Dear folks,
David Ziegler and I are planning to migrate this mailing list to another service, probably Google Groups, sometime this year. (This is mainly because the mailing list is hosted right now with an employer I left back in 2010 -- they've been generous, and they're not rushing us, but at some point this year there will be a management change there, and we shouldn't assume we'll always have them hosting Winedale-l.)
It would help us if you sent your email contact info (and how you want to be listed by name, etc.) to dzieglersf@gmail.com and mnemonic@gmail.com -- if you want to do it privately or include folks here on the public list, either is fine with me.
For those who may be amused by such things, Godwin's Law gets yet another reference by Paul Krugman of the New York Times this week: http://krugman.blogs.nytimes.com/2014/01/30/godwin-help-us/?smid=tw-NytimesK... . This has to do with venture capitalist Tom Perkins's notion, advanced in the Wall Street Journal over the last weekend, that the United States is persecuting its rich people in the same ways the Nazis persecuted the Jews. (He referenced Kristallnacht specifically.) (No, I couldn't believe it either.) (Perkins is a founder of Kleiner Perkins Caulfield & Byers, which made me think this was just Eine Kleiner Kristallnachtmusik.)
Love to all,
--Mike
