Whoever silently sang "We Shall Overcome," let's follow that. I'm rather new, having only been here a few months, yet within a week of posting on here last fall, I knew I had to be parat of what's going on in a legitimate way. So thrilled was I to get the answers to my questions and to find a place like this -- and purely by accident! Why can't others do the same? It's such a little thing -- registering -- and it shows respect and gratitude for all that you're getting here for nothing.

Also, from other forums I've been on, I'm aware that the moderator always has the last word -- forget your cliches about "free speech" and "democracy"-- all they are is transparently self-serving (and erroneous, to boot). In a privately-run website, of course, the moderator can do anything he wants.

I also know that the fastest way to encourage trolls and flamers is to keep answering them. I don't know if anyone has suggested this, but I suspect, as before, it's pretty much the same GUEST weighing in here! Such an amazing coincidence that every GUEST resists joining, in the same rather disrespectful way, and with the same irrelevent objections -- that it won't work, etc.

You got a friend, Max. Go for it. We need you and this forum. With few exceptions, anything worth saying is worth signing.
