... setting up a web site where one could have discussions on and find out facts about Folk and similar music, and throw personal abuse at unknown people.

What's that Max?... Oh Sorry ...

That's already been tried The Fooles Troupe, it certainly doesn't make a fortune.

We could all join Skype and figure out the group thing and get to know one another. But this has probably been suggested already.

Yep Beer, I got about half a dozen Skype ids - and there has been a thread on Skype 'music sessions' like used to be on Paypal.

Am i detecting a slight note of cynicism here?

... sitting near any intersection in a residential (or other areas), and photographing/video taping every driver that treats a stop sign as a "suggestion" if at all, as well as those that turn on red lights when they're not already out in the intersection.

I swear in my subdivision alone, a cop could do his monthly quota of tickets, fines, and points in an afternoon. Since they don't have the resources, I could set up a company, hire the people, equip them with the right surveillance tools, and split the proceeds with the city. Make a fortune!!!!

Fooles, I guess i missed that thread. I don't follow up on all as to what is going on. Just don't have the time. "A slight note of cynicism?" What the f..k does that mean? I can't even pronounce the name.
You be well and see you on Skype some day.

It's been done. Called TiVo or DVR, about 5$ per month extra in almots all of North America and I imagine the rest of the world with digital cable. Watch what you want when you want. Skip the ads.

Not only are the inventors making the big bucks, but the cable companies have a huge new revenue stream.

Kick ass Synthohol

Programable MP3 door bells that have 3 buttons: family. friend, other. You program whatever you would like to hear for each button.

family = may the circle be unbroken
friend = You've got a friend
other = Navy Klaxon warning bell.

Thank you Dorothy but I can't take credit for the Skype idea because I was informed that there is a thread that was started on this and here it it.
