[BLU/Officers] Fwd: [Discuss] Hoping BLU will help me

[Bill Horne]

TWIMC,

I called the managed-care facility where Mr. Howe resides, and I was 
referred to his daughter by the staff there.

I just got off the phone with her, and she told me that her father has 
dementia, and that there is nothing we can do to help him. She said that 
he has probably worn out his welcome at the Northern Virginia LUG, and 
that he was warned to limit the scope and number of his posts there, 
several times.

I informed her that there are special-purpose services available which 
can screen her father's emails before they are sent, and asked that she 
contact her dad's gerontologist for details.

As to the BLU, when she asked what we would do, I told her that I would 
recommend that her father's email be removed from our mailing list.

BLU list,

I'm a first-time poster. I live in the NOVALUG area, but, so far, they
haven't been able to get close to my problem, I should say that I am not a
programmer. I am a user. I am trying to get something done that I regard
as being of immense importance. If you want to hear about it contact me
off-list.

I want for my system to be back to what it was when disaster hit on 24 Jan
2014, Ubuntu 12-04 LTS. I am an od guy, bday April 27, 1926. I am a long
retired theoretical physicist. Not a good one, but it enables me to
realize what can be done, what can't be done and, all too frequently, to
realize that someone is on the wrong track.

I live, with my wife, in an assisted living facility, Emeritus Manassas,
zip code 20109. Can I expect any comments, thoughts, etc, when I get back
from Lunch. First contact by email first. I am very much
mobility-impaired.

Fwiw, I have ties in the Boston area. My brother about twenty months older
than me, died several years ago. Two nephews also live there. one, Peter
Howe, does a broadcast ever weekday night on the NEBN. I never wanted to
live there. Too cold.

My full name is Charles M Howe. Call me

Charlie
