From: BillShroyer@Pittsburgh.com   
      
   I'm seeking to stir things up a little.  I'm just starting, of course,   
   so there aren't tons of things out there just yet, but I feel I have   
   something to say that needs to be heard.  It's not a Christian   
   message, I am not a Christian - but at its heart, it's also not an   
   anti-Christian message.  Some will certainly see it that way, but it's   
   not "about" Christianity to me, it's about religion in general and the   
   human spirit.  We have been at the crossroads for the past   
   many-thousands of years, and today I think we can finally pick   
   ourselves up and set off down one path or another.  The choice is   
   ours, and we may eventually split up and go two separate paths - two   
   or more separate species coming from what is today "modern man".  Who   
   knows?  But we can communicate more efficiently than ever before, and   
   I'm seeking to communicate about things which the modern world really   
   should be talking about, subjects they try to shuffle under the carpet   
   as if ignoring them will solve all problems.   
      
   So please check it out, if that sort of thing interests you.  And even   
   if you don't agree with what you hear, if you like that style of   
   communication, I would ask you to please help spread the word and   
   become involved - pick yourself up a web-cam and begin the debate.   
   It's amazing what a difference seeing and listening to someone can   
   make, though for some, text-based forums like Usenet are most vital.   
   For that reason, I will endeavor to respond to anyone who posts   
   replies to my videos on Usenet.  Just leave a notation in the comments   
   section of YouTube telling me where you've posted it (a message ID   
   would be ideal) and I'll gladly read what you have to say and respond   
   to it (by video by default, but in Usenet itself if you state that as   
   your preference).   
      
   If you think you're interested in joining in, here is where I'm   
   located on YouTube:

   I will also be seeking ways to open up videos on YouTube - mine, at   
   least, but all videos if possible - to those who are blind, deaf or   
   both.  I can sign my videos, but I don't presently have the right   
   equipment for that.  When I get it, I will start doing so.  I'd love   
   suggestions on how to open up these communications to various portions   
   of the disabled or "differently-abled" community, let me know what you   
   think.   
      
   Sincerely,   
   Bill Shroyer
