I'm a happy, attractive, young, educated man who feels like he has
everything in life - including "lust in his heart" (If Jimmy Carter can say
that, I can too!)  I could imagine having an emotionally mature
friend-lover, but I would be reluctant to involve an unmarried woman
because it would be an uneven relationship.

If you are a woman with similar feelings, I would enjoy talking with you
and hearing about your feelings.
 
If you are in my position too, you will know how much I will value your
privacy and honesty, and how much I value mine.

I'll thank the moralists in the audience in advance for not sending me
mail.  If you must, please pray for my soul quietly.

		Thank you,

I understand this started following the national release of the "Friends
don't let friends drive drunk" ad in Boston at MIT where poster and
T-shirts were put up saying (of course) "Friends don't let friends go
to Harvard".  So, the people at U W and WSU were copying (as well as
the people at OSU and U of O, Western, Whitman, etc).

Just a note...I now return you to the regularly scheduled bad jokes and
other fun...

 I don't wear underwear when I wear jeans.  I do wear underwear when I wear
 slacks (too slack?)

 I began NOT wearing underwear in Vietnam (too hot, too humid)
 So now I am used to NOT wearing underwear when engaged in combat.

 'Course then again, I tried to quite smoking while in Vietnam - for my health.
 - thought that was dumb - so quite later.

 BTW:  I only wear button-fly jeans - NEVER zipper jeans - those zippers have

yeah, it's like the ones i've seen in shops here in the U-District saying

They didn't find two "extras".  They just overrode two that were already there.
I heard they gave some sort of credit to those foolish enough to pay for the 
Triplecast.

Or, install a satellite dish and bypass your cable company.
Then you can buy whatever programming you want rather than

I would imagine that TCI in Boulder is also not planning on carrying the
all-cartoon channel.  A techie from there told me a couple of months ago
that they're already pushing 3 or 4 more channels than their system bandwidth
is supposed to be capable of.  Let's hear it for cheap (as opposed to planned

A followup to my earlier posting...

I talked to TCI Boulder the other day, and they said that the SF channel
is one of the ones they hope to offer next year, pending "approval from
the head office to increase our bandwidth".  I wasn't aware at the time I
talked to them that they'd *added* 2 channels for the Triple-rip.  They
*did* say, however, that the all-cartoon channel will *not* be coming to
Boulder, as they couldn't work out a deal with the originator.

TCI is also pressuring people to kick their congresscritters about some new
cable (de?)regulation bill that they (of course) claim will cost everybody
money.  Anybody got the bird's-eye lowdown on this caper?

Uh, no (at least not for me.)

My cable goes directly into my TV, so the channel mappings may not be the same
for those with a cable box, but TCI-Boulder broadcast the Triplecast on channels
30, 43 and 99.  Channel 30 is normally just a text "PPV coming soon"
information channel and channels 43 and 99 don't normally exist (they're just
snow).  If they found a way to pump channels 43 and 99 through during the
Triplecast, they can do it on a full-time basis...

So let's get it together.  ISDN isn't nirvana, but it would sure help a lot
of us.  How do we convince more people that it's worthwhile?

I'm serious; let me explain the question:  How do we convince people that
ISDN has something to offer.  This is a real chicken-and-egg problem: until
ISDN is mostly real, it won't be useful, but people won't see the usefulness 
of it 'til it's real.  You can't go buy a plug'n'play ISDN card for your PC
(*PLEASE* correct me if I'm wrong!!) because ISDN isn't mainstream yet...
but the telcos aren't ready to make it mainstream because there isn't the
support for it yet.  How do we break the loop?

>[unless we move]...there is *no* possibility of
>ISDN being made available to you at regulated rates,
>only 'negotiated' rates. Ever 'negotiate' with a shark?

Ooooph!  We just had some business service installed--based on the cost and
the time involved, I figure US West gets about $300/hr!!  That's not what
they quote; that's what it really costs.  But included in the bargain was a
rude, ignorant installer...such a deal.

>(I suppose I am wasting my time here, cause most of you are

Dave, do us a favor--if you're going to piss in the wind, stand where the
spray doesn't hit the rest of us?  Translation: If you're trying to recruit
help, try to do it without pissing people off.  I know you can't pass up a
cheap shot at non-Fidonet folk, but give it a rest and maybe we can all get
together and help out.

I know a lot of folks whose employers pay for connectivity, but most of
them understand that money taken from their employers comes out of their
pockets.  Actually, the folks who deal with telecomm in larger companies
have an incredible interest in ISDN: they wouldn't have to deal with
)&^!(*&^!!!! modems!  (I would have followed up sooner, but I was busy
fighting a 3-hour battle with mixed-system modem problems yesterday.:-)  
In fact, the larger the system, the worse it gets (and the more ISDN could
help):  the more different connections you have to deal with, the plainer
it is that today's telecommunication is brain-dead and then petrified.

Summary: I can see the advantages of ISDN for me.  I don't know how to
convey this message to enough other folks to get the message across.
