>>>>>I know there are many many old timers on here that hate change (I see
their
distane regularly!) but at some point it sure would be nice to get such a
valuable list more manageable and modernized. This would allow better
searching and client management, plus those of us who are not really
thrilled with Friday political rants can opt out of off time forums.

Hmmm... is this distane a viable substitute for octane.  Or perhaps it is a
cracking derivative of poontane.  More about this in a sec.


Modernized?  Heck we caint even git folks to use plain text.  A more
modernized list would bring on many more difficult problems.  Like RSS and
it's propensity to be hacked by evildoers.  <HTML> pooh, bah!


Now on to alternative fuels for our steadily decreasing population of
vanagons.  Ever hear of K85?  Not yet?  I suspect S85 is an alternative fuel
made from switchgrass (Never met one).  E85 is the bucket for all those
seetwoaitchfiveohatich fuels.  Now K85, that's a real deal.  Just think,
people will pay you to harvest theirs.  Requires no land preparation,
fertilizer, fencing or any such fol-de-rol.  I'm sure one of us like unca
joel can gin up a process to make K85.


Kudzu properly prepared could be a godsend to those in Kudzu country.
Yields, schmields, with all that Kudzu around you'd run out of freedom fry
oil before you ran out of Kudzu.  And, AND, no natural predators so you
don't have to spray for bugs, scale, mold and such.


Brilliant what some of these old guys can come up with using plain text 102
key keyboards and opposable thumbs.


FWIW further delicate catalytic cracking of K85 could produce poontane.  Be
the first at your office to run your car on poontane.  Think of the glory,
the fame, the endorsements, the following, better than smilin' Bob.
