IOW my practice -- once a year at most -- *may* be driving
people away. So be it. It's a jokeswap list. The easily driven can
live without. I know for sure that the real regulars (who are also
chief sources) share both my devotion to a good laugh and my
detestation of spam. We'll go on.
Incidentally, if you (DavidT), or any regular on *this*
list -- anyone whose name I'll recognize -- wants on, the
invitation is yours for the asking. I'm very careful whom I invite,
and I know the regulars here have minds -- good ones.

On the Internet, you can never tell who is a dog --
supposing you care -- but you can tell who has a mind.
