Moment of truth, folks.  I played with dolls when I was a child of
very tender age, which was the cause of much abuse from my peers and
parents and teachers and everyone else, and I always wanted to play
with the girls at recess, and was humilliated when the teachers made
me play with the boys.  I grew up to be very sensitive and caring, as
you all know very well.  BTW, I would certainly appreciate any
email sent to my tc explaining to her that I am very sensitive and
caring.......   I enjoyed making paper dolls at the age of six but
my mother was very concerned that I always made the breasts too
prominent, nipples and all.  I was a precocious child.

This is the case for 2 reasons:  First, the chip uses fewer clock cycles
(or steps) to execute most instructions.  Second, it has a chunk of high-
speed memory on the chip to store recent instructions and data so it can
use them more quickly if they are needed again.

The Greeks started writing grammatical treatises around the time of
Aristotle (4th cent). I found a refenence in Aristophanes (5th c)
who uses 'arsen' (the word for male and the male sex) to refer
to the gender of nouns. See _Clouds_ 682. Probably 'thelys' (female)
and 'oudeteros' (neither of the two) for fem. and neut. So go ahead and
blame it on the Greeks. At least in the West. Unfortunately,
there are no Sanskritists at hand to ask about developments in the East.

This may be true of some, but *I* (because of my ontological

Canary Islands and in Mexico, I was accused often of being Dutch
or Portuguese (!).  In the Canaries, the first few days (before the

                              The Leaving of Lob

Chapter 1: The Beginning

I hated to do it, but the director of admissions at a POLYtechnical institution
in CALifornia (the institution shall remain nameless) called and wanted to know
when his system was going to be done. Having promised it to him by monday
(today), I figured I should finish (read "start") it, especially since he'd
already forked out the cash for it.

A quick analysis of the situation showed me that 1) I could take 3 days of
vacation;  2) I could pretend to be working for my current employers while
really doing my other <work> (have I got it right yet, gigmeister?); or 3) I
could not do words-l for a couple of days.  As much as it pained me, I chose 3.

Chapter 2: Why not 1 or 2?

Why not?  Well, option 1 would have put me in front of a computer, still subbed
to words-l which is not good at all, especially when time-savings are of
primary importance.  Option 2 -- believe me, I had considered it.  However,
they pay me as it is to read words-l.  I still had work to do for them, work
that gets put off enough anyway so in the name of fairness and liking my
employer, I very well couldn't have done that.

So, option 3 became the only feasible, albeit, painful choice.

Chapter 3:  Why not just set nomail?

Good question.  I'd never unsubbed before.  I normally set nomail when I leave
or whatever.  I unsubbed this time. Don't ask me why.  Could have been
psychological or whatever.  But it's not like it's really hard to unsub or sub
to this list.

Chapter 4: I tried to sub again on Saturday

but our cluster was down until this morning.  I basically got done on Saturday,
so I logged in only to find out that I couldn't log in until Monday morning.

Chapter 5: Was Chris upset at being called an asshole?

I don't know. Maybe some but I think I'm more bothered that people can get so
angry at things said here or that they feel a need to lash out somehow.  I mean,
what's the use of being on this list, a rather fun list, if you get mad.  Hurt,
maybe, but not angry.  I guess some people respond to their hurt in anger,
though, which I really hadn't considered.  I'll stay up tonight and think about
it.  But I went back and read my postings. They weren't written in anger and
I'm certainly sorry if people interpreted them that way.  I pretty much think
it's a waste of energy to get mad at stuff like that.  I guess others don't.

Gotta run.  The director of admissions at that school is on the phone and I
have to talk to him.  It means another job.

Chris

Sounds like you're one of the crowd who has actually *read*
Aristotle and knows how wacked out he is.  One of my favorite
bits is from the Rhetoric--punish someone who steals three obols
severely--if he'll steal three obols, he'll stop at nothing.
