One observation that I have made about this latest go-round on the 
mailing list is that Slim has _not_ participated.  Whether she has 
elsewhere I don't know.  It all suggests to me that the topic has taken 
on a life of its own, and she would be just as happy to see her name 
disappear from the discussion.  I suspect too that she has learned the 
lesson of not feeding trolls, whether or not the participants really are 
trolls.
