David,
Ingenious, worth a read and a chuckle. Is this called a parody?

This is a rough draft.
______________________
Year 23
Conversation between host and cavers:
Host: Folks I am having a feast in the year 25,
two years from now.
Caver #1: Yo, homey, you ain't with the Roman Empire.
Host: Yeh, but this is special feast.
Caver #2: Dude, get with the program. You are going
about it all wrong.
Host: I have special fish.
Caver # 3 We ain't riding our camels across the scorchin'
desert for your stinkin fish.
Host: I have a fancy grill.
Caver # 4 Dude, your missing the point. We don't eat fish.
We only eat butterfly pasta with tofu.
Host: But you have never had fish like this.
Caver # 5 Stop pestering us about this.
Year 24
Host: The big feast is just a year away.
Caver # 6: Who the f*ck are you ? What gives you
the right?
Host: The cavers here need a feast.
Caver # 7 You ain't playing with a full-deck dude.
The date of your feast is ridiculous.
Host: But I have other places to be on the other
side of the country.
Caver # 8 We are tired of hearing about your drama.
It is all about, "look at me, look what I am doing."
Host: I am just having a big feast for crying out loud.
Why all the fuss?
Caver # 9 Dude I am out of here. We are done talking.
Year 25
Host: Feast a success. Thanks for coming.

David,
It's me, David, from the future.
It's taken the better part of a decade to do this, but I'm sending this from
the future to tell you... to tell me... that something awful has happened.
Things haven't been the same since Tzar Zuckerberg of Facebook merged
Wal-Mart with the Department of Defense, but aside from the general hardship
of life in the year 2035, sending an e-mail back in time is just not an easy
task. I won't go into all the details, but it took 1.21 jigalumens of LED
light and a 17th generation Facebook Blackberry to do it.
You wouldn't believe the inaccurate treatment of caving in all the movies
and shows I watch on Facebook. I've compiled a spreadsheet of all the ones
I've encountered and will be sending that back in time also, once I can
stockpile enough AA batteries to do so.
Getting back to the reason I'm sending this... It's me. I mean you. It's us,
David. I've seen the error of our ways. Ever since the exodus of 2012,
Texans don't cave anymore. Nobody knew about the trips anymore because
everyone quit the TexasCavers e-mail list. If only they'd switched to
Facebook. Tzar Zuckerberg's mandate of 2017 made it illegal to quit
Facebook. They'd all still be connected, and we'd be caving right now, or at
least talking on Facebook about caving trips a few of us went on in the
1970s.
The point is that I ruined it. You ruined it. We spammed Facebook with the
most banal off topic minutia of our life and everyone left. Once everyone
was off the list, they all just forgot about caving all together. I, you,
collected thousands of flashlights and headlamps for the day when caving
came back, but it never did. It had been like a game figuring out how to
make my mundane passing thoughts tangentially related to caving in whatever
irrelevant manner possible. If I'd wanted to dispatch a manifesto on
bathroom tissue, I would have, because bowel movements do not stop for
caving, and one time, while caving, I thought I might need to make a burrito
bag, but alas, I did not. The threat was real, though, this I assure you.
What the e-mail list should have been used for all along is simply
dispatching information about upcoming caving trips, sharing trip reports
from recent caving trips, and hosting the occasional meaty conversation
about a cave related topic such as cave geology, biology, safety, even a
Werner Herzog film about a cave.
It's time to stop using this e-mail list as a vanity fueled megaphone for
our ramblings. Maybe our closest friends care about all we have to say, but
those people out there on the e-mail list aren't all our closest friends.
Many of them have never even met us. I see now that sending e-mails like
that out just damages the community because we're running people off who
might otherwise participate in this list if it weren't congested with our
terrible posts. If we stop now, in the year 2011, which the great exodus
looming, maybe caving can be saved. I really want to have a use for all
these flashlights and headlamps.
Although, on the topic of bathroom tissue, if you ever need any, I highly
recommend Facebook Brand Bum Wipes. They're strong, and absorbent. I haven't
had any of them tear on me yet. They could be softer, but I'll take utility
over comfort any day. I've pushed the LIKE button on their Facebook page,
and I recommend that all of you do too.

