	I don't have the will to read through or even delete this kind of
arrogance and disrespect anymore. I'm unsubscribing from both M-I and M-TH; I
would appreciate it if someone would be kind enough to forward to me
anything excellent, especially the essays and discussion related to the
cyber-seminar, that appears while I'm gone. Or perhaps someone like LNP
would be kind enough to start a WWW archive of M-I essays? Also, e-mail me
when a new list or webpage exists with a strong enough organization to
ensure a more civil and thoughtful discussion with a larger set of
contributors. 						
	
G'day,
