"who is still searching for a new community."

Wolfgang, I have been doing some of my notorious research, and you
can
ask riverman what I mean. I found some intriguing reading, and yet
would look forward to your continuing input in this NG. You ask
me
if I
had any idea of what community means, and I can only invite you to
join
this one if you are indeed searching for a new community.

Well, the comment about searching for a new community was simply a
hasty gut reaction to learning about the proliferation of guns in
convents. In fact, I'm not searching actively. On the other hand,
I've always been intrigued by how people live and react with one
another in exotic foreign cultures........I may stick around for a
while.

Well, since TnT has gotten here, I think rbp qualifies as a foreign
culture,
and as such, is probably on a list to be invaded by the US forces
sometime
in the next 3 years. I suspect it already has been.

"I found some intriguing reading, and yet would look forward to your

...and yet! Wow, if he only knew.

"...and I can only invite you to join this one if you are indeed

You probably don't need me to point it out, Wolfie, but Tinkerntom is

neither our official inviter/greeter, nor the keeper of the gate.
He's more
like our new Village Idiot. We're unmoderated, so everyone is welcome
here,
as long as they wipe their feet at the door. Don't let the recent
puppy
tracks all over the place give you a poor impression.

And welcome aboard. Now I can stop crossposting. :-)

Oh, I suspect, but yet intrigued. True not the gate keeper, but willing
to welcome the stranger with no guile. If there is a mean spirit around
it is the one who would insult and kick the village idiot. It takes a
big man to do that! And yet he would still say "GLY" TnT
