    This makes the fourth message in one day. The last one I saw was
    the one I posted on July 13.

    That was the last one I saw for some time.

    Iused to dial the Swishers' "Litterbox BBS" several times a day.
    Now I only check this occasionally. Local echos have almost
    totally ceased; they were nice because most posters were somewhat
    local and had some idea of local issues and could occasionally meet
    face to face.

    I agree with you. I also note that most of my Facebook friends are local so I see them fairly frequently on the street.

    For example, locally we have ARTPRIZE (http://www.artprize.org/)
    occurring this week. Even though it is is a major local event, few
    outside the area are even aware of it.

    I promise to take a look. :-)

    Similarly, how many in North America are aware of the August
    Discovery Day in Whitehorse YK or the February Fur Rendezvous (http://www.furrondy.net/) in Anchorage AK?

    There are moments that I think more Germans know about Discovery Day than I think North Americans do.

    I'm going to have to take a look at Doc's Place. Right now I post using an Oracle VirtualBox running under Windows 7 and this is not ideal.

    Take care,
