   Hello Aaron,   
      
   >BK>According to the NRDC, "...the project would require fewer than 2,000

   Aside from destroying the environment, there is also the meager pay.   
   Temporary work at meager pay is worse than no job at all. Especially   
   in today's covid world. Much better to get paid not to work. Just do   
   the math. $2000 a month not to work versus $200 a month to work your   
   buns off for not even half a year, with no benefits. Who would be   
   dumb enough to do that? Much smarter would be to pick up a brick and   
   throw it through the window of a police building. Especially during   
   the winter months when it is cold and damp, needing a warm place   
   to stay with free food on the side ...   
      
   >What are the benefits of cancelling it & how do they outweigh the benefits   
   > of constructing it?   
      
   We save the environment and build a green economy that provides   
   permanent jobs with better pay for everybody.

   No more "real names only" requirements would be cool!   
   No more other "security" information requirements needed, either.   
   A lot of information given can be misused, and exploited.   
   Not faulting sysops who run a BBS. Just a reality.   
      
   >"I've added some enhancements to Synchronet." Fact Check: This is

   I also like some of the unknown bugs found in Mystic.
