-Caveat Lector-
Well, howdy ya'll, ya know, I have thought long and hard about this. I have
a life also and yes it takes time to keep up with info. Myself I am a member
of myriad different lists, plus I have to put up with, sometimes, over a
hundred error messages about full mailboxes, invalid address, etc. Plus I am
follow my own researches.
CTRL, to me, is mostly an informational exchange and archival resource. Yes,
were learn by discussing matters and I enjoy enlightening discussions and
learn much by them.
"May you live in interesting times."
Well, we live in very interesting and changing times. We must learn how to
discern and digest information in this age. We are pioneers and must learn by
doing.
I have thought and mentioned on the list about my thoughts to split-up the
list, create a small roundtable group, topical sub-list, etc. And while
each of those types of arrangements have benefits, there are also drawbacks.
Conspiracy Theory is a very wide discipline, that encompasses many areas of
study. I am studying many areas and I share my study.
Also there is the factor of looking at the news, media, culture and 'actions'
, to help one discern the psychological sets being sent to us, hoi polloi,
either through controlled means, cultural evolvements & changes or . . .
So I look at CTRL as being a place where one can gather info sent in by
editors and members. The archives are a resource that can be used by
researchers following leads, looking for resources, etc.
All of us together are much stronger than separate. There are plenty of
options. One may put oneself on nomail and then view through archives.
There is a lot of info out there. I do try and be discerning in my posts and
hopefully some will find them interesting. And I hope that the posts will
help us move towards the future we know we can be for our kids and
Constitution.
"Don't tread on me"
I must go.
This is a high volume list, use what ya can, and the rest will be in the
archives when ya can.

DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER
==========
CTRL is a discussion and informational exchange list. Proselyzting propagandic
screeds are not allowed. Substance�not soapboxing! These are sordid matters
and 'conspiracy theory', with its many half-truths, misdirections and outright
frauds is used politically by different groups with major and minor effects
spread throughout the spectrum of time and thought. That being said, CTRL
gives no endorsement to the validity of posts, and always suggests to readers;
be wary of what you read. CTRL gives no credeence to Holocaust denial and
nazi's need not apply.
Let us please be civil and as always, Caveat Lector.
