I am not sure if I am reading you correctly and I am not quite sure what people have against Morlock - albeit I suspect he (he?) stepped on my toes lightly in the past, but not hard enough to remember what was it, exactly. I am subscribed to few other lists and Morlock is not really that bad, trust me. Perhaps it is a problem with consistency. Not very long ago there was a lament about how this list lacks a "different opinion". It is possible I understand a word "different" differently, but as long as I want a different opinion, I need to be prepared for reading from people whose ideals are different than mine, and this is how I understand "consistency", in this context. Say what is this thing that you need and when it comes to you, do not whim. To give you some example, I myself do not have big faith in socialism (contrary to some posters here). At the same time, I do not have big faith in capitalism, either (in case I would be called "rightist" by some 0-1 types). However, I find reading opinions of people who actually believe in those things to be rather educating for me. -- Regards, Tomasz Rola -- ** A C programmer asked whether computer had Buddha's nature. ** ** As the answer, master did "rm -rif" on the programmer's home ** ** directory.
