[R-390] Important! R-390 Non

It is summertime, when silly things happen and thunder rumbles
oppressively in the distance. So I find myself in full agreement
with what Mike said. I have missed Nolan.

Evolution (believe it or not) progressed from surviving individuals
to surviving groups, big enough to eliminate the threat of other
groups. And so genes for the control of groups flourished in the
pool, along with the genes to make leaders fight it out until there
was only one who led. This has left us with a significant amount of
the population who have high control needs. They mostly live under
rocks, hoping that true leaders do not discover them.

And so they appear on all Internet lists, sometimes hiding and other
times loudly protesting that the list needs more control, dammit. If
these folks have the power to force the list administrator to enforce
rules that will make this a dry and sterile group, then I am sorry to
see it come to such an end.

How many times can you discuss filter "leakage", grounding, tube
substitutions, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera? I sent some mail on this
subject earlier. If you don't remember it, then it was not memorable
and so it goes. But I won't unsubscribe until somebody takes that
freedom from me.

Good fortune, my friends. May we have a better outcome than this.

P.S. Someone once told Ted Sturgeon that 90% of science fiction was
crap. Ted responded that 90% of everything was crap. And so it is
with this list. It needs more off-topic stuff (but not far off-topic,
like politics or resource shortages or the deterioration of our once
proud civilization) to hold the ratio at 90%.

Well...  it had to come.

Fellows, I have enjoyed this list up to now.  All of it.  Especially
the fun and off-topic spoofs.

But it seems this list too is headed the way of our government 
and out freedom.  Looks like it too is headed downhill.
