Roy Orbison: Mercy, Venice & Viena

[Dave Monroe]

You whine a lot about a lot of things here, Terrance,
but you rarely if ever do anything that seems to be a
"better," or even a "different" way of doing things
here.  Indeed, you are typically among the most
oblique, esoteric, inscrutible, and, at times,
seemingly irrelevant posters here.  You want to start
up a GR reading?  Then do it.  I'll no doubt join in. 
As will many here.  But it's pointless  to complain
that people aren't doing things your way, the way you
think tehy should eb done, whatever.  The point of
having all these list memebrs, the point of expanding
list membership, was, I'm assuming, is, I'm observing,
and should be, I'm asserting, to get as much input in
as many ways as possible.  Again, all mouth, no hit. 
And I would especially note that precisely the way NOT
to encourage discussion here is to spen yr time
constantly berating any and all who do post, and that
definitely includes Robert's baiting and nitpicking to
the point of, respectively, insult and/or annoyance,
of various members, active or otherwise, here.  Okay,
back to, well, what I do.  Basic research, eprhaps,
but somebody's gotta do it.  Stuff for y'all to use,
or not.  Either way, teh text is still there, feel
free to take it up here however you'd like.  By the
way, I do think Togetherness has been claimed, Tim,
but if you find out otherwise, I might actually take a
different tack on it than might be expected here. 
Okay, now having wasted half of what little online
time I get today on celaing out a couple/three inboxes
and then typing up this little screed ...
