- The week before Christmas, and the Niteman sends season's greetings to the
- list. abh gets a head start on year-end summations by issuing a call for
- Words-L Best/Worst of 1992. Carolyn's Trivial Pursuit game progresses
- through seven plays. JMW finds himself at the frontier of issues of
- personal/professional electronic privacy. Torkel challenges the list with
- Cajun and Swedish dialectical English. There is an animated discussion of
- operating systems and user interfaces. Adam Hartfield, the List Honey
- (or, if you prefer, the more dignified List Historian) checks in from a
- guest account in New Jersey. Karen and Natalie both receive official-
- looking letters from the Treasurer of Publishers Clearing House Sweepstakes
- and begin to talk about bankrolling the List Cruise. A disquisition on
- square corners and round objects in refrigerators is mere prelude to a
- Sunday ho-ho-ho event at Natalie's house. (Mama Primate is in attendance.)
