Hi, BS.  As for illiteracy, well, I'll let others on this net
comment about our relative skills with the language! (For
one thing, in the English language, proper names are
capitalized!)

As for irrelevant, again (sorry, Elise, but some folks don't
catch on at first), who controls a computer network will likely
make a VERY relevant difference in how it's operated, which
interests it will serve, etc.  Also, you may have missed my
attempts to get back to that subject, as distinguished from
discussions on voting systems.  But I think it's only natural
that tangents will be pursued.  A recent discussion in tx.general
started out with an announcement on a memorial rally for
Harvey Milk, and has ended up with discussions on 
conscription, etc.  While anything can get out of hand,
you should realize that some digression is inevitable.

Actually, the proper word is "damned".

Thanks for your input.
