I have a MacBook Pro. I will download Chrome tomorrow just for fun as Safari is the only browser I'm using; "horrors," I know. I did also attempt to download Thunderbird, but for some reason the password wouldn't take and I gave up. My main issue at this point is that on the website, when I click on a message, it often says "loading.........." and on it goes until I lose patience. It's hit and miss. For now, I'm using email.

Sorry about that! Glad you appreciated the piece. The guy has a real knack for incorporating a lot of complicated info into something that's easily readable. And I was pleased to see that he said pretty much the same things I had told Bhairitu. ;-) BTW, turns out one doesn't need to respond in the Rich Text editor to style text with bold and italic--at least with a Windows machine using Chrome. The standard Word key combos do the trick: Ctrl-B and Ctrl-I. Probably Ctrl-U too--yup. I don't think that was the case with the old interface, so that's one small plus for Neo. --- In fairfieldlife@yahoogroups.com, <emilymae.reyn@...> wrote: Thanks Judy. First link has two http's, but works just fine if one takes on out. It's definitely "reader-friendly" and I love maps. ________________________________ From: "authfriend@..." <authfriend@...> To: FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com Sent: Saturday, August 31, 2013 8:09 PM Subject: Re: [FairfieldLife] Obama will bomb if Congress gives approval Very good, clear explainer of the situation in Syria by WaPo's foreign affairs blogger: http://http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/worldviews/wp/2013/08/29/9-questions-about-syria-you-were-too-embarrassed-to-ask/ --- In fairfieldlife@yahoogroups.com, <authfriend@...> wrote: Violent regime change in Syria would be a huge freaking deal requiring troops on the ground, a full-scale military conflict. That's not what the administration is after. They just want Assad to stop using chemical weapons. Here's the administration's basis for claiming that it was the Syrian government that launched the chemical attacks, not the rebels: http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2013/08/31/world/middleeast/31syria-chemical-weapons-assessment.html?ref=middleeast Very different from the purported evidence of Iraqi soldiers killing Kuwaiti babies in incubators, if you recall how that went. Doesn't mean it's all true, just that the baby-killing stories aren't a good comparison.
