Jfred the Phenomenal, it's good to see you still in the pink. Admittedly an unfounded wild guess, but you must be fairly pink to even read, let alone post. One must grasp at straws these days as the pension funds seem to be solving their own problem with baby boomers in serious trouble with age-related demise. Clicking back upstream, you must have been amused to see CB and X-the known having a cat-fight. Not of your no-doubt preferred Lolita style of course - a physical manifestation of the conflict would not want to be in a mud bath and Rambi's zone was certainly not a mud bath. I guess this is the way Islam and Christianity got going. Rambi starts it off, gets a following of the broad ideology, dies, then acolytes fight and there is a schism with two conflicting territorial temporalists going their separate ways but fighting over who had the one true word. Maybe SI needs a mechanism for streams to divide in two, with people having to choose one or the other and the original ceasing to exist other than as headwaters of the new streams. Christianity divided into a lot more than two streams, so I guess SI streams could do the same. Anyway, there are probably not the numbers to sustain so many streams and they'd end up in Dry Gulches. But Christianity was just a few hopefuls to start and they took over Rome and a lot more besides, burning witches at the stake in their thousands. Not that either Jesus or Rambi would approve of such activity. So perhaps SI will become transcendent too. I'd like to be Treasurer, you could wear the swishy clothes as a High Priest. Epicure could be the Excommunicator and Heretic Hariddan. CB could do the legal work. RAMBI would be a pretty cool sounding religion, combining Ramadan, Ramses, Ram. Ram is an Indian word too, so very inclusive. Bi is ambiguous, allowing the meaning to be anything we choose and even homosexuals and bis could be members [ummm... in a manner of speaking]. Ram is easily pronounced, has a positive forceful, succinct presence. Maybe it could supersede all those problematic messes. We even have Rambi's actual words recorded for posterity and the interpretations thereof could be fought over for millennia. Official Slogan = Tempus Fugit and everyone can change habits, wearing anything they like, doing anything they like. jfred has already set the tone. Change habits. Great for the fashion industry. Employment will boom. Mqurice
