And that's a problem for you because...? Is it rude, crude, and socially
unacceptable for somebody to make a comment on Klarinet which may or may
not be self-evidently relevant from YOUR point of view? Is it an illusion,
or are people on Klarinet getting slightly more uptight and nerve-exposed
than usual these days? Get over yourselves, people -- it's just email.
