It seems Tony was the central driving force of this group for many
years. And now that he is taking a well deserved break, some former
regulars who absolutely *lived* for Tony's posts seem to have lost
interest in the group.
If/when Tony returns, it will be interesting to see how many of his
adoring fans come running back to demonstrate for all of us just much
they missed him.
Most of what we are getting these days is Lightweight and his

And as several people have told him, his typing style is simply
unreadable so his posts go largely unread. Sad that he goes to all that
extra effort, only to have nobody read it.

Ah yes, all that time wishing cancer on people, taunting people who wer
looking after relatives with cancer, telling other people to be aware of
late-night knocks at the door, lying, libelling, and demeaning non-white,
non-hetero people while simultaneously wallowing in the seedier drug and sex
related usenet groups and claiming to be a Christian must have EXHAUSTED the
poor little flower. I hope he isn't suffering some sort of long-term illness
brought on by his massive steroid abuse or staggering cognitive dissonance,
the health authorities really don't deserve him.

From my understanding, 'Tony' has been exiled (atleast under the USERNAME "Tony").
But, not to worry, look around, you will still find him here (just using a different name) !!!

Nothing new to Prophesize ... I Guess (at least for NOW).
OR, maybe its just a time to reflect on the situations of the past 30 days (and I don't just
mean what has happened in the United States -> hundreds of people have been "swept away" in
recent flooding in Romania [yet, no one seems to care]) !!!

The flooding is a natural disaster, but thankfully the death toll seems
to be relatively low. I have not seen a news article that says hundreds
of people were "swept away."
Meanwhile there are brush fires burning in California, with many people
evacuating as approaching fire threatens their homes.

Thanks for asking :
Actually the 'Death Toll' in Romania has reach the thousands, but no one seems to be
concerned.
So far, I have seen nothing more than a 'Two Line' commentary on North America News Channels
about the situation in Romania. (I guess that because the have no 'exploitable' Natural
Resources, no one seems to care at all.)
Atleast the POOR people of New Orleans have another 'neglected' region of the world that they
can 'relate too' !!!

Emergency loan, natural disaster relief to Romania
Wednesday, 28 September 2005, 6:44 pm
Press Release: European Commission
EIB provides emergency loan of up to EUR 600 million for natural
disaster relief to Romania
In response to the catastrophic floods that hit Romania during the
summer 2005 the European Investment Bank (EIB) is considering to put in
place in close co-ordination with the Romanian Administration an
emergency programme in an amount of up to EUR 600 million for the
financing of the necessary measures to repair and upgrade the damaged
road and rail infrastructure of the country.
During the floods, which started in April/May 2005, infrastructure in
some areas in Banat was affected. The July floods hit Oltenia, whereas
Moldova was hit by floods in August. The floods in September affected
infrastructure in some areas of Dobrogea. Romania has seen already six
waves of floods this year. Lately, the events have started to affect
the capital of Bucharest.
The envisaged EIB facility complements the various corresponding loans,
namely EUR 240 million of the year 2000 and another EUR 300 million
(covering damages of floods that occurred in years 2001 until 2004) due
to be signed by the end of 2005 for flood damaged roads reconstruction
as well as EUR 350 million scheduled for signature in 2006 for flood
prevention measures. This combination of several facilities aims at
addressing short-term reconstruction measures as well as medium term
prevention schemes to avert the obviously increasing frequency of
natural disasters occurring in the region and elsewhere.
The envisaged emergency facility will be broken down in two separate
parts addressing the respective needs in roads reconstruction and rail
rehabilitation. For both transport modes it will cover the necessary
rehabilitation works of bridges, river beds, embankments and feeding
roads.
The EIB and the Romanian authorities are already in advanced stages of
negotiation. This facility is to be seen of forming part of the
disaster relief measures of the European Union.
Mr. Wolfgang Roth, EIB Vice-President, stated: "The EIB will support
Romania in the reconstruction after the recent disastrous floods being
without precedence within the recent decades. In this regard the Bank
prepares long-term loans up to 30 years with a ten year-grace period.
Under the current situation Romania needs long-term financing that
should not be in contradiction to the strict IMF-criteria imposed on
Romania recently."

Was it always thus with newsgroups. Busy then quiet, people
come...linger...go.
I find it very hard to understand why anyone should express sadness at
the absence of 'thick neck' Zanowic.
We may all be guilty of a...hasty...post at times, but a tirade of
messages inviting a young girl to take sleeping tablets and to kill
herself is beyond any sort of redemption.

I wasn't expressing sadness, although I got along fine with Tony...it was
just a much more lively group when all of the old crew were around. I know
some still are, and that's great...but Lightweight and the nuts from
alt.religion.whatever are getting tiresome.

Dani's got more balls than a lot of men...and I mean that as a compliment.

You mean bloody Grantland? You have to be joking.
The man is a lunatic, a bore and a racist of the most extreme variety.
He is barely coherent, universally detested and...most important...he
lied.
Grantland is NOT wheel chair bound. It's his 'sympathy' touch, and
since I revealed that fact, Grantland has left.

Hell no. It would become rather quiet!
There are quite a few who are fun. Distortions of reality, 'doom and
gloom' posts are all part of the enjoyment.
I draw the line at Grantland though. I fancy many agree with me there.
He's in a class of his own. He's not funny either.
