I see a lot of smoke and flame and silly mindreading
exercises. I'm not sure this list is contributing anything to making
progress on these issues, either for people making decisions or those
trying hard to understand why those decisions are being made. I'd
like to hear from anyone who thinks that this list is enlightening
overall. I'm thinking it isn't, although I'd like to hear more from
Dave Farber. He has a rational head on his shoulders, doesn't blow
smoke, and knows something about history by virtue of being there. I
wish more of those listening who have been there could speak up.

This list needs Ms. Manners, not Dr. Ruth. Let's give it a
rest for a while. It's tedious.
