Rockwood: The Rockwood Mailbag.

The Rockwood Mailbag

Express yourself!

Have you always wanted to let Team Rockwood know just what you were thinking? Do you wonder why the panels of the strip are laid out horizontally instead of vertically? Or do you have sensitive documents that will bring down the government? In any case, we want to know! Just fill out your name and e-mail address, then let 'er rip! No question or comment is too bizarre for Team Rockwood to take a stab at, and if we can get enough mail coming in, this page will be updated weekly! (Unlike the old mailbag page, which got updated about four times in two years.)

So consider this an experiment in web interactivity. Or, consider it a way to artificially inflate our hit count. Either way, just write in!

		March 26, 2003 A little note on the Michael Moore Oscar appearance. Only a handful of the audience "booed him so fervently." If you listen closely there are also cheers and applause. If Michael Moore has taught us anything, those who disagree will be much louder than those who agree. Besides it was probably just Charlton Heston in the back. --Vilhelm Spakesheare
		Vilhelm, Michael Moore is delusional if he really thinks that there were only five people booing him in that auditorium. Yes, there were also cheers and applause, and we'll even be so generous as to say that we think he might have had half of the crowd giving him a standing O, but his assertion that somehow he represented most of America was refuted by actual Americans. None of this is really surprising if you've followed Moore's career. Remember, he's a radical filmmaker, not a historian, and his job is selling books and movies, not adhering to facts. And since boring stories don't sell as well as controversial ones, sometimes he fudges the truth a little bit to make things more interesting. If Michael Moore has taught us anything, it's that you shouldn't rely on entertainers for your factual information, since their job is entertaining, not informing. Oh, and he's also taught us that when he says he was humbled by "the entire main floor (rising) to its feet for a standing ovation" that the Norma Desmond model in Hollywood isn't dead.
		March 26, 2003 You don't like the Gators, do you? I like the Sooners! They have Stoops, after all... I think "Shock and Awe" sounds like a type of football offense. --The Raven's Mirror
		We don't have any feeling for the Gators pro or con, TRM. We just think it's ironic that every time you write us about them, they lose. Perhaps you're jinxing your team! However, in state-of-Florida-football related news, we think we know who might use the shock and awe offense in the fall. But it still won't do him any good if he can't find a kicker.
		March 28, 2003 ahhhhh yes...friday's strip...nice...so refreshing! its like bill o'reilly in convenient 10 second form! speaking of fox news, what do u think of that blonde anchor with the really big eyes? (dont know her name) isnt she GREAT!?!?!?! only about a billion times better than greta van sustren (HOW much did they pay to get her from CNN? waayyyy too much if u ask me) --Christian
		We don't know her name either, Christian, since we don't watch enough Fox News to really know all of the anchors. Besides, we sort of have a preference for late night Headline News. Mmm...who cares about Greta?
		March 31, 2003 opinion. There... that's mine! --James
		Brief and to the point, James. Apparently, you're not aiming for a career in politics!
		March 31, 2003 Have you tried Netscape 6 yet? It's amazing! (not to mention the fact that this computer has a huuuge flat screen and a fast connection. The bad part is I don't own it.) --Elizabeth
		Ummm...maybe you mean Netscape 7, Elizabeth? But no, we don't use that either. Well, not completely, anyway. Currently, Team Rockwood uses different browsers depending on what we're doing. We use Mozilla (the core of the new version of Netscape) because we lovvvvvvvve tabbed browsing. We also use OmniWeb because it's just so pretty we that we can't help but drool when we look at it. We also think Safari shows a lot of promise, but since it's still in the beta stage, it still has some bugs to work out (for instance, it won't render out Haiku Thursday correctly). Oh, and if nothing else will work, we'll fall back on IE, but until Microsoft wises up and puts in a pop-up blocker, we'll never switch over to the dark side completely.
