Hello all. I’m a newbie here, just looking around and trying features, so there.
It occurs to me that our putative leaders are certain that no one knows any history any longer. I hope they will be rudely surprised.
We seem to be living a slightly more “civilized” version of the Wars of the Roses, a real-life Game of Thrones, with Sauron instead of the White King.

Those that forget their history are doomed to repeat it.
Here’s to rudely surprising the political class. Welcome Donovan.
Thanks very much. I truly hope we do.
How do I add a profile picture? I’d like to use the one I use in my YouTube account, so y’all can recognize me.
If you go to Members, then Donovan’s Content, there’s an edit profile button top right. The site is a bit slow at the moment, whole lot of new members. Scott is always good with help if you have problems but be gentle with him, he’s been busy with trying to deal with the increased volme. 🙂
Will do, thanks. He’s already responded to a question I had about one the “welcome” emails that includes a link to a PDF. My browser gave me an error message, but still downloaded the file.
I noticed how slow the site is compared to a mirrored and distributed network. How many members are there, and what is the server connection’s bandwidth?
Sorry, I geek sometimes. I was a systems analyst at the height of my foray into computers, then in early retirement I ran a chat website for ten years as an act of love, and out of my pocket.
I was disheartened by the beasts Facebook, YouTube, various attempts at hacking, stealing content, and surveillance by all kinds of interesting people. I gave it up in 2018.
