Hullo,
 Athens voted to give Socrates a farewell toast; it wasn't particularly
useful to anyone involved. brucee might've been acerbic, but you risk having
your statements answered acerbically on teh interwebs & off. I, for one,
enjoy reading almost 100% of what's posted to 9fans, and of the few times
that I have written brucee, all have been met with the same courteous, if
terse, style. I'd hate to lose anyone who posts to 9fans, not the least of
whom would be Erik nor brucee.
Cheers,
 -- LS

famine. All things change. Air penetrates the lump of myrrh, until the
joining bodies die and rise again in smoke called incense."

   "Men do not know how that which is drawn in different directions
harmonises with itself. The harmonious structure of the world depends upon
opposite tension like that of the bow and the lyre."

   "This universe, which is the same for all, has not been made by any god
or man, but it always has been, is, and will be an ever-living fire,
kindling itself by regular measures and going out by regular measures"
