The Buffalo list has gone almost completely to notices for books and
readings. It's not a bad thing at all, but sometimes tiny dust-ups can lead
to big discoveries. No one's ever died from intense conversations that end
in laughter, Alpha-Zeta male or female. The sorry truth is that most of you
on this list are a bunch of old duffers, getting older and crankier every
day while using this creaky old method of communication--like pounding out
messages on a termite-hollowed tree. Soon the linguistic ethnographers will
be dropping in to ask you exactly how you pronounce certain words. As for
me, I've almost lost all my hair but none of my good looks. It's the green
tea that preserves me, Buddha be praised! Jess of Japan
