assistant: Well, you are one of the many people in America, who are not open minded.
This is changing today as we speak, people are people, and having a different
lifstyle makes no difference anywhere you go.  You go to the Grocery stores,
Gas Stations, Department Stores, Cafes, and gays are there. Do you want to
boycott those places also ?  Disneyland has the Gay Day, and it is just for
Gays on that one day of the year.  People go there the other 364 days of the
year and have a wonderful time.  The people who work there are not sporting a
sign, saying, "Hi, Welcome, I Gay" now do they ? No Sir

assistant: Hello Amanda.
        Well, GOOD NEWS!!!!!  The pooh echo is a local Fido echo for now and
very soon to be backboned. It is however available to you now since we are
both in the same net (2613).Just beg your sysop to request it. Well,I can't
wait to hear from you in the new echo, but feel free to drop me a few lines
in here, too.
       Also, I have to share, My boyfriend was so sweet today. For Mother's
Day he gave me flowers and took me to dinner. And after that, we went to the
Disney Store where he bought me a Dress with Pooh and the whole gang and a
set of three classic pooh pins! My favorite is the one with Eeorye standing
on his head!
       Well, enough babbling for now, I hope to hear from you soon!
                                  TTFN,

Write your reply.

assistant: Hello All.
Great news!! The Pooh echo that I have been trying to get started is now
under application to the Fido backbone. In order for this echo to become
available to everyone in Fido it has to be in the backbone. To become
backboned it has to be requested by at least 2 RECs (Regional Echomail
Coordinators).
Please ask your sysops to have your REC request this echo so that we all may
create our own hundred acre wood!!
    I love to chat Pooh and Friends, So drop me a line!

Write your reply.

assistant: Jen, couldn't help but to intrude on your conversation with Tom, but when you
said about going to WDW during Thanksgiving, I just had to tell you that when
we went last Thanksgiving it was incredibly jammed!  However, to offset the
enormous crowds, there were many extra terrific programs ongoing at that time
of the year.  We just went back last week and it was far less crowded, but we
did miss the special programs.  Of course, seeing the 25th Celebration a
second time made it a bit more tame.  Still, I think it was my most enjoyable
trip to WDW ever!  The weather was great at 85 degrees the whole time, and
nothing but sunshine!  I was disappointed that they still had not replaced
20,000 Leagues Under the Sea with anything, though, and that the GM Test
Track was not open (not until later this Summer) yet either.  We got to eat
at several new restaurants (for us at least) such as the Rose & Crown at UK,
the Spoodles at Boardwalk and we also redid the Poly Luau.  I think I'm
beginning to know where everything is and the best way to get around, etc.!
I can't wait to go back again!

assistant: Boy do *you* have a lot to learn about giving references to published
material! Orlando has seven newspapers, some with 50 years of
publications. The fact that you couldn't (or wouldn't) give us even a
title and year makes me wonder if the material exists. Please feel free
to prove me wrong.
No it doesn't. I disagree with Disney about many things--sometimes
*while* I am enjoying the Parks. But then, I don't agree with everything
my local grocer thinks, either. Potatos do not a philosophical
committment make.
No, it's the same as trying to avoid giving extra publicity to something
they cannot prevent.
I would gladly check it for myself if you provided a complete citation.
Please do so--I would much prefer to see the material I'm arguing about.
please let me know.
Let's do. Can you post to ILink Opinion? If not, please email me at

assistant: Hi Bruce,
Since we are moving to Atlanta in a month, we have spent some time there
in prep for moving and, GUESS WHAT??  We listened to Disney Radio!!  It
was GREAT!!!
We were very surprised to hear it and, altho it was AM, found ourselves
listening to it most of the time we were in the car.
Do you know what cities it is in??  I was going to post a question on
this conference to find out more about it, but packing and planning took
over.
The kids are excited to be moving to Atlanta and listen to DISNEY RADIO.

any reviews (I guess previews..hehe)? I was able to finally get to see Jungle

be a wonderful place!! I'm invited by my friends! Cool! =)
        (Shrug) So what? Including the ones in Disney Stores? Buro? Or
whereever else? However, I don't care.
        No, I didn't know that either. But I don't care since I am not
interested in whatever-gay.
        But... what does Disneyland or Disneyworld have to do with things
like that? Who did ever complain about being harassed by Mickey Mouse?!
Paranoids? =( I'm sorry for my words but... this is really far beyond what
I think might ever really happen to anyone.
        I am too, =), I respect other people's beliefs and opinions, and
gererally the person s they are =). Please don't let something like this
become a discussion on here, kids are reading this =), and I am a 'kid'.
        You're not a fanatic just because of what you think =). And yes,
many things aren't always right. But I find those things mostly where
people are starving of hunger, where people are poor, where animals are
tortured and where nobody cares for another. I rather complain about forms
of hate, not of love. And not here. So I don't quote the rest of what you
said and leave it like that.. please don't take this personally.
        And yes, I think I know the facts. If you'd like to answer to this,
