yes, i've wandered back into usenet. i realise that when my son is in
residence with me is usenet season: i'm home nights, rather than
pulling long days & nights at the bookstore. so i wandered in here and
commenced reading both ends against the middle. tonight i've been
catching up with older threads. i hadn't realised that the current
discussion had some roots in a previous discussion. since that
previous discussion is hanging out on my feed, i'm caught up in it,
although i did finally notice by the dates that most everyone else is
probably done with it by now. ah, well. i'm not sorry to be reading
some stellar posts by aqua, kai, serene, piglet, pat, lisa, and
others, as well as seeing the selfsame arguments, willful ignorance,
and the rest exhibited again by the usual suspects. it's like coming
back to a soap opera; the characters are the same, the threads are
easy to pick up, it's all so *familiar*. same song, different words.
for once i'll point out that my feeling compelled to comment is in no
way an expectation that anyone else will feel compelled to read those
comments. pass by if you want; i'm just refre****ng myself at the
fountains of alt.poly, long past my bedtime.
