  Ah, but according to the horrifying explanation I read, when people
drown after stepping on a stonefish (which is not necessarily fatal in
itself) it's because they drown themselves to find relief from the
pain.

Hai, dozo, Karen. Portland holds few <charms>, all I can say. If we're
gonna do West Coast, let's do SF. But again, we run into the fact that
only a small contingent of Wordslers would find that venue convenient or
doable. NC is hardly hot in the summer, unless you call temperatures in
the 80's hot. If you want heat to complain about, let's have it in
Austin--there is no hotter oven in hell than Austin in the summer. As for
humidity, come to Edinburg...we have 96%RH from April to November--my skin
get so dependent on atmospheric moisture that the first few days I spend
out of the Valley I shed scale like a fish. No, NC, or any other beautiful
place on the eastern seaboard is far likelier to give people a chance to
come. Boston is also likely to produce a good turnout.

But again, who says we all have to do the same party?

And yes, to hope for another Providence-like idyll with gracious hostesses
and overrunning bathrooms is probably too much. But that's just me, ever

  What does volume have to do with it? Presumably, to say that
netiquette is subtle is to say that it is not necessarily clear to an
outsider, or can easily be explicitly stated by an insider, what is or
is not "acceptable" or "standard" behavior - much as in other cultural
contexts.

  >I would also say that if a lot of responses have to be as strong as

  >denotations, that that subtlety is questionable.

  The degree of subtlety in messages is a matter of individual style,
and has little to do with netiquette.

  There are those who prefer to talk about words or other serious
matters only in strictly moderated groups or lists (the only way of
enforcing "civilized rules" such as you originally envisioned).  I
think it's a good thing that some of these people should find, with
shock and disappointment, that it is possible for a list to be named
"words" and yet let the tone and character of the exchanges be
determined by the sense and sensibilities of the contributors.

Well, I got the cable that connects the Vaxstation monitor and keyboard
together, and now I'm installing OS/2 on it. Boy, these weird little icons
and pictures are a DRAG (and drop). As soon as I get the OS/2 warez up, I
am gonna put on FSP and a hacked version of fingerd that I happen to know
about and see how many Wordslers finger me. Next, I'll install a copy of
the Angelou poem and put 'more maya' in eveyone's .login. The OS/2 will
serve as a windowing interface for the real presentation layer, which will
be a beta of Windows NT running in the OS/2 DOS compatability box. I hope
to chain an Amiga 4000 to the slip line to offload icon painting, plus the
Amiga's ability to emulate a Mac will keep the office users happy--we'll
be able to run 12 simultaneous sessions of Excel 4.0 and do recalcs by
executing a simple macro that throws the math directly into the
Vaxstation's DMA, saving picoseconds per instruction! Once I've managed to
get System V UNIX(tm) running on the Amiga, we'll throw all our
development efforts into hacking together a NNTP server that runs under
OS/2-Win NT, and I think we can spawn a process that runs Win For
Workgroups 3.1 without TOO much effort. The WFW will be responsible for
serving X Windows, naturally.

A condensed version of the same is offered by Mascaro in the introduction
to _The Dhammapada_:

"Besides the scriptures in Pali (the sutta-pitakas), there is a vast Buddhist
literature written in Sanskrit, and in Chinese and Tibetan tranlations."

OK, now you've made me do it.[open my big mouth that is]  I say nay to
gray; some people look great in it, others look like week-old corpses.
I happen to fall into the latter category.  Cranberry's fine, and teal would
be traditional.  Navy, purple, royal blue, black, pink [nahhh], or bright
red maybe, but NOT gray.  <ICK>

Of course, if you really want to make a bunch of us look ill, there are
always brown, khaki, olive drab, camo, mustard, orange.......:-)

Greetings,

Gerald Walton posted a query about OPACs (one of the very few topics in
which I can claim a moderate level of expertise).  Since I'm reading
the list this week on nn, and since his address didn't show up, I'm forced
to suggest he write me directly at CROSEN@OPIE.BGSU.EDU.  I may be
able to offer a little assistance.

Of course, one wonders why anyone would ask this question of a bunch of
amateurs (like most wordslingers) when there are a dozen lists that
focus on library-related topics in detail.

This is true for most of the regulars on the list.  Some of them are
