P. comments:
"I'd go a step further, Murthy. Non-reaction is the BEST form of
DISapproval. Or, I should say, WOULD BE the best form.
Unfortunately, it's the form requiring the most self-discipline, which
is probably why it's so seldom practiced.
 
To clarify, the p-list is not forties Germany. Being silent isn't going to result in anyb
ody's getting killed."

I've been doing a *lot* of disapproving this week about several topics, but found
no need to further clog up my files with what were sure to be predictable 
responses to anything I might say, especially when others had already said it
for me.

In the meantime, I'
m three episodes behind in the GRGR, our e-mail system is virtually inoperative
4 days out of the week because of demands placed on it from the students 
here, and I've got two weeks left in the quarter and another term to prepare
for.  (Yes, I am an academic!)  

Keep the GRGR going, foax!  It's the best single reason to put up with everything
else!
