Re resp:317: There's a less racist interpretation -- the U.S. has an
active national interest in the Israeli situation, but has basically no
ties to anywhere in Africa.

My son and I spent Friday night on the museum submarine, USS
Silversides, in Muskegon, MI, along with Cub Scout Pack 673 of
Tecumseh. I would have to rate this as one of the coolest overnight
trips I've ever heard of for Cub Scouts (and their parents).
You can read about the Silversides at http://www.silversides.org if
you're interested.

True, but the submarine _was_ the causus belli. :)

No, sir; it was made clear to us that the heads were not operational.
A submarine toilet does not work like a standard device anyway; there
are 10 steps for using it, and by doing it wrong, it is possible to get
disastrous results.

I apologize for the delay in making the following announcement.
The economy is picking up, Saddam Hussein was caught, and the world is
proceeding swimmingly. The staff, Board, and katie met at my apartment
in Tecumseh a few days ago for a high level summit. It was decided, in
order to not upset the balance, agora will not be rolled this season.
We're going to use this agora for the Winter 2003-04 agora as well.
Thanks for your understanding.

My confidence that this meeting took place is equal to my confidence
that Iraq's WMD will soon be found.

People are asking where the winter Agora is, and I am trying to help
them.
I might not be helping them in the way that they need. I might be a
little casual with the facts used for my explanation. There might be a
hole or two in what I am telling the good people of Grex.
I'm only human. (Well, maybe a little better than most. I
unquestionably tower above some). I am doing my best. It has to be
considered magnificent at the worst, despite falling slightly short of
ideal in the peripheral characteristics to which I referred.
And of course, it doesn't detract from what I have said, that no one
else has volunteered *any* information. I have written the "best in
it's class" account.
Mine is not the official statement. At least not yet. We can withhold
judgement on that point, secure in the knowledge that the Powers That
Be sometimes change their stories to match facts that come to light for
the rest of the population. Additionally, we can ponder the wisdom of
some famous and applicable words, spoken by one who is a true student
and philosopher: "The facts are overrated".
I shall stand by what I have said until proven wrong. The Grex staff
and Board, and katie, and myself, are trying to save the economy and
the world by not having a new winter Agora.

This is Grex. The Powers That Grex are supposed to be accountable. Or
they might not be TPTG very much longer.
We want Winter! We want Winter!! We want Winter!!!...
