I wish DB would come back.  I think folks (and the list in general) were
more polite when we knew that Brin would be reading their messages.
Sometimes that was a bad thing.  I was terrified to post when he was here
for fear that he would read something I wrote and say "who is that idiot?"
(Not that that couldn't happen now with the rest of you, of course.)  A few
IAAMOAC's and thinks would get much better in a hurry.

Then again, I could just be pining for the old days...
