[TheForge] abana

[Dan Tull]

Hey,
Ya'll were told George was no longer on theforge.
I put "forwarded by request". I don't read anything sinister into that.

Possibly George is no longer on this board, and done at his request.  But
more likely, this was picked up by Dan, considered something that should be
forwarded (for whatever reasons not stated, but probably due to content) to
this board, and did so<G>.

Yes, there is a great conspiracy, look to public education<G>.

OK, here we go again with another one.  George posts a seemingly reasonable
proposition to this forum, but why through Dan?  Why not directly?

It's all these little weird things that people on both sides of the argument
do that leaves me scratching my head.  There's a dance going on, but I can't
quite pin down the steps.

There's a brand new talk, but it's not very clear,
That people from good homes are talking this year.
It's loud and it's tasteless, I've not heard it before.
They shout it while they're dancing from the dance floor.
