I most definitely am. I had the chance to talk to Marc at BabelCon in
April, and he told me that some of us will wish to kill him when we've
read this book. (This was before you rejoined us, so check in the
archives for my message on the subject.)

Marc's words: "Think of it as the Klingon they didn't teach you in
school."
Be afraid. Be *very* afraid.

I won't be driven away. There's always the "next" key.... and this list
is relatively low volume. (Fidonet's TREK conference used to generate
300 messages a day in it's heyday - THAT was a bear. I don't do
newsgroups so I have no idea about the volume's they're carrying.)

There's supposed to be a joke or other reference to Lawrence Welk
somewhere in the book.
