>maya my dear *where* have you been....

	You're a <sweetheart> to notice, but I'm afraid it's not an
entertaining story.  It has to do with pseudodivorce and moving and
questions like "I know your mother gave us the RevereWare, but can I keep
it anyway?"  It was all so civilized and orderly, like Atlantis slipping
quietly beneath the sea.

	Sploop!

	Let me add here that I look forward eagerly to WHTMITL, and would
have been the first to tell you so if others hadn't already.

I just really *love* this message.  After Natalie's explanation in
the previous note, it strikes me that <mem> is referring to our own
dear Natalie Maynor as the <listserv software>....  I like it.  I

Yesterday I took the RER from Paris to Ch. de Gaulle
airport, stood in the (non)line to get a boarding
pass, learned that the plane would be 2 hours late
leaving (and therefore arriving), eventually got on
board, and found I was 3-across with two other women,
one a new college grad who had not managed to find a
job in France this summer, the other a teacher from
central Massachusetts, about my age, who had been
visiting one of her 3 sons, who lives and works in
France for Teradyne (sp?).

First leg from de Gaulle to Iceland, I mostly slept,
while the other two talked. Second leg, we rearranged
ourselves, and the teacher started talking to me at
length. A couple of hours into the conversation, after
we had filled out our customs form, and she had left
hers lying on the tray in front of her, she said something
that finally led me to look at her name.

Yes, she had been in the folkdance club at Brown from 1962
to 1965, when her husband, whom she had met in the club, got
his PhD and they moved on.  (And for those who don't know
about this part of my life, I had started the folkdance club
when we first came to Brown, so I feel sorta responsible for all
the couples who met there and eventually married.)

love, and good morning, to all,

   An easy mistake to make.  Both of them masters of English prose.
   Both come at the language from other-than-native soil.  Both are
   rigorously mathematically trained.  Sense of humor very much alike
   in both of them.  Both names start with a "t".

   Tushar, are you aware of how much anxiety you caused on this list?
   Some of us were already working on funeral orations.  ("He loved
   the City.  Not any ideal City, but the teeming fetid City, in all
   Its rancid glory--his native Bombay, the south side of Chicago,
   the mean streets of New York where he perished" is as far as I got.)

Since this was a response to something I wrote, I'm not sure whether to
interpret the yankee "you" as "y'all" or "you."  If I interpret it as
"y'all," I'll ignore the question.  But maybe I'll interpret it as
singular, in which case my answer is easy:  The answer to the last question
is "none of the above."  I can't remember ever having had occasion to
pronounce "tmesis."  Probably I would pronounce "Knopp" [k{shwa}nap].  But
I don't speak German.

The proud bumper stickers I've seen were all referring to students at
*public* schools.  I saw them as counters to the emphasis on atheletcs, too
-- never ocurred to me that anyone would think of them as snobbish.

Subject:      It finally worked!

I still don't understand why, but the renewal of list subscription that
I thought I had set in motion a long time ago never seemed to work.  I
changed it a couple of days ago from yearly to 6-monthly, and it worked
today.  I just got a long list of names of deadwood who have been sent
renewal requests.  What I'm really happy about is that the listserv is
smart enough to know not to send the request to people who have been
active on the list lately.  That means that none of you should be receiving
renewal requests, except possibly for extra addresses that you've got nomail
set on and have perhaps forgotten about.  This means, of course, that two
weeks from now the total number of subscribers to this list will drop
noticeably.  But it also means that those people listed when you send
the 'review' command will be real people, not ghosts.

Boy, do I feel dumb. !=carriage return.  That's what I needed instead
of ; as the dialing command suffix.  But ! wasn't listed as that in
the manual; it was listed as flashing the switchhook, which I wasn't
after.

Argh!!!!

But now everything is hunky dory.  Not even any line noise any more.
Hey, Natalie, does your hot-off-the-presses copy of PCPLUS allow you
to choose your MNP level as part of the dialing directory?

Well, then, you would have every right to ask what *they* are doing there?
