Well thanks for the feedback! Luckily (ahem) I don't mind ranting
into the wind (no comments please) but it's nice to know they're
not entirely unwanted.

Likewise! Machine bring-ups, horror stories, problems fixed,
mysteries presented (not necessarily resolved...) are the real
reason I like this list, in addition to deep discussion of
nettiquette.

I don't always read the fine details of DEC card revisions,
options and jumpering, not having a DEC machine, nor likely to
(though I said that about D.G.).

Maybe the public nose-picking (eg. nettiquette) is simply due to
the lack of actual content to write about? The chickens, bored,
start pulling each others feathers out and starting fights?
