Hi Daryl!

 BM> It is interesting to see and try to figure out how the predictions are
 BM> being analyzed.
 DS>   Well, so many so called "prophets" have "spoken
 DS> presumptuously". The Good Lord doesn't share His Glory with
 DS> anyone.

It's all going to be a big surprise!  I find it somewhat interesting (so
not obsessed) with the "trying to figure out's": was it really an
accurate prediction or did it become accurate because in hindsight
people created a 'valid link'.  Thinking of how the destruction of the
Twin Towers was possibly foretold by Nostradamus: did he really do a 
cystal ball vision or are we creating a connection?


 BM> Well, one could, just usually leads to bad results!  As for 'black' or
 BM> 'white' themes. for me it "sorta depends".  While BBSing my read mode
 BM> is a medium blue background and I think black text.  Reply mode is
 BM> black background with a light-light gray text.  The XP terminal screen
 BM> is also light gray on black -- maybe default, I don't recall it's been
 BM> so long since I fiddled with that.  On the Linux side I use a darker destop
 BM> background; writing (LibreOffice) it's paper white background
 BM> and black text.  The Terminal window had a dark black background -- it
 BM> isn't as black as Windows'.  OTOH Xmessage is a light gray background
 BM> with black text.
 DS>   With the background of the WinDates program being white, I have
 DS> to use dark colors for the event reminders. I can change the
 DS> colors in MultiMail, but haven't attempted that yet. It was
 DS> easier to change color themes in OLX.

Hence the popularity of defaults! <g>



 BM> We watch some of the 'cop shows' and some of the requests/orders appear
 BM> to be impossible: "GIMME YOUR HAND!!"  Well the guy's hand is under his
 BM> body, there are three officers on top -- can't move much less present
 BM> the hand....  (And to be somewhat fair some just plain don't attempt to
 BM> comply.)
 DS>   Even some of the "wrestling" is fake.

Noooooooo!!! <g>  Dad and I used to watch roller derby during work 
breaks.  Sometimes could see the "I'm waiting for you to get into 
position so I can smash you like we planned!".  



 DS>   Nancy Backus could teach you and me a few things. <G>
 BM> I wonder where she is?  She did say she had been unusually busy.
 DS>   It does seem she isn't REP-lying very QWK-ly. <G>
 BM> Just for that you're required to use a 1200 baud modem for the rest of
 BM> the week.
 DS>   It'll be 0 baud...offline for thunderstorms.

Sneaky!
