of it. Thanks.
(My deleting is voluntary and is not related to the noteheader, in case there
is anyone out there more paranoid than myself :-).

| Too late, I already did! But, I still don't understand... is it a
museum or a church?
We have a place out here called the Rosicrutian (sp) Museum, has real
mummies, shrunken heads, etc... And well it is also a temple for those
who wish to practice Rosicrutian rites.

2296.8 | Motto: Have a witch'n good time | CARAFE::GOLDSTEIN | Global Village Idiot | Mon Dec 28 1992 17:46 | 16 |
| It's a museum.
Salem has a whole tourist industry devoted to the events of 1692. The
Witch Museum, the Witch House, etc. The police cars have a "witch on a
broom" town seal on them.
The city also is said to be home to 2000 members of the Church of
Wicca, a venerable order whose name was perverted by English oppressors
into the current "witch", and given unduly negative connotations. They
gathered there more recently than 1692. The events of 1692 were really
in Salem Village, which renamed itself Danvers; Salem (city) took the
opposite approach and cashed in.
BTW, I think you can delete a topic note (with no replies) by using
"delete" twice. That would have avoided this rathole. And I do wonder
what it orginally said.

2296.9 | A wild-[expletive deleted] guess | STAR::DZIEDZIC | | Tue Dec 29 1992 08:36 | 4 |
| I'll take a guess: was the original base note related to the
Livewire article about employees being terminated for using
the Digital Enet to transmit "pornography"? (No kidding; take
a look at Livewire.)
