I can only hope it was a Conservative Democrat if there is any such thing. >> There are quite a few Democrats who are big TAGS fans (me for one, Judge Joel Laird of Calhoun County, Alabama for another, former Clinton advisor James Carville for yet another). But I think Mayberry's true magic here is that it cuts across party and ideological lines. Heck, we've previously discussed the lack of black people in Mayberry--I have quite a few black friends who *love* the show.

I was scrolling the list today and about to reply about the comment on Andy's politics and was glad that Allan addressed that issue for me. What our hero Andy does and believes in is certainly his business and it's what makes our country the greatest in the world. Now that we have cleared that up on the WBMUTBB, maybe someday we can do something about the "fans" who post mostly for a profit. If it continues, I think i'll post the horse hairs I have for sale. Great for putting in stagnation water, you know. Loved the posting about the mail Phil Fox got from Mr. Melvin and good ole Harv--real prince of fellas they are!!!!!!! Mayberryingly yours, Mike Peacock ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 11 Nov 2000 19:22:09 -0500 (EST) From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Suzanne Burgess) Subject: wbmutbb-digest #V2-369 I was offended by the remark that implied that Democrats don't have the ideals portrayed by TAGS. I am a Democrat and have high ideals. I'm sure all Republicans are not the same either. I have both as friends and we have no problems being true, blue friends, we don't judge each other by the way we vote, only the way we live and treat other people.

I really enjoy reading all the interesting things about TAGS and the postings on the bulletin board. I would like to know how to become active, instead of just reading! ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 11 Nov 2000 22:59:03 EST From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Political Party I'm curious...Share some of Andy's Republican ideals with us. ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 11 Nov 2000 23:32:42 EST From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Politics Sorry, I wrote my question before I read Allan's note. ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 11 Nov 2000 23:43:58 -0500 From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Fw: ANDY'S POLITICAL ACTIVITY - ----- Original Message ----- From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Saturday, November 11, 2000 11:42 PM Subject: ANDY'S POLITICAL ACTIVITY > I WAS PROUD TO SEE ANDY CAMPAIGN FOR A DEMOCRAT.MAYBERRY WAS A DEMOCRATIC > TOWN AS WAS NORTH CAROLINA OVERWHELMINGLY DURING THE TIME WHEN THE ANDY > GRIFFITH SHOW WAS FILMED.

Actually we started a year earlier with the TAGS bulletin board subject on Prodigy. So, at least for you and I Allan, it's the big 1-0. Happy anniversary. When Allan started this thing, he took great care to nurture this board, much as he does now. Sure, there were a few Ben Weavers who came through town, but Mr. Newsome had a way of ushering them out to the county line. The subjects back then were much the same as they are now, except that we have a bigger knowledge base and with the website, more sophistication. In the beginning, Allan took care of the board, and I took the duties of "resident expert" which Paul handles so well now. Keep in mind that those who have been here for several years have seen so much duplication of questions and subjects by our population. Yes, it can get tedious at times, but think about Allan and myself going over this repetition for 10 years! But that's okay because new people coming through want and need to cover these subjects, so Allan keeps the ball rolling as if they are being asked for the first time. For those of you who have met Allan, you already know what a great guy he is, who exemplifies the true spirit of Mayberry. He is one of the few quality people who rate a "10" in my life, and I'm proud of our 10 years together. And for all of the hard work that you've done over the years that makes this an enjoyable experience for us, I raise my glass to you Allan, and say "Happy Anniversary" and thank ya, thank ya, thank ya. And to our other WBMUTBB charter members, Kathy Jo Stahl and Jack Fellenzer, maybe you guys can check in here and give your own salute to our founder. I thought that maybe for the rest of November, when we post here, we could all mention how long we've been a member. It doesn't matter if it's been 5 days or 5 years. Thanks to all our contributors who make this a great place to visit.

PLEASE do NOT continue discussing Politics here on the Digest. IF people continue, I will put a block on all coments that relate to politics in any way. Thank you all, Allan ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 12 Nov 2000 14:00:00 EST From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Freedom of Speech << Allan, there is still freedom of speech on the Internet. Sorry if you are offended by my opinion. If I am not welcome, just say so and I will go away. >> Let me explain this one more time. This "Digest" is for talking about The Andy Griffith Show and things related to Mayberry. I agree 100% that "freedom of speech" is alive and well on the internet and I support that BUT, this mailing list has a purpose (which I stated above) and it will remain at least somewhat "on topic." That does not deny anyone "freedom of speech" because ANYONE that likes to can set up a mailing list to talk about "Politics" and folks can go there and talk all they'd like to about politics. I support that right will all my heart. I also believe that since this mailing list is for talking about TAGS and Mayberry related issues that this is NOT the place to discuss politics. I hope that most of you understand that position and will understand that I'm not keeping ANY of you from speaking your mind on ANY topic. I'm just saying that THIS is not the place to discuss EVERYTHING. Freedom of Speech is a wonderful thing and I'm proud of our rights. I also know that my right to freedom of speech is not without bounds anywhere in this country and our WBMUTBB Digest is no exception. You can't, and shouldn't, go into a theater and yell "FIRE". Respect the rules and things run smooth. Don't respect the rules, and the world is out of control.

BARN !!! I'll tell you if you tell me. Maybe some politics would be okay? (NOTE FROM ALLAN: Yeah, some's okay.....so long as it's TAGS related like the above.) ------------------------------ End of wbmutbb-digest V2 #370 ***************************** ************************************************** ~ Visit our sponsor ~ Weaver's Department Store ~ http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/weavers/ ************************************************** You must send your comments to the Digest from the address you used to join WBMUTBB or your message will not be posted.
