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.
