	Barry commented that emals would soon be so smart that us hard copy
people would not be able to communicate at all.  I suspect that we will have
a situation similar to Ray Bradbury's "There Shall Come Soft Rains" in which
humans have left Earth and the emails keep things running without us.
	Keith dislikes multiple responses to emails which "layer" quotes
several deep.  Having the quotes enables you to verify what was said
originally.  I've run into a lot of cases where digests of comments leave
important information out.
	And, I enjoyed Cathy's description of me from the First Friday in
February meeting.  Lee, Popper of Eyes and Crusher of Cans
