Hmm. Well, that's an action of ego, isn't it. As are most human endeavours.
My ego action for the evening is to add this to my .procmailrc file:
# was being provocative on the harp-list
:
rich-d@dircon.co.uk
/dev/null
I think its function is self-explanatory. If not, the keyword is 'was'.
I know rich-d has valuable things to say. But the range of his voice
has decreased by one. This is, probably, a shame. Oh well.
If it protects me from this battle, then that is the choice I have made.
Everyone may consider that they have a choice here. You can tune in,
or tune out, anyone you choose. You can even get help from your computer.
It is no small thing to *plonk* someone, especially in public. I offer
it as food for thought, for those of us, me being one, whose passion
occasionally ... serves ill our cause.
