Now, Karen, I just can't have this. You know you're one of my
favorite people in this realm. I mean, it's not everyone with whom I
share having flunked out of college. I think Marilyn is simply
misunderstood, and I've taken to feeling very kindly toward her.
I've sensed from the beginning that she operates on a different
plane altogether, and we should take that into consideration. So,
come, sweet Petunia, let us not bear grudges. mem

The point of quiet rather than open was to keep them from immediately

The purpose was to ask the postmaster there to distribute some kind of

Well thank you Norman!  I most certainly agree :-) ...voted for myself
on this item!

Oh, were we susposed to list our vehicles also?   hmmm, my fleet:

90 Bronco II - my go to work and tow behind motor home car - kind of loose
               on it's feet - so hardly ever drive over 70

85 Lincoln Town Car - used to be my deceased wife's car (she died in 87)
                      gave it to Joyce ...still looks are runs good, but
                      underpowered ...but gets good gas mileage

78 Ford E150 Van -  work truck that looks and runs very well -  has gas hog
                    351 engine

72 Toyota Celica  -  great little car I have had for years ...still looks
                     and runs fantastic!  Very fast and manueverable..
                     will probably let Dawn try to kill it..!

84 Eldorado 35 ft motorhome ... Bought this new, has less than 50,000 miles
                     looks a little faded on outside, but still runs great.
                     Has massive 454 (to which I have added Banks Power Pack)
                     engine.  Towing Bronco II at easy 70 MPH, get about
                     5.5 MPH ....not bad for house on wheels!

And I wonder why I seem to be broke all the time!

Don, who no longer owns 140+ MPH vehicles   .....sigh, must be getting old..

Another method, which I forgot last night, is to send some inoccuous
command to the listserv in question....and send it interactively
via bitnet....for example, ask to sub again....anyway, if the command is
NOT processed, I get back a msg saying "link xyz is down" or "listserv

listserv is being held....but it does answer many questions.

Subject:      Split infinitives

I am interested in hearing opinions (biased or not) on the steady erosion of
the infinitive form. A few years ago in graduate school, I spent a semester
subjected to the vagaries of transformational grammar. Although I have tried
very hard to erase the memories of that class, one vision still haunts me - my
instructor struggling to explain why there was no such thing as an infinite
form of a verb. Therefore, there was no reason to worry about splitting an
infinitive, because there was no infinitive to split.

I always thought my instructor would have been right at home in Orwell's
Minitrue, but the genie was already out of the bottle long before that
man started teaching. The infinitive has been under steady assault for about
20 years now, and it looks like the forces of evil will win this one.

5) Fred Flintstonemobile - a comment about my so-called car.  It often
drives the way Fred Flintstone's car did.  His car had no floorboards, and
it moved when Fred put his feet on the tarmac and ran, if one can run
sitting down.  Putt has his floorboards intact, but there are times,
 especially on hills, when it feels like I ought to get out and push.:-)

8)Ivory Soap/Austin City Limits - The first is a brand of soap meant to be 
used on humans.  It's free of perfumes and "deoderant" chemicals, and has 
been for close to a century.  The famous claim of the manufacturer is that 
it's 99.44% pure.
Austin City Limits is a television program that appears on PBS, whenever
my local station decides to air it.  It features several musical performers
and groups each time it's on.  They change with every show,and can range from
country to blues to folk to a mix of anything and everything.  I've seen reggae
musicians on it too.  But, whatever's on is always good.  The theme song for
the show is "London Homesick Blues"....

10)Kal Kan - a brand of dog food.

16)Lenore - the woman [dead] in Edgar Allan Poe's poem, "The Raven".  
The narrator was in love with here, and her name keeps cropping up, mainly
because it rhymes with "nevermore", a word the raven keeps using.
"perched upon the pallid bust of Pallas, high above my chamber door.  Only
this and nothing more."

I give.  I'm certain that this passage has some profound significance which
is eluding me at the moment.  If anyone reading this has better luck with
it, I'd appreciate your assistance.
