Hi, Doug, Peter said it well, no rules. He was going away once for the weekend and I offered. Anyone is welocme to put in their own, too.

I feel some ambivalence at the quote, too. I like your likening it to the Internet re' ad hoc adventurism, but I am also grateful that many communities, some great ones of civilisation, have gone on despite the demise of some of their founders. On the other hand, it is the nature of things to be constantly changing, so, even when we are a part of them, they are never the same as times goes by, eh?
