Awful hard to hide something that has 12 phone lines hooked up to it.

Besides, they'd presumably be after the content and the people, not the
hardware. I'm not sure what good hiding the hardware while sending in a form
with the names and addresses of all the board members every year would do.

Yup. I would say that there is very little chance of Grex becoming an illegal
board. This whole line of thinking is moot in my opinion.
Anyway, our response to the bill becoming law belongs in another item.

Grex is already known to the feds, and the world. Too late to hide now.

Re 25, bah! We'd just need 12 cellularly modems, with their numbers
frequently reprogrammed to those stolen off the airwaves, and a big
van with massive power generators to keep the whole thing constantly
in motion. And hope, of course, that STeve is on Grex's side, even
though I'm sure he'd love the challenge of tracking down the van.

Yeah, that would do it for a while. Need a source of cash, too. Perhaps Grex
could engage in other criminal activites to support the cause, all in good
faith of course. Drugs? Bank robbery? Extortion? Lots of employment
possibilities here. <29 and this are not serious. - Disclosure requrired by
the Honesty in Communications Act of 1997, subtilted "We can't take a joke
law.">

Isn't the "We can't take a joke too far law" applicable too, or did we
manage to break it? ;)

Hmmm. New approaches for Grex:
Great Regional Explosives eXchange.
Groovy Rad Explicit X-rated (whatever)
The mind boggles.
I don't see why or how Grex could possibly disappear. The people
that you'd most want to disappear from are the very people who'd have
the best way of finding out where we are.

The irony is that rarely, if ever, has there been any indecent language (that
I have seen) on this system except in reaction to the legislation pending that
proposes to control our thoughts and words. I want to be a dirty old man, but
the group prevents it. Now it is going to be against the law. We are now
safer than before?

Relax, Arnold. It's a tempest in a teapot as far as Grex is concerned, I
suspect.

Relax? Relax!! Relax!!!! Oh. Yeah, you are right. Ok, deep breaths. Ok.
Contemplate the reef. Beauty. Creation. Life. Yes. Ok. Thanks, davel, as
always you are the stabilizing factor. I can "dig it".

I've heard a couple of things that sound reassuring lately, but they've gotten
so little press that I'm not sure what's going on. I've heard that this bill
will die if not enacted by the end of the year, and I've also heard that the
budget problems are even worse than they were, in part because the House and
Senate are about to recess until after New Years, and may not be able to
reopen the government until then? What is happening at the moment with the
First Ammendment Abolition Act of 1995?

Re 12: I'd been volunteering to be treasurer for next year, but I think you're
a great candidate. I defer in favor of having you do it, Mark.
Re post office box: I agree with Dan. Checking the box on a regular basis
would be a big pain for the treasurer. I think there are some private places
that sell postal boxes, where they will collect up your mail and mail it to
a forwarding address (the treasurer's home?) every few days. This might be
a better option than a classic PO box.
Re 36: Last I heard, Congress was in a big hurry to pass telecommunications
reform before the end of the month/year. I'm hoping that the budget battle
will distract them.
