GRGR(9): Bringing it back On-list (was: Welcome)

[David Morris]

Does anyone, other than Terrance, have a problem with me posting this?  Was 
I somehow out of line?

By the way, to make it perfectly clear, my offlist "discussion" with 
Terrance did not include anything about "Slothrop as Tannhauser and katje as 
venus," as was implied.  They were mostly praise for his Luddite/Voltaire 
post a week back.  Until Terrance's post, I was completely unaware who 
Tannhauser was.

I bring this back online, because the last thing I need is to be part of any 
P-list intrigue.
