Jerry, I'm upset with you! A Mensan that doesn't know how the organization got its name! Now what would Margot Seitelman think of that, after all the literature she's sent your way? The word "Mensa" is Latin for "table" to indicate the philosophy of the interactions -- a table around which we all sit to discuss our opinions. (Well, some of us stand and shout, but the idea is there.....) BTW, I'm a Mensan, and I don't think a "Mensan" newsgroup would be very useful. Now, a group to discuss matters related to intellegence (or lack thereof) might be useful, but that's a VERY different subject and should be discussed seperately (although I would think that it might be better used as a potential topic in a more general newsgroup -- was net.psychology ever started?). -- -- Greg Noel, NCR Torrey Pines Greg@ncr-tp.UUCP or Greg@nosc.ARPA
