nexus lexus : I guess then you've TRIPLED your knowledge of cricket versus football. Sorry I'm not as well-versed in the sport of the trailer-park denizen, so I cannot return the favor.Cricket team formed by the Bangalore (India) Tennis and Croquet Club (Est.1873) in 1887.The peculiar origin of the teams nickname coincided with Buffalo Bill’s“Wild West Show” in the same year as formation of cricket team, 1887. Thatyear, the Wild West Show was invited to England to be the main Americancontribution to Queen Victoria’s Golden Jubilee celebration. "Buffalo Bill’sWild West" was the hit of the celebration, visited by nobility, commoners,and by Queen Victoria herself. The show was credited with improving Britishand American relations. "Buffalo Bill’s Wild West" rose to internationalfame and returned two years later to tour the European Continent."Buffalo Bill’s Wild West" used real cow-boys and cow-girls, recruited fromranches in the West. At first, few people shared Cody's admiration of thecow-boys. Most people regarded them as coarse cattle drivers and used theterm "cow-boy" as an insult. By the end of the 19th century, the cow-boybecame the much more popular "cowboy," thanks in large part to the BuffaloBill Wild West shows. The shows demonstrated bronco riding, roping, andother skills that would later become part of public rodeos.
nexus lexus : Mr. Sam can't produce any evidence, because he's not a Lexus/Nexus subscriber.How elitist can _you_ be? Probably just as elitist as the average Beltwayliberal. Get a load this, folks.

Many people, of allpolitical persuasions, would like to know.I'm aware of at least three more: 1. NY Times offers a search service on theWeb. 2. There's also an outfit called "The Electric Library". You can findit right off Netscape's home page. I wonder how you missed it. It used to befree, but has now become subscription-based. I tried it when it was free, wasvery impressed with its coverage. 3. Bloomberg. My current clientsubscribes to Bloomberg. It's coverage is supposedly also very comprehensive.
nexus lexus : These are three respectable information services. Again, I am not going toassign brownie points to each one and proclaim a winner. If you thinkLexis/Nexis is the best service, good for you. I'm sure you can find manypeople who will disagree. Thanks for proving my previous point.--Mr. Sam: member, talk.politics.misc troll patrol channel operator, #Sci-Fi - Undernet IRC sci-fi/fantasy channel ________________________________________ _____________________________________&qu ot;Government is not a solution to our | "First of all, keep in mind that mostproblem, government IS the problem." | of our problem is with working -- R.

Is that what you're trying to say?No, I was just responding to the suggestion that it is the only source -- forthat kind of information -- that exists this planet.--Mr. Sam: member, talk.politics.misc troll patrol channel operator, #Sci-Fi - Undernet IRC sci-fi/fantasy channel ________________________________________ _____________________________________&qu ot;Government is not a solution to our | "First of all, keep in mind that mostproblem, government IS the problem." | of our problem is with working -- R.

nexus lexus : ------"As we move towards Endgame, consider this. We live in a country that has never madea movie about Leonardo da Vinci,and has produced three about Joey Buttafuoco." - Pete HamillOnce again, do you need a "source" before you believe that the sky is blue? Ican do better than that, I can refer you to the show in question. I reallydon't know where the idea got started that a second-hand source is moreaccurate than first-hand evidence. Why don't you watch the show yourself,silly, and judge for yourself. That's my source. Imagine that! When I wantto claim that something happened on a show, I refer to the show itself! Whatan absurd idea! I'm supposed to know that what a left-wing media organizationtells me about the show is more accurate than watching the show itself, right?--Mr. Sam: member, talk.politics.misc troll patrol channel operator, #Sci-Fi - Undernet IRC sci-fi/fantasy channel ________________________________________ _____________________________________&qu ot;Government is not a solution to our | "First of all, keep in mind that mostproblem, government IS the problem." | of our problem is with working -- R.

nexus lexus : My question wasn't sarcastic, so I wasn't proving any point of yours.Regarding "proving (your) previous point", note that the original requestby Mr. Damion Schubert was for you to post an article in support of astatement. A subsequent post by you seemed to say that you could notprovide the supporting article because you did not have access toNexus/Lexus. Please feel free to use one of the fine services thatyou mentioned above to locate the article, as Mr. Schubert requested.If you can't, it either means that (a) you need the extensive servicesof Nexus/Lexus, or (b) no such article exists. No one will judge youby your choice of service. Find the article, or admit thatno such article exists. Don't de-rail the argument by dwelling onthe point that you don't have Nexus/Lexus. The NY Public Library probablycan help you find what you need, if it exists. There's even a branchwithin walking distance from you.Regarding your list of services: NY Times Online is quite limited inwhat you can search. The Electronic Library is trying, but it'sno Nexus/Lexus. Bloomberg is a good service oriented mostly towardbusiness, but it's also no Nexus/Lexus (yet), and it's quite pricey.Maybe you can steal (more) time on that one :) .
