It was the Outlook calendar that TB couldn't match (at the time, maybe it's better now), and I was in the habit of using Outlook's at the time, so I went back. I'm now using my own databases for calendaring, so the Outlook calendar is unimportant, but I really haven't felt to switch again. But then I also write in text format only :) In any case, it's not me, and not just OT that I'm really talking about. What I'm really talking about is the paranoid/warmonger/mean-spirited mentality that has stiffled and neutralized not only OT but Washington as well. I'll apologize for the outburst, but watching that farce called an election play out has made it clear that the only hope we have left is at the grass roots level. But then, when I see what happened to OT, I wonder if it isn't the same problem only smaller. Then I think: if we can't fix it from the top down, and we can't fix it from the bottom up, what is left?
