Even though I dig this last sentence, this shit is best kept to private
email, since (as you may have noticed) only something like three people
are involved in the conversation anymore, and everyone else is bored.
You're *boring* us.
Wouldn't this conversation be more at home on objectivism@mit.edu or
something? Wait, I forgot -- you're only allowed to talk on that list if
you agree with the list owners, isn't that what Craighead said?
Anyway, stop cc'ing the list. Just because we have an email list doesn't
mean we're bound to use it every day.
