Nobody owns it and nobody controls it; it just channels through the pool of
electrons next to the can of paperclips on my desk.
The only "ethic" is to respect other people here and expect that they'll
respect you in return. Don't engage in personal attacks against other
subscribers (to quote Stacy Horn, in her forthcoming "Cyberville," if you
have a disagreement, "attack the ideas and not the person"), and PLEASE
don't post any significant chunk of Salinger text here, because we don't
want lawyers chasing my butt around the block.
Otherwise, grab the microphone and have at it.

make up for anything lacking in your modest posts!
