my forwarded list posting.
Rather, the "remove" applies to being removed from the Censure-And-Move-On
email list which sends out the "Moving on in 1999" messages in the first
place. That is not me and is not Vision2020.
So if you or anyone else reading my forwarded posting on Vision2020 were to
write in and become direct subscribers to the Censure-And-Move-On email list,
then subsequently you and they could send that list a "remove" message to be
taken off the subscription list.
Confusing? Perhaps.
Also, I ask you and other Vision2020 list readers if I am interpreting
correctly the activities of the Censure-And-Move-On group????
I interpret that they are actively soliciting, and have received $8-1/2
million buckaroos to support selected congressional election campaigns in
2000. I further interpret this to mean they and their pledgers intend to
unelect those who did what they did a week or so ago in the House impeachment
proceedings.
Raise your eyebrows? It surely did mine.
With best regards,
