Farimir Captain of Gondor · 03-29-2006, 07:49 PM

Let us break into the Cap'ns private stock and drink to floating in space.

Lotesse · 03-29-2006, 09:22 PM

I'm just popping in real quick to bid everyone a temporary adieu. It is time I took a vacation from Entmoot. Can't tell you all why, or I just might get banned for being frank.

Suffice it to say, it is time I found other ways to pass my time for a while. Time to get crackin' on some of those New Years Resolutions I listed - it's already the end of March, and I still have so much to do!

See you all! Have a great time. I will miss you guys, but I need a break.

I know! Me too! They NEVER happen in California, nor even the USA, for that matter. Damn those Texans with their clear skies and their ability to see most of the great astronomical wonders I have to beg someone to take me to go see!

(And I'd get turned down instantly, even if I was on vacation.)

Adios my dear Lotesse! Hope you come back once you are up to it. I go to cook.

Okay! Bye! We'll all miss you!
Make some good use of this time with your camera. I think you have some excellent photography skills.

Have a good time in RL.

Declaration of Principles
Declaration of principles concerning activities following the detection of extra-terrestrial intelligence. Passed at the General Assembly of the International Astronomical Union at Buenos Aries, Argentina, July 1991.
1. Any individual or institute believing that any sign of ETI has been detected should seek verification and confirmation before taking any further action.
2. Before making any such announcement, the discoverer should promptly notify all other observers or organizations which are parties to this Declaration. No public announcement should be made until the credibility of the report has been established. The discoverer should then inform his or her national authorities.
3. After concluding that the discovery is credible, the discoverer should inform the Control Bureau or the Astronomical Telegrams of the International Astronomical Union, and also the Secretary-General of the United Nations. Other organizations to be notified should include the Space Law, the International Telecommunications Union, and a Commission of the International Astronomical Union.
4. A confirmed detection of ETI should be disseminated promptly, openly, and widely by the mass media.
5. All data necessary for confirmation of detection should be made available to the international scientific community.
6. All data relating to the discovery should be recorded and stored permanently in a form which will make it available for future analysis.
7. If the evidence of detection is in the form of electromagnetic signals, the parties to this declaration should seek international agreement to protect the appropriate frequencies. Immediate notice should be sent to the General-Secretary of the International Telecommunications Union in Geneva.
8. No response to a signal or other evidence of ETI should be sent until appropriate consultations have taken place.
9. The SETI (Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence) Committee of the International Academy of Astronautics, in coordination with Commission 51 of the International Astronomical Union, will conduct a continuing review of [page cut off from here foreward].

You know, I don't post often or ever in this thread, but I feel a need to do so with these remarks. Let me point something out to you and whoever else seems to think that Lotesse or anyone was driven out of Entmoot. That is simply not the case and if she, you or anyone else leaves, it is by your own choice. I am frankly tired of reading posts by certian members, who continually attack the moderating team. We do our best to be fair to all members and it would be nice when a member complains to a mod or admin about a problem they are having on the board, if they would give that mod or admin the chance to evaluate the problem and try to fix it, before these complaining members go on the forum and bash the mods and make false implications about posts and opinions being deleted.

I have moderated Entmoot for five years now, and I must say that I have never been more frustrated in the behavior and lack of patients by some members in the last two days toward the mod team.

It is your choices to leave if you so wish. You are welcome to stay, but you and all other members are expected to abide by the rules that this board has set forth. If you can not do that, and think you would be happier elsewhere, then that is up to you. But, I am tired of stting back and listening to this mod bashing any longer.

**Nurvingiel** · 03-29-2006, 10:56 PM

Nice to see you in here SGH! You can come for fun times too.

Care for some South African Rooibos tea? No caffeine!

Or if caffenation is your goal, I'm still serving fairly traded, organic Ethiopian medium roast coffee.

edit: BTW Spock it looks like your Photobucket bandwidth has been used up.

Hiya Nurv, good to see you.

How about a nice cold beer? I picked a bad day to give up alcohol.

klatukatt · 03-29-2006, 11:08 PM
