You haven't contributed anything interesting that I can recall. Even if you discount my comments, surely you must have noticed that rarely do your posts generate significant follow-up. (Which is a small blessing.) Sometimes you natter about about you think the RAND Corporation, your apparent ideal, would do things, and sometimes you praise Herman Kahn and other O.R. types. But you have nothing significant to contribute about anything closely related to list themes. > You should think about some of the real issues and come up with some kind of incisive analysis or creative proposal--even Choate is more on-topic than you've been.
