- BS. Nothing in what Peter was talking about is related to the Prep-H
- project -- except perhaps that lists like WORDS-L provide interesting data.
- I'm also interested in those questions, Peter. I think it's a bit extreme
- to predict the demise of formal documents, though. Lawyers, e.g., will no
- doubt remain formal. And even some e-mailers are now and will probably
- continue to be careful and formal. The careful and formal e-mailers don't
- last long on WORDS-L, of course, since by the time they finish cogitating
- and carefully composing, the thread of discussion is long gone.
-
- Speaking of Prep-H, is anything still going on? I unsubbed from the "secret
- list" many moons ago and from CMC a while later.
