Just wanted to say thanks for the info on B92. I've listened to them a
lot here in the past. Having their freedom of speech taken away during a
raid is definetely not good and I think all of us on the re.lab.net
group need to say a "Prayer" for them and all who are affected by the
current situation there. As a webcaster,  all of us need to reach out
and offer support where we can.

Frankly, sitting here in the states watching this stuff on TV is mind
blowing. We just all need to get along. I can't imagine having a whole
bunch of tanks and soldiers marching down my streets here and killing
people at their whim...

Thanks to kunstradio for bringing to our  attention the ram file to
listen to. That may be the only file left depending on the outcome of
the current crisis. I will pass on that information to all whom I know.
Perhaps if others have files available  we should post them also.

In closing let me just quote this saying that says it all:

"The surest sign that intelligent life exists elsewhere in the universe
if that it has never tried
to contact us" Calvin & Hobbes(Bill Waterson)


Sincerely,
