RE: *** ADMIN: New list -- ISN-Citizens!

David,

Again, thanks.

You wrote: "While I won't turn away a contribution, the system is not yet

One thing I've found, from experience, is that having too much money can
actually be a problem.  In that people have a natural tendency to try to let
money solve problems, rather than creativity.  Any doubts about that can be
removed by looking at the dot-com disasters of the past year.  If I hear the
statement one more time:  "we're re-evalutating our business model" (meaning
they blew all their investors money, and now they're finally going to start
looking for some way for the business to make an actual profit...)  Well, I
think I'm gonna blow my chow...  You guys have always done an immense amount
of good on just a bare minimum of resources.  I wouldn't imagine that would
change with any cash influx.

Checked with The Boss...;-)  Offer still stands...:-)  If you or someone can
start putting together a 501(c), and you give me an address, the check's in
the mail...

(But then, you've probably heard that one before....!  Shewww...;-)

I plan to put together a few posts today, for the new site, and then kick
back and lurk for a while.  Maybe work on THE MOST AMAZING WEBSITE ever...
Maybe not...

All that to say, David and Don, you guys are a huge asset to your
iCitizens...  (Don't let it go to your heads... In part, I'm just buttering
you up so I don't get banned from this new site...;-)  ROFLMAO...

The list is active ... instructions were in the first post of this
list.  The WEB INTERFACE is not active... the 2 months was a conservative
estimate to get the web interface activated.  The only reason for the delay
is because my DSL line is not installed yet.  The order, however, has been
placed.

While I won't turn away a contribution, the system is not yet starving.
