Barry is right. If you've been paying any attention in recent weeks you should
know by now that once you're on this list you're on for life. Just keep quiet
and learn to live with it.
I made the mistake of subscribing the whole family to com-priv some years ago
and none of us has ever been able to get off. We made a desperate attempt to
escape during the Shein-Schreibman flame war last year. But it was futile.
The stuff just keeps on coming. To make matters worse I have one of those old
terminals that prints everything on yellow paper because it has no CRT, so
we've got a lot of com-priv around here. My wife made Vigdor wallpaper for the
antique room and I have Stephen Wolff in the library. We're also stocked in
spades with rolls of Cook Report. My son plays com-priv on his Sound Blaster
day and night. He's really into the latest Karl Denninger... all American
stuff but he plays it over and over at high volume. Teenagers!
Living on the Information Highway certainly has influenced our lives. Recently
my wife overheard our daughter and her little friends talking about CIX, but so
far I'm not convinced there's anything wrong with it. We've learned to cope.
Last fall after discovering the computer room floors were sagging, we started
com-posting com-priv and putting it on the garden. If anyone knows where to
get AUP free seedlings for the tree of knowledge, please email me. Thanks.
