Salvete, cives Romani!
Something else which I think we should bear in mind, if
considering swapping to a chat-room with 'booting' facilities, is just
who exactly has the power to boot. After all, whilst being able to
boot disruptive barbarians seems like a good thing, we don't want them
chucking us out of our own chat-room either.
Valete,
Aprica.

Salve Honored Romani!!
Your comment about "booting" is an interesting one because I don't have
a computer. I use Webtv which is like using a keyboard only with the
computer element being in the Webtv co. itself.
I remember that when using an IBM many years ago, there was an
instruction about the "rebooting" capability of the computer which I
took to mean the reestablishment of the topic you were dealing with on
the screen. Since my experience from the miserable 3 months with an IBM
was years ago, and my MacIntosh has been my right hand ever since, I
wonder if the "booting" that you refer to is similar to my "adventure"
or a special feature of chat rooms that we are looking at for a possible
change.

Nope, different term. This means "giving somebody the boot" off a live chat if
they're being disruptive, rather than a person rebooting a computer.

The Talk City chat rooms have an "ignore" feature, rather than a "boot"
feature. This would mean that Citizens can simply choose not to listen to
anyone trying to disrupt the board. We're still trying to make certain that
Talk City is usable, and it'll be another couple of days before anything is
decided.
If we DID have a boot feature, there would be perhaps three people with the
ability to remove people from a live chat. I'd be one of them. The idea would
be to try and provide as much coverage as possible - even though there would
be no way to have the chat moderated at all hours.
As with everything else we'd keep moderation rules rational. Nobody would be
bounced unless they were being VERY disruptive. We've had a few instances of
this, where people were taunting Citizens and swearing continuously. Other
than that, Citizens will hopefully be able to solve any other interpersonal
differences!

Salve Most Honored Roman!
My thanks for your kind response. I understand now. By all means, that
should be a concern. Apparently we are having difficulty in aquiring
numbers of people to join Nova Roma. We certainly do not wish to "kick
anyone off the chat room" unless they are undesirables.
On a totally unrelated topic, I asked about the registration of my name
as a gens of the Nova Roma, and was told that perhaps you should rule on
it. I applied to a gens for adoption prior to applying to Nova Roma for
membership, but the lady who replied "Claudia Chadwick"
(raptorco@--------) indicated that she was a lone wo--------and
estranged from her family and living with an adoptive family. I then
applied under my name and was accepted. Now, how do I go about
registering my name as a gens in Nova Roma. The name was taken from a
grave marker in England and was a miles immunes in a Legio Roma.

Talk City is fine if it has improved, fixing those previous
problems. They also are wonderful for just kicking out the disruptive
but there was never any ignore function.

Again, we're still evaluating Talk City. It's looking like no matter WHO we go
with, there will be some negative features. However, Talk City DOES have an
ignore function with some of their programs... even though it isn't a part of
every type of package they offer.

sigh...so many questions.....
Is Religio Romana a federally recognized religion? If not, are we
interested in becoming one (the Roman Pagans among us anyway)? Would
that perhaps help the 'legitimacy' of Nova Roma?
I am a blank slate, fill me with knowledge.

A few weeks ago, Cassius saw this A&E special, "Ancient Inventions," which
revealed that the Romans invented the hamburger. I am by no means an
accomplished cook, but this sounded like something I could manage.
According to the show, they mixed ground beef and pine nuts, sprinkled a
little salt on the patties and served the result between two slices of
bread. Since I try to avoid unnecessary salt I substituted a historically
justifiable oregano-basil mixture.
Those of you who are carnivores should give this a try - it was delicious.

Salvete --
I need to ask for prayers, meditations, whatever for me. I will be
having my 3rd ultrasound Thursday to see if the placenta has moved from
the cervix. They haven't come right out and diagnosed me with Placenta
Previa, but I am afraid they will try it. That would mean bed rest until
Lapis is born (I am 5 months -- 20 weeks -- now) and a repeat cesarian.
The cesarian I can live with. Bed rest???? I am a single mother of an
18 month old with no friends in the area to help me if they send me to
bed. Needless to say, Terry is too young to cook or clean. So,
basically I am trying to avoid bed rest (I haven't shared with the
doctors about lugging groceries home in my little red wagon by myself yet
-- I don't have that sort of courage).

Basically, the United States does not "recognize" religions. That old Bill
of Rights thing.
"Amendment I
"Congress shall make not law respecting an establishment of religion, or
prohibiting the free exercise thereof; ..."
I ask our non-United Statesians to bear with all this.
I did some web research on this idea some months ago. The most I got was
through the Wicca sources. Wicca has achieved "recognition" to render
chaplain services to service personnel and prison inmates. One step in this
process was those services being requested.
Another process in this being recognized, while not being "recognized", is
tax free status. If the IRS allows tax free status you have some recognition
from an agency of the Federal gov't. But Greenpeace also has that status.
The US Army on Wicca:
<a href="http://members.aol.com/janus59/milwic.htm" target="_top" >http://members.aol.com/janus59/milwic.htm</a>
This page has some stuff about the "Legal Basis of Wicca"
<a href="http://www.pagans.org/shadwstorm/" target="_top" >http://www.pagans.org/shadwstorm/</a>
This one is about "Online Ordinations" (a brain tickler)
<a href="http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Hills/1647/faq.html" target="_top" >http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Hills/1647/faq.html</a>
This page has material on Native American rights. I put it in as *someting*
other than
Wicca. But face it, Quirites the Witches have gone down this trail and the
Blaze marks are theirs.
<a href="http://www.termpapers-on-file.com/native.htm" target="_top" >http://www.termpapers-on-file.com/native.htm</a>
These are from a search I did using words/phrases such as: religion,
recognition, legal religion, etc. I got a lot of interesting links, but no
answers. Maybe somebody with current Wicca connections can ask around. Mine
are quite old (like over 20 years). I was in on the founding of the
Covenant of the Goddess. What I remember of that is a lot of meetings and
sessions hashing out the "interface" between Witch tradition (as our many
disparate groups practiced it) and what the people dealing with the legal
aspects were finding out about the legal hoops that had to be leaped
through. And as I remember, many of those had to do with that tax exempt
status. But COG has changed a lot in 20 plus years. And Damned if I'm going
to go through them. (Personal reasons, but no less valid.)
I don't know if any of this will help at all. I can only hope it does. I do
not know how I might be able to help, but anybody who wants to take this on
may feel free to contact me and I'll see what I can do. I thought that the
"recognition" of the Relgio would be a good step for us. I thought that
California would be the place to find out. The trail kept petering out.
Do let me (all of us) know what you find out.
