<I take back everything bad I ever said about you> CB, I don't recall you saying anything bad, apart from swearing and vituperation. Being a lawyer, you'd be far too circumspect to commit libelous comments to the enduring memory of cyberspace. Since there is nothing bad that can be said about me which is true, therefore, you said nothing bad. Once I've improved my modesty, I think I should have completed Human Perfection - the first human in history to have achieved that state. I'll Google "modesty" for some pointers on how world-class humility is achieved. A modesty edit function in SI might help, a bit like the 1,2 or 3 chiles in Eudora which identify immoderate messages. Anyway, usually, if people say bad stuff about other people, it's a reflection more on themselves than the person being denigrated. Unless it's IRA people of course. Maybe Osama too. <... I am not the crafty sort ... > Giggle. <I downloaded new bankruptcy software for a new bankruptcy client, and instructions from the IRS website on how to set up a nonprofit corporation for another client. > The burgeoning value of cyberspace is amazing. Even year by year, the development is worth hyperbole, but remember life in 1993, with Compuserve Pacific and other services available in cyberspace. When I think of the laborious and expensive efforts to find and move fragments of information it is like having been alive when dinosaurs ruled the earth. THE BEST IS YET TO COME. That's QUALCOMM's latest epithet. I'm not too bad at imagining things, and I like to imagine a bit beyond reality. But reality is catching up to my cyberspace ideas so fast that I'm in danger of being over run. It took decades to roll out the canals, railways and roads. It took vast expense and labour and materials to do it. Cyberspace is lighting up like a global Xmas tree, but more like the starry sky, in an infinite array of nodes, phragmented photons and gravitational pull. If I was religiously inclined, I would say things that would embarrass me. I am a member of The New Zealand Association of Rationalists and Humanists nzarh.org.nz My mother [who was once president of the association] would turn in her grave and the current priesthood would excommunicate me. The Libertarians who are also Objectivists libertarianz.org.nz would hang, draw and quarter me, were it not for their determined intentions not to initiate force. They are not, however, above using seriously abusive and vituperative language to express their views on one's pedigree. Mqurice PS: Perhaps you said something bad about me in the privacy of your own home. Heh, heh!
