Re: The WO blog is now nearly moribund.....
You wanted me to coordinate sending you HTML file back-ups of WO blog posts. I'm not sure how many I can attach to an email. I know....might be easier to put them on a flash drive or SD card and mail it to me. My mailing address, as most people have realized by now, is on my company's website. ....

Re: Trump subthread: Awful Command and Control of ICBMs
Eric Schlosser wrote Command and Control , a book and later documentary on the history of US nuclear weapons and the endless accidents that happened during the Cold War. I recently read this--highly recommended. The USAF did something incredibly stupid, they fielded the Titan II as an "interdi...

The DM makes it up AND OTHER OUTLETS REPEAT IT. That is the problem--not that the DM is fast and loose.

Re: WP Admin Floquenbeam seems to be mentally unbalanced
Oh, if only you could figure out more about both Floq and Rambling Man.....there's an ugly little story here that isn't being told, because their fellow Wikipedians would rather be tortured in a dungeon than to fink on some of their friends.
