Well, danged! Last night we were have a rather civil talk about welfare in the US and then.... poof! We weren't! In the past when threads have been shut down, I can at least access the thread up until it's being closed. No more. Seems Tom Ridge, or someone, has brought *new and improved* methods of keeping the discussions *mainstream*...

There goes the neighborhood...

(How long do you think this thread will be around, Bobert?)

Nevermind...
