Now is the time to attack the Republicans for plotting war against Iran, for raping the Constitution. It's time to <b>stop</b> complaining and moralizing. It is time to take control. BTW, the reason the press jumped on this one, imho, and not the others, is that it fits the template of previous political catastrophes. "Who knew what when?" Just like Watergate and Lewinsky. The war with Iran and the raping of the Constitution don't fit. That doesn't make them right, or wrong.

I have to do something about getting the source to the scripts in various root files available in text format (as opposed to <a href="http://images.scripting.com/archiveScriptingCom/2006/10/05/threadscript.gif">outlines</a>) so they could be included as well. So much of the functionality of the OPML Editor is implemented in script.

Not true. How could you replace a laptop with something with a power cord? I bought the mini for my new TV set, which arrives (knock wood) later today.

I've cleaned up the file names, set the dates correctly (according to the archive.org <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20050209013712/http://secrets.scripting.com/">backup</a>) and put them into one zip file. Uploading now. I haven't listened to them all to be sure they are what they say they are, hopefully we can do that together.
