One thing I do miss about alt.callahans...

[johnpalmer]

... are the PLAQUE posts, to honor the dead. It's something to do, when there's literally nothing you can do.

To too-damn-many people - 199 at the last count I saw - murdered in Madrid, and to the hundreds and hundreds of injured...

And to the many multiples of people with gaps in their lives, and pain in their hearts.

And finally... to justice. I hope it comes swiftly and surely.

Let's all remember that some 900 days ago, Spain stood and mourned for us... and hope that there will never be a chance to return this sad favor to yet another country.

(To those who don't understand, alt.callahans is a virtual bar... this is thus written as a toast, which would be followed by pitching my glass in the fireplace.)

[And, um, John, there's a typo that really changes your meaning, there -- I think you want PLAQUE, not PLAGUE.]

Thanks... I suffered from runaway fingers, I imagine... started typing a word and just finished a different one.

There's enough alt.callahans ex-pat's here that we know what you mean.

No reason why the tradition shouldn't be continued.
