Yes, I can take pills for it :-) Yes, I admit that there's a lot of trash on this group, (if I have to read one more article about how English is decaying, I'll scream), but I figured out early on what the 'n' key does. And surely it's got to be better to hold arguments only on this group than on net.women, net.philosophy, and net.abortion, cross posted. It only costs a third as much, right? So change the figures -- it's now 22:2! Pat Juola Johns Hopkins University Dept. of Maths
