They do error on the side of safety or caution. I don't think the written rules are as indepth as the give on the threads.

True, but I won't let me drag into more flamethreads. That's why I asked for regulations rules. My thinking is, now that you subscribe, you may well know how this site is run. And what policies take place. It's much better, and more informal. My experience here is that questions a bit deeper than the "we all know that stuff" will not be answered. Or most unsatisfying. If you push it harder you are a strawman of some kind and you will be handled in a hostile way.
So what I do now is just try to be calm and ask things in the long run. But it still is a kind of censorship and it wouldn't have to be like that.

Well, the best thing I can tell you is if you must ask, try it out on me and elvee first before you put your butt in the wind. Play it safe. If you don't want to use the message board e-mail me. A lot of it is in the presentation, and you've been doing fine lately.

Oh, and remember, there's censorship everywhere.

Thanks for your offer WOM. I will make use of that one of these days I am pretty satisfied at the moment

Good, just trying to be helpful.

You have done great lately WOM. You have been really helpful, much obliged.
Well, I am going to read a book in bed...Say hi to elvee from me if he pops in.
Enjoy your evening!

Catch ya tomorrow Lecrayon, and have a good night.

Hello people. Sorry i'm on late. Had some stuff to do.

Lecrayon - Like Wise said, if you need help or have questions with anything, we're here to help you You're probably sleep by now, so sleep well friend

Good Morning everyone Today is Friday so nothing can hurt me. Weekend freedom in about 9 hours

/me wonders why he can't apply this same kind of attitude, Mon-Thurs Hmmm...

Wow some bad news in Maryland. It seems that some crazed sniper is going around killing people at random. he/she hasn't been caught yet > And i just thought Friday couldn't hurt me >

Rockville, MD is about an hour from me.

Madmen everywhere > Morning elvee

You watch out elvee. This guy is a crack shot. Hi Lecrayon.

He'd better shoot with crack.

Hello Folks, Hows everyone doing? Me?...well besides hoping that a disgruntled Sniper doesn't make His/Her way to my neck of the woods...I'm fine.

Why would somebody do such a thing like this? Some seasoned Crackpot who went over the deep end? An unruly teen with a new toy and a lucky shot? Making five out of six shots?...don't think so. Terrorist?...Good possibility. Five people are not a likely motive for a Terrorist, but the way those five people died in a sixteen hour span is enough to put a thriving Suburban community into a state of extreme fear, which leads to confusion, disruption, paranoia...things a Terrorist thrive on.

Sorry Folks, just venting

Hi elvee Just came in and read your message. Yes, it is terrible things can happen like that. We haven't heard much about this crazy person, just a few lines in the news here. In my opinion your president have put things way over the top. He has spread fear all over your country and uses this to back up his policy. Murders happen all over the world, and even people can get psychotic if they hear only how bad the world is and how fearful you must be. Beware of terrorists! May I remind you of schoolshootings that happened way before the twin towers fell.
In Europe we have lived for a long long time with armed groups, we try to grab them and trial them and sometimes there is success. It is a very complicated battle and you will never be able to eliminate it. Invading Afghanistan didn't help the afghans who still are fighting (dutch troups are there to maintain some peace), invading Iraq will not prevent innocent people from dying. We, as a weak nation, can only watch and hope. We will support the US, but we doubt the legitimacy.
Please dear elvee, be happy and love your life and wife. I feel for you you have anxieties, I think I would have the same feelings if I was in your place. I just do not agree with all those hatred seeding politicians, that to me reminds me of churches/priests that let you believe you go to hell if you don't belong to their belief.

I believe you are right about the fighting and bickering back and forth will never stop, But Lecrayon, something like this makes me wanting to look over my shoulder more than i care for. >

I know elvee It's scary.

Hey Lecrayon, is your Country a neutral one in world affairs?

Hello Lecrayon.

No, we are allied to the US. The dutch had a neutral policy for a long time, and succeeded in WW1 to stay neutral. In WW2 our neutrality was brutally dishonoured by the Germans and we got occupied. After the war, this was the reason we allied ourself to the western alliances and the US.

Let's hope that psycho is caught soon. I wish you all the peace you need elvee
Well, bedtime for me. How quick the time goes.
Hi and bye to WOM

I wonder why Terrorism is more common in Europe? Is it a security thing?

good nite Lecrayon

We have so many more nations in Europe and within nations different groups of people. A few people from those groups are extremists and try to get power over a state/province. (To put it simply) So what they do is kill politicians, bomb attacks and such. Then there is the mafia spread all over Europe. Lots of things have improved here since Clinton, but now with Bush it has its effects again. In spain terrorists fight for independence, and have lifted their plea to stop fighting.
With the fall of communism, it proves that capitalism is going to fall too. Weaponry is now not sold to states but to these terroristic groups.
What we need is a whole lot of Martin Luther Kings and Mother Theresa's in power.
Trouble is, those people don't want to be in charge One of our politicians was killed to this year. >

well...on that note...see y'all and take care Wom and elvee
