I think I interpret that clause accurately and can offer, in the "cool lima
bean" tradition, a single, unadorned, uneditorial fact: In the last five
days we've had over a dozen subscribers leave the list, even some who have
been longtime subscribers. I will leave the analysis to minds that are
more analytical than mine, but it's a trend that makes me feel regretful.
In an unrelated note, I have a post on paper, written on the subway in the
last couple of days, that I want to send -- just as soon as I can decipher
my handwriting. (I have good handwriting, but the trains, oh, the trains,
they shake as well as any kitchen appliance that is designed to shake.)
