You could actually share your OWN experiences about Vonnegut and his
writing, instead of tearing into someone who may only have had a minute
to relay the news just then.
Sharing your OWN experiences, here, and not just throwing a link at
people is more likely to generate actual DISCUSSION.
Which is what I think you were aiming for. Or do you just like to bitch
about what people do and don't do on mailing lists they've been
extremely active on for several years that you haven't made all that
many posts to? If so, I can get you the info to subscribe to a mailing
list that has that sort of flamewar a LOT, you might be happier there.
(And they were talking about Vonnegut this morning, as well....)
