 First, thanks to Vaska for mentioning the subconscious role in
intention...more grist for the mill.

  I just wanted to add a few quotes from Arthur van Tilberg Clark's _The
Ox-Box Incident_ (and my intent here is *not* to make any connection
between list activity and lynching!)  <sheepish grin>

  "It's queer how deeply [someone] can be cut when he [or she] does take
anything seriously."

  "Any man is weak when nobody cares for the things that mean something to
him."

cheers,

 will
