To those ready to do this right, thankyouthankyouthankyou.

If this group read shit-cans itself, I will be most ready to continue 
off-line.

Yes, sex/death/shit are such basic human activities and evoke basic human 
emotions.  This is a good point to mention now, as something to keep in

prominent role.  Although I'm not a technogeek, I will have to more to add 
wrt technology as we get there.
