A proposal for a new newsgroup: ba.history This is not meant to sarcasm. There's a heck of a lot of history floating around in BA newsgroups. The BA is an everchanging myrid of twisty little passages, all alike. A heck of a lot of poeple could contribute in an effort towards a unique history, a newsgroup possibly. We've seen cherry and almond orchards turn into condos, bridges blown up, artichokes turned to weed, and power plants that warm our waters. Psychadelic mushrooms are getting sparse, and the Berkeley phenonomon is oh-so everchaning. High-Tech, companies build, then flutter. Earthquakes crumble. Highways [re]built from one-lane roads, and politicians that can't think beyond their lifespan. Were forgetting to write history as its perceived. -sw

They describe yourself and not your circumstance. If I had my way, I'd abolish these two words from ever being used again. "I'm sorry" is a state of being. If you say it enough, eventually you'll become it. - Rodney Chen <rchen@best.com>

--Um, another thing you might do is a keyword search on "Clamper"
and "ECV". Amongst other things they value (ha-ha) one of the things is an
abiding interest in the history of the old west, BA included. There are a
couple of Clamper homepages on the net; lotsa fun, too... :-)

You might occasionally see a white oval sticker, similar to european country stickers, with "ECV" in sort of old fashion black letters instead of the more typical "DE" in bold san serif. A short history: http://www.sonnet.com/eqdir/clamper/skunks.html -jrp (not a clamper but interested in local history)

I tried to subscribe to alt.history.californian-controversy , but nobody posts to it... Then, most folks version of history fits better into the category of urban myths... cw
