Eliezer, I want a focus. Regular chat channels are entertaining energy sinks.
I already use this list for that. [self-deprecating grin/grimace]
Pointlessness has its point, as I and others have remarked, but I'd prefer
something like the Nanoschmooze approach of at least having a nominal topic
(this month's NS one relates to managing the hype-boom-bust WRT "nano" buzz.
It might not be doable, but it's at least a topic. If we get a topic as well
as a time, the odds go up that I'll schedule attendance, or know not to be
bugged that I missed it.

Harvey, I too felt the irresistable urge to interpolate my comments as I read
the log.
Not sick, just an urge that feels uncomfortable, getting drawn in like a ghost
at the table. Cheers.

I am not here to have an argument. I am here as part of a civilization.
Sometimes I forget.
