Thanks for clarifying your intent!
Ronn! does have the habit of posting bare stuff. He has occasionally
been my first source of information on things. (If I had read brin-l
that morning *before* anything else, it would have been, in that case.)
Then other people respond, or not.
And then Ronn! posts a wonderfully snarky response to whatever. I think
his snark is well worth the wait, personally. :)
