Dear Word-listers --

I really don't know if it's a good idea - to start a war, I mean.
But first things first - I joined this list precisely *because* of
that statement by Tim on Literary-L and I was curious - I did not
know about this list before. So that is one point: he had actually
*spread the word* about you guys, and this looks like a fun list;
most lists - and I am on many - seem to be in the summer doldrums just now...

Another point is that there may be some general review afoot about the
nets - not long ago (June I think) there was a flareup on Canada-L when someone
posted - as an example - the sort of chatter there exists on some
other non-academic nets and we had a hitherto silent partner speak up
and give us hell for messing things up for everyone. It seems that
this VERY SENIOR professor, somewhere in a very senior position ina
very senior US university (you get the picture), was on a very
senior taskforce which was  charged with writing a report on the
free use of the nets. Apprently, so he informed us, there are enough
university administrators who would love to slap user fees on these
lists in the belief that they are frivolous and non-academic anyway.
He, the senior professor, said he was trying to dispute this and had
asked some administrative bigwigs  to listen in on Canada-L as
a "shining example" of what a list could be...of course, none of
us knew any of this, someone told him off in no uncertain
terms for his brittle, arrogant tone - though in a very witty
manner - there was a big flameup, senior prof and administrative
bigwig departed in a huff and went off, presumably, to write nasty
things about the frivilous use of the nets and that they should
be tolled...Canada-l has been quiet ever since...(though it is summer)

I would think the report is being prepared out there somewhere, and
a listwar of the sort you propose would just support the administrative
types who see these nets as an untapped potential source of $$$$$$.
You guys can do what you like, but you might just end up contributing to the
demise of the free lists - and mess it up for other people, too.

Just a thought.

I agree - but I don't understand.  I don't in any way mean to diminish
the undoubted horror that rape must be, but I (and I expect most men)
have trouble seeing that it can be worse than being (badly) beaten.

Even a "minor" beating can leave brain damage, loss of sight/hearing/
smell/touch, continual or continous pain, etc. etc.  The scars from
a rape are likely to be psychological, and these can at least be
worked on, if not completely healed.  Obviously a rape can be combined
with a beating, but given the grim choice I know which one I'd take :-(

    Bill Clinton has been compared to Thomas Jefferson, but...I knew
    Thomas Jefferson, he was a friend of mine, and, Governor, you're
    no Thomas Jefferson.

I actually saw some REAGAN IN '96 signs in the audience.  What a

Speaking of which, if communism is dead (and Bush/Reagan killed it),

Thanks Dan, I *thought* my question was being made fun of, but did not
want to sound even more paranoid than I am by suggesting such.  Always
remember that you need to understand *from whence* the writer or speaker
(or asker of the question) is coming before you tag something as being
artificial. Granted, you don't know me, therefore you have no idea from
whence I come or even where I'm going. In this instance question (1) was
legitimate and question (2) occurred to me as I asked question (1) because
of the geographical diversity of this list - therefore the diversity of
the idioms. The statement within question (1) was also legitimate.

*Why* was the statement within the question legitimate?  Because at my school
teachers are required to stand at our doors between classes and greet
students as they enter* and one of the standard greetings is "Good
morning," another is "Good afternoon." Since we have several lunch
periods, some students and teachers are in class while others are at lunch
as early as 10:37, some as late as 12:21.  Now, I may be greeting students
who have already had lunch while my stomach is growling in antcipation of
12:21, so if I greet them with "Good morning" (because *I* haven't had
lunch yet so it *is* morning to me) they correct me right off the bat and
then call me batty the rest of the year - "Hey, never mind what she says,
she doesn't even know the difference between morning and afternoon."
That is *my* reason for the arbitrary cut-off time of 12:00. :-)

Dan, tell me Hi if you read this far.... Have a good year.

I only changed ONE character of your text, and deleted none.  At the

All I cleaned up was removing message headers, etc.  I even left in the

What say you?  Net access from *our* school?  And I'm stuck in a regular

course that combines a survey of British Lit, composition, Advanced
Placement Test preparation, and everything else under the sun that falls

This modem has a speaker so I can hear the entire connection, including

Hmmm...it doesn't surprise me that my connection is slow, because it

wired connection is slow by itself.

It doesn't even begin to dial--that's what I can't figure out.
It began to dial a couple of times last night, but never connected.

Good--because I don't know. The files don't say plus anywhere...this

     Breakthrough!  That painful creaking sound you just heard was
     Mka's consciousness being raised.

     I've never understood the terrific amount of resistance people
     have to acknowledging the sexism that's embedded in our language.
     I've heard lots of people say, "Well, everyone understands that
     'men' means women too."  And yet if you ask 100 people to draw a
     picture of Neanderthal man, what do you get?  Ninety-nine
     pictures of flat hairy pecs and a Tarzan loincloth.

     A popular excuse is the fact that the alternatives to sexist
     forms sound artificial.  (If I read *one more* columnist teeing
     off on "personhole," I may be driven to use vulgar language.)
     While I have agree that "s/he," "hir," etc. look clunky, I for
     one am willing to suffer through a period of aesthetic discomfort
     in the name of accuracy and justice.  Look at "Ms."  People
     screamed like eagles about it 20 years ago (my 1975 _Harper
     Dictionary of Contemporary Usage_ has four pages of fulmination
     against it), but now no one turns a hair.

     Actually I'm coming around to using "they/their" as the
     indeterminate pronoun. It's inaccurate, but so is "he/his" -- and
     everyone already does it anyway.

Jenna's right. It's tacky, very tacky, to repost private e-mail
without the author's permission (or knowledge). It marks the poster
who arrogantly ignores the norm as an untrustworthy novice.  You might
also want to check your law school's agreement with Lexis. If they
have the standard contract with Lexis that most schools do, publicly
announcing that you'll use it for non law-school related purposes is
less than wise. It's not just tacky, but it could also be illegal. At
our school, such a post would get you a big-time reprimand, and if you
were caught doing it, you'd be dismissed.
You're re-affirming the view that "legal ethics" is an oxymoron.
