OT - Net Neutrality

[49er]

You may or may not know but net neutrality in the US is in grave danger and could be gone by 12/14.

""The FCC just announced its plan to slash net neutrality rules, allowing ISPs like Verizon to block apps, slow websites, and charge fees to control what you see and do online. They vote December 14th. But if Congress gets enough calls, *they* can stop the FCC.""

No matter what your political affiliation is, I urge all US citizens on this forum to call members of Congress telling them that you want net neutrality preserved. Otherwise, access to sites like this could be in jeopardy because we buck the medical establishment by taking charge of our therapy.

And by the way, I do not intend for this thread to dissolve into an argument as to which politician is eviler and who is to blame for this. The issue is no matter what your political views are, internet access is being threatened.

Are you alright, 49er? You posted this same topic earlier today.

If you read the second post in this thread .... it should be obvious that Johnny revived this one to make a point.

My question wasn't about the post being revived. The question was why 49er made identical posts about five hours apart. I know she has had an illness and seems to live alone. I only asked out of concern for 49er.

49er, I hope you post today to let us know you are OK.

Happy Thanksgiving all!

49er is fine. She made the first post early yesterday morning...someone spam removed it.
Once it was realized that it had been removed she posted it again.
Then later yesterday afternoon Carolyn and Johnny decided to put back the post that was spam removed. I think because they wanted to make a point about OT posts being welcome here and not needing anyone's approval.... because they knew she had already posted it a second time.
It was put back on purpose by Carolyn and Johnny and that's why you see his comment.

So 49er had nothing to do with the second post except she was the original author but that post got spam removed and it shouldn't have been removed. It was forum admins decision to end up with duplicate posts.

Thank Pugsy and thank CK for your concern.

I am definitely fine and ready for Thanksgiving. I hope everyone has a happy one.

That wasn't nice!

Glad everyone else is OK!
