Did I miss something?

Having just read fifteen pages of the most powerful and humbling prose I
have ever set eyes on, I must nevertheless say, mere words cannot
express.....

Did someone complain to your IT department?

Less than an hour after you suggested it. Any ideas?

Cool! If anyone deserves it, you do.

I have no idea who did it. What makes you think it was Stan or
Daytripper? If you find out who it was, I'll send them flowers.

I think you should have to pay for the vile pseudo-intellectual onanism
you love to indulge in on ROFF.

Ainna? I mean, courage is no less admirable for being anonymous......right?

Aw shucks, 't'weren't nuthin'.

I'm not at all certain that I do, actually. That was Tim's suggestion. A
bit of misdirection, I think.......his way of saying that he has no idea who
did it. It DOES sort of make one wonder why he feels compelled to distance
himself from what he considers to be a righteous action......but I really
don't think we want to open up that whole psychological can of worms, eh?
On the other hand, Tripper's well known Republican leanings are highly
suggestive. Hm.....

Well, delivery should be cheap, anyway. Can't beat that with a stick.

Given the nature of the medium, I assume even you understand that you are
using the term "onanism" metaphorically. Interesting choice. Do you know
what the word means?

Wolfgang
who, left with but two choices, supposes he would rather pitch than
catch......though it raises a bitch of a problem for someone who throws like
a girl.

Just so nobody takes *this* and runs wild, I think it really sucks that
someone would email a complaint to someone's employer, especially when the
"offence" is just because they don't like the person or what they write. I
can see contacting an ISP *if* the recipient feels threatened by the
"attacker", but other than that, it's Usenet, fer cryin' out load.

On the other hand, Tripper's well known Republican leanings are highly
suggestive.

Now, see? You've crossed that line. But at least now I've got a second in
the duel that will surely transpire.

Are you rereading "Jaws" then? That book makes me tear up, too.

Nah, nothing as quotidian as that. "Jonathan Livingston Seagull."

It was morning, and the new sun sparkled gold across the ripples of a
gentle sea. A mile from shore a fishing boat chummed the water. and the
word for Breakfast Flock flashed through the air, till a crowd of a
thousand seagulls came to dodge and fight for bits of food. It was another
busy day beginning....

Wolfgang
bach rocks.

The epigraph of my dissertation is from Moby Dick

"The weaver-god, he weaves; and by that weaving is he deafened, that he
hears no mortal voice; and by that humming, we, too, who look on the loom
are deafened; and only when we escape it shall we hear the thousand
voices that speak through it. For even so it is in all material
factories. The spoken words that are inaudible among the flying spindles;
those same words are plainly heard without the walls, bursting from the
opened casements. Thereby have villainies been detected. Ah, mortal!
then, be heedful; for so, in all this din of the great world's loom, thy
subtlest thinkings may be overheard afar."
