Salvete,
I disagree with these sentiments.
Since Nova Roma depends on the Internet to a degree that few other
organizations do, prompt message service is a nessicity. The current
service we are reciving from Yahoo is a joke.
I'm making this post direct on the Yahoo site because I'm reciving
allmost NONE of the posts made to this group. I just compared my in
box to this list and the last 20 posts are missing. For Thursday 67
posts show on this site. I recived 10 of them. The really bad part is
I recive these posts in a Yahoo mailbox! They can't even deliver the
mail to thier own yahoo.com boxes. (No I not over the 6 M limit)
If Yahoo can't provide a decent level of service then it's time to
look for alternatives.

While I sympathize with your plight, I have to point out that the problems
with Yahoo have been rare and impacted on a small number of list members.
Now, that is not to say that your problem is not vexing and one that I wish
you were not suffering through, but for you to put forward that yahoo's
entire service is a joke simply because a few people have suffered a rare
mail outage for a day or so is rather extreme.
I stand ready to assist you in any way that I can, but please realize that
for the vast majority of our 409 list members the service has been quite
satisfactory. As I stated elsewhere the other day, if outages and such
become more frequent I am quite open to alternatives. In the meantime,
Yahoo serves our needs quite well.

[novaroma] Taxes and Penalties |

Salvete Omnes,
A few thoughts on the proposed lex.
I consider this to be a voluntary tax. The Consuls or the Praetors
can't order a cohort to come out and seize my house or my car if I
fail to pay. I'm not going to be hauled off to Prison for refusing to
pay my taxes. There is NOTHING that Nova Roma can do to force me to
pay whatever sum the Senatus decides on.
The fact that refusing to pay this tax may have consequences that I do
not like does nothing to change the fact that this tax is voluntary.
All actions have consequences attached to them. If I decide to go get
drunk tonight, that is a voluntary decision. That I may dislike the
consequences (Hangover) does nothing to change the voluntary nature of
my decision to drink or not to drink tonight.
Now what are the consequences of failing to pay this voluntary tax, or
membership dues. If the Lex passes I can't hold office and my vote
doesn't count as much as the votes of those who pay thier fair share.
That's very mild. In most organizations the result would be I couldn't
hold office or vote, because you have to be a member to do either, and
I'd no longer be a member of the organization. We aren't striking any
names from the Album Civium, we aren't removing the right to vote. You
would still be a Nova Roman citizen who could vote. We are following
the example set by the Republic, and placing those who
don't pay taxes in the Capatie Censi where thier vote counts less than
that of those who do pay taxes. We may be exceeding the ancient
republic by stripping the Capatie Censi of the Jus Honorum, the right
to stand for office.
I'm not aware of any Leges that prohibited the Capatie Censi from
holding office. According to Suetonius, Divus Julius actually admitted
common soldiers into the Senatus, and these men were almost certainly
members of the Capatie Censi. However from a practical viewpoint,
since there was almost no chance of the head count attaining office,
they were effectively banned during the Republic. It was a de facto
rather than a de jure ban, but it existed until the Republic was dying.
The Lex Vedia de assidui et capiti censi is an excellent law. It
blends the traditions of the Romans with the realties of the modern
world. It's mild penalties towards those who fail to pay thier taxes
are an example that other organizations should follow, and I look
forward to voting in favor of this lex later this month, and urge my
fellow citizens to do likewise.
Valete,
L. Sicinius Drusus

Salve Priscilla Vedia Serena,
LOL
I don't know how many of our list members are having the same problems
I'm having, and I hope there are few. It's just VERY irrating when you
are on this end.
The boom days of the internet goldrush are over. Soon many free
services like this one will start to disapear or to lose the quality
they had in the past. Services like this are not money makers, they
are intended to draw people to Yahoo's site.
Yahoo may decide that they need to cut costs, like many dot coms are
doing. They may decide to cut back on maintance for this service,
resulting in problems like I'm having becoming more common. They may
decide to scale back this service, or even to discontinue it with
little or no notice.
On December 15, I recived a notice that a web based e-mail service
that I was using would be discontinued on December 31. That caused me
quite a hassle. A Free site that carried my personal web page vanished
with no warning about the same time. So you can see I have reasons to
be edgy about depending on free services.
I Don't think we should jump the gun and set up a new service next
week, however I do think it would be prudent to start exploring the
alternitives now, so that in the event we do have to move the lists,
we will have a plan in place.

Well, if I went to Ireland I wouldn't wear orange. And if I went to

Thank you very much for all your support. I really appreciate this.
Nonetheless, I think I'll save my levity for the Sodalitas Musarum's
contests. I guess I should try to give back to the Muses what they gave
me.
BTW, even if you don't believe it, I composed those three songs while I
posted them. If that weren't the Muses, I simply don't know what may
have it been.

Ave,
I also must voice my concern with Yahoo too. I apologize Priscilla, but
I respectfully disagree...this has been going on for almost a week for
me...if not more...and I really think we should at least think of some
alternatives in this. I know Yahoo has excellent features...but what
use are they if we dont get all of the messages..or even half of the
messages. Maybe we should create a Poll and get some feedback?

