Re: Moving to new form of usenet ideas?

This guy?

The thing is, there are true Patriots, who Love America, in her original form (and really disapprove of what the scoundrels are doing to her), and there are the scoundrels who hide behind the flag: "You disagree with our Beloved Infallible Fearless Leader? You're UNPATRIOTIC!!!!!!!"

Thanks, Rich

Now that is a curious post, what problem have you posted here. Someone else here has posted a very simple problem, at least for someone that actually earned a high school diploma, let alone an engineering degree, to solve and you have steadfastly refused to even address it. If you were any good you would have solved it at once instead of becoming a mockery.

Thanks. I converted the large flag shot into wallpaper for various resolutions. They will be available on the new Central Florida Veteran's website, when its launched. Several local agencies have asked for copies of all the photos I take at these events. I just finished downgrading a Emachines 1220 from XP home to Windows ME, to use my favorite graphics tools. They crash or hang under XP, but have never failed me on the earlier Emachines Etower 733i, running ME.

Several of those photos are crooked, because the only clear spot I could find was contoured for drainage. I had to keep my cane in my left hand, leaving me with one free hand for the camera & tripod. I am trying to rebuild a used power chair, and build a joystick controlled telescoping mast and camera mount to be able to take better pictures.

Ah, yes. Who wrote "Patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel"? Samuel Johnson.

This epigram should never be taken to be deriding patriotism.

Don't be a fathead. Nobody likes a fathead.

I can think of a couple of much more interesting plays on "Lester Zick."

Lesser Dick?

And his little dog too!

Hmm, I didn't take it as a compliment, for either. Kinda like, "you're lower than a slug's lower intestine."

No, that is _not_ why you're having a hard time, though everyone is laughing at you.
