Future Hi

Hi
I am Dale. I do a lot of things. Among them I run and maintain a few web sites, groups, forums, run a ISP biz, have a EM band (Inquisitor Betrayer) , run sound for a few local bands, have a day job and such. Plenty of things.

I am adding to that list. I will be the new person keeping Future Hi up and running. Over the next few days to weeks, as time permits, I will be removing the spam, altering some donation buttons and other minor things.

I don't really want to change Future Hi other than pushing more in the directions it seems to want to go now. In other words, I would like to see a lot more activity from the great minds who visit here. I will try very hard to see that what these minds have to offer is presented and kept with respect.

Spam is a issue I see that I can kept at a low and take care of when I find it. Do give me a hand with this. If you see something that does not belong, note me via email.

I wont be the only one monitoring and maintain. My band member lends a hand too. Wes is his name. I am sure he will leave a note for introductions soon. There are others in my group from time to time will also lend a hand.

Don't let the word monitoring give you the 1984 chills... we mean it in, we will be looking for spam and removing. Freedom of expressions can take many forms, we know this but if any saw the links posted in a few blog entries, you know that a line was crossed that just went a bit beyond.

I will be checking into the forum too. I know some entries there need to be moved now or adjusted to a more suitable forum.

Any suggestions, offers for help, words of wisdom and such, will be appreciated.

I would like each of our great contributors to drop me a email so I can met you and see if you have any special needs or something more I can do to help you in your contributions to the community. I can place in chat rooms here and other goodies as needed if need be.

I would also like to gather more contributors into the community too. Any advice or leads to this, do let me know.

Don't you just hate spam. I fight a daily neverending battle.

Wow, what a coincidence! Hi Dale, fellow member of the Tangerine Dream discussion group... :-)

I used to love this site. It focused on things that were not so easy to find in the everyday humdrum of life. But now, I see that the last 2 posts have started to focus on a political agenda. Yes, there have been other posts that discussed politics, but they were interlaced with a point that was trying to be made. The 2 posts I refer to are just blatantly political. I guess I will need to find another site that is able to steer away from the negativity that is so pervasive in our culure.

Thanks for the de-spam ... I'm not able to be at my PC as much as I used to these days ... Very much appreciated!

PEACE

got it ..
I don't think I am going to go back much further than 1 Aug 2006 to clean out the spam unless someone notes me. Then of course, I will get in there and remove.

Thanks for the note.

Would you do me a favor and remove or edit the July 27th post "Free Will: All the Way Down". This is a word for word copy of one of my earlier blog posts, without attribution.
Thanks,
