Cdr.Bob..
Any time the rangernet patrol want's to fold shop, and douse the cyberfire.. *That I guess is the privlage of democrocy and we'll all move on the better things. Rangernet has zero props supporting it's exsistance, 'sept for the intrest of those aboard. It is true that membership don't count for trapper brigade points<G> ...and time spent here may or may not advance you in the eyes of "the Brotherhood"<G> *So you perhaps question, the "importance" of Rangernet chatter- I know I do from time to time.. even when kick'n the bee hive over, or reaching out to share a thought.. The green light is on for free speech and open communication, and for me personaly.. that has been a lifetime bounty of worth.<G> Rangernet could have rules and regulations, and the conversation would then be narrow and dry, without life or passion. In 1994 "someone" Told me that *He had never heard of Royal Rangers and that a conversation then did not warrent the existance of a usenet or .alt.org slot on the Internet... "I beleved" him wrong. I honestly didn't go nose to nose "smokeing his head" over his ignorance, I went ahead posting to total blankness a Royal Ranger signal..
