Modern geeks often have little sense of history, Joe, or appreciate the concept of a historical perspective. There are no "weird stuff" messages, Joe, only weird interpetations of otherwise clearly relevant vanagon messages, from my view.

Very few people realize, such as Don evidentally does, that 150 years, or so, ago, it was horses like Silver, Scout, Trigger and Buttercup who were the "vanagons" of their day. They carried food, water, sleeping rolls and provided companionship to us cowboys and cowgals on the long dusty trail, much like our modern vanagons of today do.

Anyone who denies such relevancies is prolly a narrow minded geek, eh? Maybe a snob, too.

Best regards,

Dave
