Following up on these thoughts, just in case anyone but
myself has anything to say about them ( no harm, no foul
if no one does :-), it occurs to me that the stance of
the TMO is 1) "We have all the answers you could possibly

Has to be. That's the beautiful and divine function of boredom - it urges us to
move on for the moment. "Nothing to see here citizens, move along..." - any
beat cop from a 40's movie. Boredom reminds us to look someplace else.
