Hi all, In the not too distant past, I was thinking (Yeah, I know….dangerous!) that apart from SETI@Home and any other BOINC/distributed computing projects, will anybody do anything for nothing anymore?? All sense of community spirit seems to have been lost! (Well, over this side of the pond it has!) So…..as an attempt to ‘restore’ some community spirit, I have set up a completely FREE to use, no catch (I promise), international classifieds directory, so people can buy and sell their things online for FREE. This is not intended as a commercial message, but that of an informative one that I hope you all may find useful, and help, once again, to bring a sense of community back! Please visit FlogIt4Free.com – there might be stuff just dying to be turned into a crunching farm! Thanks, Jonathan |

Hi all, If this was a rhetorical question, than please disregard the following soapbox tirade. Community spirit has gone by the wayside for the most part because of the me-first generation teaching their kids...welll.."me first and screw you". That carries alot of implications and inferences that if one just looks around and watches all the Darwin Award nominees, you'll see all the corollaries of that in their tarnished splendour. |
