Subj : Khontrol. To : Alan Ianson From : Lee Lofaso Date : Tue Nov 15 2022 05:23 pm Hello Alan, >>> It's not about Khontrol, it's simply a place for sysops to discuss what >>> they want to discuss with other sysops. >> Yes, it is. There is absolutely no doubt it is about Khontrol. AI> What Khontrol is it that you speak of? Only the kind that fools believe. >> A meeting is when people get together for any reason. An echo is >> an area for people to get together, for any reason. You have stated >> yourself this is such an echo - a place for sysops to discuss what >> they want to discuss with other sysops. >> So far, so good. That is a concept I believe all can agree on. AI> Good. Sysops are able to do that now. in this echo, and elsewhere. And yet, you claim not to be a happy camper. >> But that is not the question. AI> I see a deflection coming on. Not at all. >> What you are suggesting is for sysops to have meetings in secret. >> Where only they can play. With nobody else around. AI> We are not meeting in secret. We are having a discussion amongst ourselves. With others present. Which is what your gripe is, and of which you have been unable to explain why. >> When sysops are sneeking to meet, notably as secret lovers, it is >> called a *tryst*. Do you understand what the origin of the word is? AI> I understand the word but you are using it incorrectly. We are not lovers or AI> sneaking anything. My apologies for the typo. The word is "seeking" - as it is very clear there are others aside from sysops who are present in this echo. >> The word comes from Middle English, and originally referred to a >> designated hunting station. AI> There is no hunt. The word "tryst" means "a designated hunting station" - not that there is necessarily anything to hunt or worth hunting. IOW, a place to meet, in secret, to do things only sysops would want to do amongst themselves. >> But every time they try to gather, somebody lets the sunshine in, >> and we all know what happens next. AI> No, the echo is leaking. You are not the first leak and you won't be the AI> last. Do you beat your meat? Be honest. You're a guy. But to do it as a group ... With others watching ... Now that is what I call the greatest show on earth! Even though nobody could beat Jim Morrison's act ... "I can do anything!" ~Jim Morrison For Life, Lee -- No Trump! No KKK!
