The decisions have been made: There are two lists- PIE and SPARKLE. I wrote the following fairly 'robust' note a couple of days ago, and then held it hoping I would not have to send it It's happening all over again - the one or two originaL and genuinely talented humourous writers are coming up for air, now that the dust has settled, and no doubt they will as usual be followed by the swarm of sycophantic 'me-too' followers who think they also have the talent. Could it be that they failed to read the news? WAKE UP you NON-PD writers. I am not criticising your work, because I have never read it. All you have to do is transfer your output to SPARKLE. For those like Darwin (see above), if you want both comics and medical updates, join both lists: I don't see why it should be the cause of more work, except for your computer. -- Brian Collins <[log in to unmask]>
