HELP WANTED:  HISTORIAN
Apply to Adam Community.

With all the Adam Wars that go on endlessly, continuously, inevitably
(?), etc. I get confused.

Unless you follow and read ALL the newsletters and logon ALL the BBSs,
you may miss a few here or there.  Or maybe not find out about them until
they are half-way finished etc.

Also there are so many that it does tend to get confusing.  Now was the
Hardware Wars, the lst, 4th or (hopefully) last of the Adam Wars ???

I don't know and feel there are many other Adamites also confused by this
issue.  Well I have some suggestions to help remedy this confusion.

They are listed in order in which I would like to see them solved.

l. Stop the Adam Wars.   (I know it will give a lot of people a lot of
free time to work on improving Adam but sometimes you just must
sacrifice.  ).

2. Hire a Historian.  We need someone professional, who is used to
keeping track of this kind of stuff. That way we can always refer to the
historian's papers and know who is fight whom, when, where and why
(except the why is never really clear).

3. Develope a standard nomenclature for these Wars.   Some thing like the
World Wars.  We could have Adam Wars III, or Adam Software Wars II,
something like that.  It would be easy then to tell if you were getting
infor on the current Adam war, just look at the number.

   I know some romantics would like us to stick with names like the
French & Indian War, etc.  Names which give more of the flavor of the
war.  I am not really against this as Adam Hardware War VI may not really
bring to mind exactly who fought it, etc.  But some standard system of
naming these wars is required.

4. A peace keeping force.  We could get armed Adamites from several AUGS
who would go into trouble spots and keep the combatants apart, killing
them if necessary to preserve the peace.
   It remains me of an old favor of  mine.   Bring peace to the Adam
World,  Kill a Pirate a day For Adam.  Only you can prevent Piracy.

5. So as to have a minimum disruption of the Adam world, let each side
choose its own warrior to represent it.  Then these two (or three if its
a 3 sided war) would meet armed in a locked room and battle until only l
lived.   This would settle the Adam War with a minimum of blood shed.

I know you may have other thoughts on this matter but I feel we should
end these wars once and forever and have given my possible solutions
above.

Thinking it over I am not sure these are Really in the order I would like
them.  It seems like # 5 should be much higher up on the list.  What do
you think ?????????????????????

REMEMBER........ADAM WARS ARE ADAM'S WAY OF SAYING GOODBYE......
