It was and is a joke, started with Gravity's Rainbow Group Reading and
grew into a habit, something like caffein: Mass Discussion of Mason &
Dixon, Steady Lecture of Slow Learner etc. Exceptions include atdtda
(Tim Strechowski's Touching (the) Dog's *rse), Rob's MDDM (Deep and
Meaningful), etc. Can't remember the quickie we 'did' with Col49 during
a Summer in 2003? 4? 5?
Anyway, it is not important.
Michel.
