- On 22 Dec J. P. Earls sent a message suggesting that Dorothy Day act as
- a clearing house for "discoveries." I was struck by a random thought (the only
- kind I get) at the end of the message when J. P. wrote "Are you listening,
- Dorothy?" When I was in the signal corps of the Canadian Army, on the radio
- we used to ask "How do you read me?" (I think that radio hams use the same
- jargon.) I find it interesting that when we were telecommunicating in auditory
- mode we talked about "reading." Now here we are sending text and talking
- about listening. Not a criticism. Just a random thought.
-
- This also gave me the excuse to drop a note onto to list and so I might as
- well wish all of you a MErry Christmas and the best for 1993. You are a great
- bunch of people to know (even virtually.)