Sat, 5 May 2001 09:00:16 EDT |

Salvete!
Now that I'm back from Germany, there were two issues I wanted to comment
on.
Shortly after I left, there was some discussion on whether or not NR should
take a stand against slavery. This is a safe enough issue; I doubt we have
anyone who is in favor of slavery.
I'm opposed to this however. What other issues then would NR have to take
sides on? Should NR come out in favor of the Kyoto treaty? What about UN
intervention in various world trouble spots? Will NR have to take a stand on
abortion too?
I encourage NR members to get involved in any issues they are concerned
with---as individuals. But let's leave NR out of it.
Another issue is the Religio and tax money, which L. Sinicius Drusus
commented on on April 21 and which unfortunately got little response. I
think one of the downsides of polytheism is that the adherent is bound to
support several religious institutions instead of just one! But seriously, I
am opposed to any tax money being used for the maintainence and propogation
of the Religio. If the Religio is important to those who practice it,
certainly the practioners will take personal reponsibility for making funds
available. I do not believe in asking anyone to contribute to any religious
institutions other than their own.
If the religio needs money, there could be a separate fund onto which
practioners could make their own contributions.
Comments invited!

Salvete, Priscilla Vedia Serena et omnes.
Just thought I'd start a discussion, which surely has been brought up
before. I haven't read through all the archives yet, though, so I'll
speak up anyway.
Age restrictions. Currently, as far as I'm aware, any citizen, of any
age, may vote. However, most offices won't accept applicants below the
age of 21. How about making this the age when one gets to vote as well?
A "majority", of sorts. Until you're 21, you're considered a child/a
youth, you don't have to pay taxes, but neither do you get to be elected
into office. You may still serve as an appointed official, such as
scriba, but until you've "come into your own", you won't be trusted in
an office. Comments?

Salve,
I think its a statement about our culture and society in general that we
consider internet access as something we NEED. There are people in the world
right now who don't even have food, water, shelter, or basic human rights.
You NEED your email within a few seconds. I don't mean to disparage those to
whom this is a major or minor inconvenience; Yahoo is certainly doing a poor
job, and I'm not excusing that, but at least say its something you desire to
increase your level of happiness/productivity/whatever, not a nessecity.

I have been thinking about the story of the death of Decebalus, and I
remember reading about this cavalry soldier. I received the impression
that 'cavalry' was a kind of specialized position within the Legion,
one you could attain only after serving a cetain time as a common
legionnaire, and that comported a higher status and a higher salary.
Is that impression correct?

replace instead of fix [we got a great deal on a compaq presario
from the Navy exchange] so I won't have access to all of my
normal offbeat reference links until I can rummage around on the
web and re-find them all. ;-(
Needless to say, i also have to recreate my email address files
as well, which I am doing by incoming emails.
I really hate this! Gone are all my saved links, recipes and
funky references. Gone are my spiffy pictures and files. *sigh*

Salve: Ah yes.....! Life can be terrible when one's hard drive takes a
trip. I have gone through the same experience myself in the past, so I
understand what you are going through. Best of luck getting organized again.

No, this is not correct.
Under the republic (pre-Marian reform) the cavalary was reserved to the
citizens with a certain wealth, while the poorer were in the legions.
Later, the cavalry was mostly allied, mercenarry or locally recruted
like
here: In Pannonia and only an Ala not an integral part of the legion.

Salve,
I Have visited Asia and Africa, so I've seen poverity on a scale that
few in the west can dream of. Most of the horrid conditions are caused
by corrupt governments, and a culture that clings to outmoded ideas.
This may sound hard, but the truth often is, If these people aren't
willing to leave these areas, or rise up in bloody revolt against
those who are causing them to live at this level, they deserve the
lifestyle they have.
I was born into what passes for poverity in the USA. I still remember
the day they installed a wonderful device in our house. It was called
a hot water heater. It was pure magic! To be able to just turn on the
tap and have hot water in seconds rather than waiting for the water to
boil on the stove. Of course when my cousins came to vist they thought
we were really wealthy since we had this luxary in addition to piped
in water rather than a well and an indoor bathroom rather than the
outhouse they used.
My parents were teenagers when I was born. They WORKED thier way out
of poverity rather than whining about being poor and waiting for
someone to come along and give them a middle class lifestyle. I don't
waste my time worrying over those who aren't willing to do what my
parents proved can be done. My concern is with those who are trying to
better themselves.
I've seen what passes for poverity in the west first hand, and I'll
tell you flat out, The vast majority of the "poor" (execpting
children) bought that condition apon themselves by choices they made
in the past, and will continue to live in poverity because they will
continue to make poor choices.
If we restrict the use of the word need to the bare minimum for
survival, they all anyone NEEDS is a cave, a bearskin, and spear with
a flint point. I can't say I need a car to get to work, because I
could spend about 5 hours each day WALKING to work and another 5
walking home, or seek a lower paying job that would only require a
couple of hours of walking each day.
I will not restrict my use of the word "need" to meeting the
definitation a caveman would place on it. I NEED a car to get to work.
Nova Roma NEEDS fast and relible communications.
Vale,
Lucius Sicinius Drusus

Salve,
It is sometimes possible to recover some or all of the data that was
lost on a hard drive. What do you mean when you say "fragged"?
Normally this word is used for a drive that the data is fragmented and
the computer works very slowly because it has to spend a lot of time
gathering the data from all over the drive, but it still works. There
is software that can defrag a drive in this condition. If you are
using Windows it's part of the Operating System.
If you mean that your Computer wouldn't boot up, often this is due to
some files being corrupted, and the drive would still work if the OS
was reloaded on it.
If either of these cases applies to you, you can recover at least some
of your lost data by having someone temporally installing your old
hard drive into your new computer as a slave drive, and coppying the
data over to the hard drive on your new computer.
There are also ways to recover some or all of the data on drives that
are electronicly dead or physically damaged, but these are so
expensive that very few home users can justify the cost.
Feel free to contact me off list if you have any questions.
Vale,
L. Sicinius Drusus
