A Genoan Rap on Global Burled Wanking

[RuudSaurins at aol.com]

Scuza, por favore, but many recent postings seem to have much more to do with the petty personal squabbles, political ideologies, and assorted tangential opinions of P-listers than with TRP and his work.  As a novice lister I politely inquire if this is really what the list is all about.  If so; I'm simply bubbly at the prospect of sharing with fellow listers my most personal and vibrant insights concerning comparative invertebrate nephrology (notable for the conspicuous absence it enjoys in all of TRP's collected works).  
     I feel that following the postings has enormously enriched my appreciation of TRP, but this is getting silly and I fear that AOL (Master-Cabal, anyone?) will start itemizing my subscription fee for use of the delete button.  
     Anyone heard any rumors about what TRP is/has been working on for his next publication?  Tome or novella?  Essay, perhaps?  I certainly have not, but I would love to hear any info anyone may have stumbled across.
