(BTW, and unrelated to this exchange really, but concerning metaphors
that concern us all, a comment on the frequent `looking out through a
window' metaphor for email: I find it helpful, and more appropriate, to
use a `looking around in a room' metaphor: `Are you in here with us?'
instead of `Are you out there?' Antidote for alienation and the illusion
of anonymity, fosters tact and forbearance, replaces possible ego trips
about addressing the wide world with a more realistic understanding of
addressing a fairly parochial select group, however geographically
dispersed. Generally good medicine.)

A tale overheard (pre Gorb.):
A soviet offical was giving a lecture in the CCCP decrying the excesses
of the Stalinist purges.
Someone in the audience interupted with the querulous question
"You were one of his associates...WHY did you not DO something?"
A shocked silence locked the tense hall.
The visibly angered soviet official, his eyes raking the frozen listeners,
demanded
"WHO SAID THAT?".
There was only the hushed sound of shallow breathing as row upon row of
people sat like chilled statues.
"Precisely." he said quietly.
