From Our Founder
by Robert J. Wichlinski As many of you have probably heard or read, I elected not to run for re-election as the incumbent Porter Township Trustee. The reasons are many, but the bottom line is that our work was done and it was time to step out of the way to let new leaders emerge and thrive. In the end, I believe that the best judge of government’s effectiveness is its ability to provide for its posterity. Enough said. We also lost Mrs. Muha and Mrs. Stan since last I wrote. They were two of the finest women in da region and I will miss them both! You may also have noticed (and I hope that you did) that while I was preoccupied, our management enacted a really cool program to let our devotees establish an e-mail account thru 219.com (see the advertisement in the upper right of our home page). For what amounts to pocket change, you can have a unique, boutique e-mail address that is super easy to remember and ties in with your telephone area code- HOW COOL IS THAT? For example, you can be dude@219.com or SOS@219.com or jeweler@219.com or Boiler@219.com or Hoosier@219.com or sue@219.com or nascar@219.com … whatever your heart desires. And there’s a web interface so you can retrieve your mail anywhere you can get to a web browser (no mail client required). And here’s a feature that’s even cooler, we can forward the mail that comes to your 219.com mail account to an existing e-mail account that you may have- so you don’t have to change ANYTHING you are doing right now to retrieve mail from your new account on 219.com. You simply establish your e-mail account on 219.com and tell ‘em that you want your mail forwarded to your “whatever” mail account ( at NetNITCO, Comcast, AT&T/SBC/Ameritech, whatever). People that know me well, know that I simply cannot tolerate long e-mail addresses- especially the education and government ones. They are too long to remember, filled with letters and dots and dashes and under_bars that idiots like me transpose or miss. So then I get confused and keep getting the mail back as undeliverable and then I have to REcontact the intended recipient to get the right e-mail address or make certain that I am typing it right. And then, WHAT’S THE POINT? E-mail is no longer a convenience, it’s a nuscience. Your e-mail address may be obvious to YOU, but it makes no sense to me; the audience it was supposed to help you communicate with. SOOOOO… here is your chance to fix the problem, have a little fun, or promote your cause. I have on personal experience that people can remember an address on 219.com without even having to write it down. I hope that you will realize the value and take advantage of the service. The names are first-come, first served- so get’em while they’re hot (and yours is still available). And no… we are not expecting an addition to the Wichlinski Family (bad choice of words, I guess)… and while we’re on the subject, Birthday Greetings to my wife Lynnette. As always, I can be reached via e-mail at b@219.com |
