An excellent resource. See U in Philly!!

Yep. An excellent resource! It also an electronic traffic cop shooing
all of the customers over to the guys who "play ball" with the
politicians. How much do we have to contribute to participate?
For me, I'll still buy my water ice and cheesesteaks from the little
guy who is still trying to feed his family.
Cheers,
Joel

Jeez, are you guys selling advertising again?
I see. It is an advertisement for where the Trial Lawyers will be
eating their lunches. You know. The Trial Lawyers who contributed $8
million and got those nice fat tobacco settlements in return.
To me it looks like you guys are spamming newsgroups with commercial
messages. Is this correct? I thought that usenet was the last bastion
of commercial-free stuff.

I got some advice for Geo. Bush and the Republicans. Stay out of
usenet with commercial stuff!
In usenet, Geo. Bush and Joel Eichen are equal. Over here, he is not
the Governor.
Go back to surveillance of the high school kids who are busy at 11th
and Sansom painting the protest signs and puppets.
Cheers,
Joel M. Eichen

Foolishly cross-posted all around usenet, as are my replies!
See you in Philly.

And a very bad effort too. I hope this is not a harbinger of what's to
come with Philadelphia's new interest in tourism.

What I do not understand is this: They are talking big bucks. They are
talking $400 million in direct and indirect benefits. So why are they
spamming newsgroups to pass the word? Are they running low on dough?
I understand the stay at home, single-mom houswife who is trying to
sell water fountains on the internet. I understand why she is hell
bent on spamming newsgroups. But Governor Bush and the Republicans?
Why? Why? Why?
Please.
Cheers,
Joel
PS-Please forward this to Texas if possible, I do not have either of
the George Bushes' e-mail addresses. I got Barbara Bush's address, but
I do not want to bother her.
Say? Is she interested in running for president?

It's *ancillary*. Also "accommodations" and "restaurants."
Normally I don't bother with others' spelling on Usenet, but
since the site described is full of spelling errors, I thought it
relevant to mention them.

Not.
This site has a lot in common with the 1926 Sesquicentennial:
Not Ready. Everything looks thrown together. Links aren't ready,
the proliferation of animated GIFs really make this site
cephalalgic and cheesy, the spelling sucks (e.g. Julius Irving,
"it's" instead of "its"), and there's no rhyme or reason to the
layout, color scheme or site navigation. This site persistently
freezes IE 4.5 for me.
Doesn't say much for the designer/firm (one person?) if all
of their site is under construction, or if this GOP site (their
only site?) uses editor-generated script stolen from another site
just to use rollovers. I've also seen better "under construction"
notices before.

Interesting. I missed that. Of course, you are correct. It should be
spell checked.

I bet that paid thousands for it. Anything city or government
connected seems to be a gravy train for some people. They are
salivating so much they forget to do it right!

I just heard that Stephanie Franklin-Suber's interior designer had a
hand in it -- and she is not giving back the furniture either!

or two messages instead of 10? Not that I'm disagreeing with what you type,
it's just that when I open a thread stating 14 messages, I don't expect over
2/3 to come from the same person.

OK. Just curious. Is this why others do not post? Are they being
squeezed out?

Bad spelling and poorly done....did Stan get into web site design now?
