		<description>Celestina ~ I agree with you that going off topic is not polite; I will try not to do it again - this is the  only way for me to get in touch with you.

     Please start an article on your website so that I can stay on topic.  Please start, &quot;Ex-viner&quot; article or &quot;Internet Convention&quot; article for me.  Give it any name you want so that I can stay on topic.

     I would like to write articles for your website, so please let me know how I can post articles to your site.  Please check out my website, &quot;raymont.vox.com&quot; to get an understanding of my writing.

     Please call me Raymonty or &quot;Old Dog&quot; because I am trying to become a better person and I want to forget about raymont.</description>

		<description>Hi, Raymonty.  Couple of things: 
First, it&#039;s bad internet etiquette to show up on a post which specifically addresses one topic, and then comment in a way which is completely off that topic.  It irritates people, and makes them feel like you aren&#039;t giving their ideas their due.

Second, I am sorry you got booted from Newsvine and can&#039;t tell folks there things yourself, but I am not going to be your mouthpiece.  If you really want to be part of that community again, I suggest you start your own website, read up on the social mores of the internet, and see if you can&#039;t get yourself in a position where you can demonstrate that you have changed your behaviour.

Third, the math question is there because I am a snob, and prefer to have only people capable of doing basic equations posting on my site.   

So, you are welcome to post here on my site, as long as you remain scrupulously polite and confine yourself to commenting on the topic at hand.  If you cannot do those two things, I will delete your comments without another thought.  Deal?

Happy Holidays, Raymont, and good luck to everyone in the new year!</description>

		<description>Celestina ~ Tell Jerry to stop crying or we are going to send him to his room.  Ask him if he will meet us in Gettysburg this spring on his way north to help us with our first convention.  Tell everyone that I said hello and I miss everyone.  Please start an article here on your website so that I can tell people more about me - &quot;Ex-viner&quot;.  Raymonty/Old dog.

P.S. I wish your math question was not so hard, one of my comments did not post because I got the wrong number.</description>

		<description>Celestina ~ A good place for our first &quot;Internet Convention&quot; is Gettysburg, the place where the south meets the north.  All roads lead to Gettysburg - Raymonty/Old Dog.

P.S.  Check it out and let me know.  Maybe you could start an article here on your website so we can work on the details, pass it on!</description>
