- I put out to sea once more with Aubrey and Maturin in The Nutmeg of Consolation. The Nutmeg is a ship loaned to Aubrey to replace the wrecked Diane in the South Seas, where we left our heros at the end of The Thirteen-Gun Salute. While it's been a few months, I felt right at home with the words and the flow. I am not eager to finish the last six books Patrick O'Brian wrote in this series. I'm fortunate that I didn't cotton to these novels earlier, while he was still writing them -- then I would have had to wait until he finished each one. |

- Thanks to Andrew and all the folks at VentureBlog for the chance to contribute to the very engaging dialogue you have started here. Let me get right to one of my hot buttons. Since about the middle of 1999 most tech conferences made me feel like an extra in Night of the Living Dead. Increasingly the shows were vendors selling to vendors. No customers. |

- Freedom of Religion There are efforts in process these days from individuals and organizations to remove any religious symbols from public places, including plaques of the Ten Commandments, various references to God, and the like. Activist courts have ruled in favor of this practice many times. The people bringing these actions often speak of the First Amendment to the U. S. |

- I thought it was wise also not to name the new forum as it serves no point really. I agree with the point about getting people in early, thats why i didnt mind putting lots of posts on their forum, they asked for people to do so, and they had only 1 post! Without any topics to start people off they will just walk away. The way they reacted has put me off that forum, which is a shame, as it is always nice to be in a forum from the beginning. This site is great though, always had good answers, and it certainly has no lack of content! |
