Maria has a very valid point.

She says,

Dear Demis and Scribes: Like it or not you are special. Your names are in special categories on the comm panel and you have unknown powers that are unknowable to people who are NOT Demis and Scribes. You are generally thought to be connected to Jot (the site owner) through some amorphous and unknowable (perhaps mystical) bond that is indecipherable by people who are NOT Demis and Scribes.

I agree. I am sure that Maria, Decius, Aulus, and anyone else who is on the com panel get grammed when there is no other on...because we are at the top of the list. But this fact is arbertary. It is not important.

This is not important though. We still get on just fine, I think. At least I do.

Dear Former Scribes: Like it or not you are special. You have served as one of the publicly recognized leaders at this site, and you still are designated as having served in this capacity. Whether you served a day or a year or more… you were and are a publicly recognized leader at AW, and you are seen as such both by Joe Newbie, and by those of us who have been around since the bright beginning.

Thank you Maria. You are one of the only to acknowledge us. We tried our best, and maybe our best wasn't good enough, but it was all we knew how. If no one else but Maria acknowleges us, I feel appreciated.

And the most important...

Dear Patrons, Citizens, Novices and Daylings: The site can't run without admins. It ain't possible. The site admins are not perfect. Even George Washington wasn't perfect (and he's the most perfect historical personage I've ever heard of). But mostly the site admins try hard and mostly they succeed.

Definately.. What Maria said. We have a problem her ein Washington State, where we are trying to open the state up, but there are those who want to split.

I suggesst the "different board" trick or not plug your headphones in as deep. Sometimes that has an effect.

AW is my Shrangri-La for right now. I have to find out what other adults think about history. I seriously like telling Aulus something and having him tell me, "Cute".

I wasn't trying to be cute. I was being serious, and I was trying to change America. America isn't cute, but Lions of today. Lions are cute when they are babys, but I don't think they are cute when they grow up. They are predators, and King of the Jungle.

England has the Lion and the Unicorn, so What does America have? THe Lion and the Eagle?
