*Sigh*.  I suppose, after all, FNORD-L isn't rilly the proper place
to initiate a discussion, is it?  Salamander, would you be so kind
as to post yet once again the address for the extropians discussion
group -- yes, I could look it up, but imagine you have the information
readily available and also imagine others might wish to show up too.
This way, I can go peddle my wares over there and argue the "meme"
(which won, I believe, an award as the Ugliest Newfangled Term of
1989, 1990, and 1991) of the locus nexus, economic and cultural centers
where something seems to shift and something seems to happen, and
I might even get an articulate response.

Incidentally, I later thought of Austin, Texas, as another rapidly
growing center (which seems to be spreading out often -- I meet too
many people from that li'l burg) of information processing activity.
Not to mention, of course, being the original home of Roxy Erickson.

As for your claim that anyone east of Nevada seems hopelessly
neanderthal if not planning on moving to the bay area, it seems that
far too many who are hopelessly neanderthal are tagging along for
the trip, or do you really believe that the population of intelligent,
interesting people on this planet is 5 billion?  Sorry, one of my
misanthrope vices.  A friend recently ran screaming from the area,
after coming from the East Coast, to Europe, Paris; he's now ready
to run screaming from that ever-popular bustling center of activity.

Nothing, nothing at all.  It's probably not as terrible as most of
the places you could choose.  I'd opt for Budapest, myself, at the
moment.

Well, now, a note of appreciation ... but still, I rilly must wonder
if, should I delve back into a gallon of messages, I would find I ever
used the word "pringle" in any context ... but then, perhaps you didn't
mean me ...

M, in tripped-up happenstance, noting, with well-verved and rehearsed
clarity, that RAW, along with Fuller and even John Cage, thinks that
Joyce was a bloody genius, a vaticinating shot against the pestilant 
tyrannies of the age, and RAW, like the other two, managed to find a 
use for him in his "theories"...
