[MD] The Academy is Evil! Here's what I'd do instead...

Well Ian, I admit I skim a lot.  But I must say, it's a relief to see your
comments all queue'd up with the others.  Evidently sending you a private
e-mail was all it took to teach my gmail filters that Ian Glendinning is NOT
spam.

But interesting note, some people could be labeled that way evidently, and
you'd never have to read them again, while still participating in the
general chat.

Not that I'd ever do such a thing.  I love each and every person here, even
the nasty ones.

No, I take that back.  Especially the nasty ones!

I guess it was Rand who said there is no compromise between food and
poison?  I disagree.  Nutmeg is a poison, but in small doses it's a spice.
And there are some life forms, recently discovered (see marsha's link)  even
fond of arsenic, whereas too much water can kill you.

So just take a sip, is my suggestion.
