     Careful, Natalie -- you're turning into a net.fascist.

     Wouldn't you miss hearing the voices of people you like?
     * and <> and :) can only express so much.  With e-mail, my mother
     wouldn't be able to do her best telephone trick, where I say
     "Hello," and she says "What's wrong?"

     I'm slowly learning to distiguish all of your e-voices -- but
     it's harder to keep people straight when all you have to go on is
     subject matter, word choice, and certain <typographic

My only experience w/ support lines has been w/ WP and EW+, the Japanese
word processor I use.  My experience w/ the latter was limited and very
unpleasant in both lgs.  They have a captive audience and they know it.
(It's the dos-based Japanese wordpreocessing program.)  My experience
w/ WP has been of much longer standing, and much more extensive. I've
come across the ditz only 3 or 4 times out of maybe 100 or more phone
calls.  They are helpful, and willing to chat, and they *listen*.  Most
of my problems are complicated enough that either the problem is not
addressed in the manual, or it is not obvious that it is addressed. I
have not had the problem of what I know or don't know--they seem to be
able to judge levels quite well.

As for emailing someone who knows... I have found the Bitnet WP list
to be useless, and like I said, my problems are pretty obscure.

I think they are stupid, then.  I have to admit that it depends on
what the appliance is.  The first VCR I bought I read everything,
because I'd never had one before.  The next one, I probably won't
read anything, because I'm familiar w/ their care and feeding. But
lately all the appliances I've bought are first-ones-I've-ever-owned
things.

Hmmm...but I don't read software manuals.  I think it should be some-
how intuitive.

I set my friends' VCR clocks w/out their manuals (which they have
usually lost).

Living on 6 and 1/2 miles from the park and having season tickets tickets

Me too, Karen.  I just don't admit it very often, because most people
don't do it, and they seem to think that reading the documentation
(such as it is) is, somehow, strange.  I think that most appliance
and electrical equipment (what else would you call a VCR, receiver,
etc.?) accompanying materials are pretty poorly written, but they
almost always have *some* useful information.  Without the
documentation, I'm not sure I would have figured out how to hook up
my cable (TV) through my VCR and my stereo.  Once I did it, though, I
found myself in demand with my friends to help them do it!  Of
course, they didn't read the instructions that came with *their*
VCRs.  Oh, well, I like being the resident expert. (Guess that's why
I became a librarian)

Well, I was on the temporal fringes of the clambake only, but then I'm always
temporally displaced.  And hey, wait a minute, my views are ALWAYS fuzzy.

We should, I think, study the phenomenon of list-persona-phase-shifts
carefully, by continuing to arrange occasional random meetings of
physical personae (? I'm not too good with Latin plurals ?) and
monitoring the rate of change back to the list norm.  Might be a bit
tough to quantify.  Anyone got an idea what we should use as a unit measure?

Gloucester experiment coming up sometime in August.  Details when we've got a
definite experimental design, or at least a fuzzy one.

Paul and I had a nice brunch with Tony and Barbara in Toronto on
Sunday, and then toured yet another mansion with Tony.  As soon as I
get back from my time warp, I'll see if it caused perhaps a fleeting
relapse.  Was Tony himself yesterday?  Or was he a phantasm?

Now where did I leave that Tardis?

Yes that sounds familiar and would be 2nd or 3rd choice. I think
these used to be stacked up in Barnes and Noble in Boston. Thanks, Don

I think it's like religion...many people think that *their* way is
the *only* right way...for everyone.  Then there are those of us who
feel that everyone needs to find their own way, and it may be
different for different people (or in the case of computers, for
different people and for different uses).  I tend to agree with you,
Pat, sometimes I prefer a Mac and sometimes a PC.  Now, if only I
could afford to *buy* both...
