Hey Paine
Your efforts at resuscitating the NG are commendable.
But it certainly appears the NG is for all practical purpose, DEAD. The
corpse has begun to liquify, and about all one can see anymore is the
swarming mass of maggots feasting on it.
To make supplication to one of those maggots to "do
the right thing" is admirable but pretty naive thinking IMHO. They're
simply doin' what maggots do.

The NG's sun has set in the manner of Ecclesiastes' "a time to live, a
time to die" (though i would love to be proven wrong on this).

I once thought that Jayne Hitchcock was being naive...

....when she tackled the stalkers of the Woodside Literary
Agency. I knew her in misc.writing back before all that
happened. Maybe you're right, Bill. God knows, i have
little time for this, so i'll have to get help. One of my
attorneys specializes in the entertainment industry, and
what is UseNet but a form of entertainment?

As for my appeal to Deco's good sense of right? I laugh
at myself when i look in the mirror. But i figure it is good
that i at least tried.

I look forward to proving you wrong about the future of
alt.astronomy.

happy days and...
starry starry nights!

Are you sleeping?
Stars are waiting,
Shining high they wait for you.

Are you looking?
Stars are soaring,
Flashing, twinkling just for you.

Indelibly yours,