A subsidiary of The People's Republic of Facebook
P.S. You all should really go on Facebook and download the new Wu-Tang
single when it comes out in 2020. I listened to it the other day while
looking at my old caving photos on Facebook (which makes it on topic) and
it's really excellent. I never thought I'd like Classical Music, but the
gunshot sound effects on this one really are sublime. Also, in the early
nineties they were considered 'undgeround' and caving is an underground
activity. So it's doubly on topic.
P.P.S. I'm going to go Facebook my Facebook Facebook. Facebook.

I think the strain of planning NaturFest has gotten to David and he has gone
off the deep end. I know what to get him for Christmas, it is white with long
sleeves and straps that buckle in the back. :(

With all due respect - if David did not write the below, I find it to be
completely inappropriate.
Best of wishes to all of those having fun at NaturFest.

David,
It's me, David, from the future.
It's taken the better part of a decade to do this, but I'm sending this from
the future to tell you... to tell me... that something awful has happened.
Things haven't been the same since Tzar Zuckerberg of Facebook merged Wal-Mart
with the Department of Defense, but aside from the general hardship of life in
the year 2035, sending an e-mail back in time is just not an easy task. I won't
go into all the details, but it took 1.21 jigalumens of LED light and a 17th
generation Facebook Blackberry to do it.
You wouldn't believe the inaccurate treatment of caving in all the movies and
shows I watch on Facebook. I've compiled a spreadsheet of all the ones I've
encountered and will be sending that back in time also, once I can stockpile
enough AA batteries to do so.
Getting back to the reason I'm sending this... It's me. I mean you. It's us,
David. I've seen the error of our ways. Ever since the exodus of 2012, Texans
don't cave anymore. Nobody knew about the trips anymore because everyone quit
the TexasCavers e-mail list. If only they'd switched to Facebook. Tzar
Zuckerberg's mandate of 2017 made it illegal to quit Facebook. They'd all still
be connected, and we'd be caving right now, or at least talking on Facebook
about caving trips a few of us went on in the 1970s.
The point is that I ruined it. You ruined it. We spammed Facebook with the most
banal off topic minutia of our life and everyone left. Once everyone was off
the list, they all just forgot about caving all together. I, you, collected
thousands of flashlights and headlamps for the day when caving came back, but
it never did. It had been like a game figuring out how to make my mundane
passing thoughts tangentially related to caving in whatever irrelevant manner
possible. If I'd wanted to dispatch a manifesto on bathroom tissue, I would
have, because bowel movements do not stop for caving, and one time, while
caving, I thought I might need to make a burrito bag, but alas, I did not. The
threat was real, though, this I assure you.
What the e-mail list should have been used for all along is simply dispatching
information about upcoming caving trips, sharing trip reports from recent
caving trips, and hosting the occasional meaty conversation about a cave
related topic such as cave geology, biology, safety, even a Werner Herzog film
about a cave.
It's time to stop using this e-mail list as a vanity fueled megaphone for our
ramblings. Maybe our closest friends care about all we have to say, but those
people out there on the e-mail list aren't all our closest friends. Many of
them have never even met us. I see now that sending e-mails like that out just
damages the community because we're running people off who might otherwise
participate in this list if it weren't congested with our terrible posts. If we
stop now, in the year 2011, which the great exodus looming, maybe caving can be
saved. I really want to have a use for all these flashlights and headlamps.
Although, on the topic of bathroom tissue, if you ever need any, I highly
recommend Facebook Brand Bum Wipes. They're strong, and absorbent. I haven't
had any of them tear on me yet. They could be softer, but I'll take utility
over comfort any day. I've pushed the LIKE button on their Facebook page, and I
recommend that all of you do too.

P.S. You all should really go on Facebook and download the new Wu-Tang single
when it comes out in 2020. I listened to it the other day while looking at my
old caving photos on Facebook (which makes it on topic) and it's really
excellent. I never thought I'd like Classical Music, but the gunshot sound
effects on this one really are sublime. Also, in the early nineties they were
considered 'undgeround' and caving is an underground activity. So it's doubly
on topic.
P.P.S. I'm going to go Facebook my Facebook Facebook. Facebook.

to be funny.

Wow! Now Bill is sending messages from the future, too. His message was sent at
9:16 PM, but I received it at 8:17 PM. This is really getting spooky.
