Make each user of CCC pay $50 per year for access to this bulletin board. Then take the money, send me half, and give the rest to a full-time paid "censor extraordinaire." : ) Incidentally, interesting bulletins often receive plenty of response, resulting in long threads. But some excellent bulletins elicit no response for one reason or another. As my wife says: "Why fix somthin' which ain't broke?" Truly, CCC as it is today is a supurb bulletin board. The people here deserve the utmost respect and appreciation. This is a great bulletin board and so are the people. Don't change anything! Bob D.
