I may not have made myself clear. I can verify that I certainly am a crabby old guy who has been known to bitch and moan about the level of discourse on this list over the years, but that was not what I was doing (at least it was not my primary aim) in my post. It seemed to me that I had been reading the same digest over and over again. I mean, not just quoted and re-quoted, but the same digest with the same messages and the same dates. Maybe I'm losing it in my dotage (the shock of turning 57 on the exact semi-centenary of Brain's demise may have hastened this), but I just wanted confirmation or denial of this from someone out there on the list.
Well, now that I have probably further confused and alienated those that I have already offended and befuddled, I'll leave it at that. And to the person that implied that I'd be better off starting a new topic, I'll just assume that she is new on this list since I am sure that the number and variety of my past postings speak for themselves. You could look it up.
