Dr Know,
You are one smart cookie, I hope you realize that! I respect and admire your resourcefulness in LEGALLY linking to and electronically reprinting copyrighted material from wire services, with frequency and finesse in formatting. I noted that blue k (could it be the k of knol?), then over to Google hosting, then to Associated Press!!! I'm still not certain how you did that but it is VERY clever. I've never seen anyone do anything like that- including the linked content embedding, ever so meticulous and elegant.Legal electronic reprints, in compliance with copyright, is incredibly difficult to do. It is a major obstacle for me, as I can't pay for reprint rights. I like to quote original sources. You do an excellent job of that! Plus you have a nice sense of style and usage, with humility thrown in. But you're an engineer, a very sharp one, so I shouldn't be surprised.
;@)
Whats more important is that History don't repeat itself. Have we learn anything form our past history?
Dr Know,Your seed,"Barack Obama already less popular than Nixon or Carter? " is great !!!! Most Democratic supporters are calling it a lie because it may have put the uneasy feeling in their minds that Obama talks a big game but can't produce the results to satisfy the country! I have really enjoyed expressing my opinion on this thread!!! Regards, KINGZOW77
You have my respect in opposition and my heart in friendship. You are a true friend.

Hello Dr Know, just stopping by to say THANK YOU for the very informative and useful comments you have been giving to my column. Though I have not been on yours as often, that is no indication of my admiration, respect and appreciation of you. It's simply too many friends and too little time. sadly.
However, I wanted to wish you a fantastic 2008 and long may you continue to help make the Vine rich in learning, entertaining and truly enjoyable.
I feel honoured to have your friendship!
