Thanks for making the effort to follow BFS through it's time of playing " musical servers ". It has been time consuming, but worth it! The Internet press feeds, public statements, historical research and intelligent opinions ( usually ) have combined to make BFS an unusual source for ammunition in exercising our Constitutionally protected right to free speech ( and thought ). I would like to thank Freeservers.com , Fiberia.com and TheGlobe.com for hosting BFS in 1998. Lastly, I would like to thank the search engines Alta Vista , Hotbot and Webcrawler for continuing to list BFS { the index page(s), at least }.

This forum has run the gambit of opinions from Kiss my Asteroid ( 7-4-98 ) to WNBA??? ( 7-12-98 ) . It has been naughty The Iraqi Wheel of Misfortune. ( 11-18-98 ) and nice All Hail The Blonde-haired, Red-lipped, Women of The Right! ( 7-17-98 ) . It has been both favorable Play it again, Sam. ( 8-23-98 ) and unfavorable Demon From Hell, or just a plain old fashioned Robber Baron? ( 12-8-98 ) to people of note. We have been objective Is it safe to speculate? ( 8-3-98 ) and subjective Laughable Leftie Ladies ( 8-6-98 ) . In a year that featured Mark McGwire hitting a record 70 homeruns in Major League Baseball, our own " Catcher in the Wry " may have shown some insight or intuition, with a portent of: To the Moon, Junior! ( 7-14-98 ) . " Bulldog " told us a good joke: Action in The Land of Oz? ( 10-13-98 ) . Finally, after just reading the opinion articles, " Anonymous " sent some humor our way: Ho Ho Ho ( 12-21-98 ) . Not to be out done, " The Watcher " offered up his ( I assume ) version of comedy with: Last Tango in Washington ( 12-30-98 ) .

In 1999, I hope to see more fuel for thought in Nuclear Reactions? and more regular readers, like in August 1998!

Once again, HAPPY NEW YEAR to ALL ( well, maybe not all )!
