Your right on my account. I joined the mailing list because I had allready e-mailed Steve directly with a few comments. His answers were short, but, witty and interesting and my questions and his answers had little to do with the books. The list is an excellent forum not only to converse with Steve, but also a way to converse with others who have the same interests. I have found the members of the list to be well educated, well spoken and courteous, (even when arguing (which we do alot)). I may not want to take long, hot, showers with Steve (or any you for that matter, nah!), but I do enjoy his humor and would miss this list were it to be discontinued. Most of what I post really has nothing to do with the books, but I do read and enjoy the information that is posted here. You guys come up with esoteric stuff I would never have caught in a million years. Another off topic diatribe from, John D. Barbato, OD
