I actually enjoy the off-topic stuff, particularly the humor.
And I hope we get a photo of the new XyBaby we chose names for when he is
born in a few more weeks. That photo will belong in Carl's autobiography,
"Scaling the Heights of Mt. Xy."
Everybody's got their hot topics and I can't imagine anyone who uses
XyWrite being so seriously wacky I wouldn't want to know what they're
thinking, at least a little bit. I'm a newspaperman and get paid to be
curious.
I'm back to work now and will confine myself to Xy-topics henceforth (maybe).

Jay, thanks for your very funny and kind words. I promise to steer clear of
all off-topics from now on. I am grateful for this list-serve, and actually
agree that keeping it strictly on xy-topics only makes sense, no matter how
passionately we might feel about off-topics that occasionally get
introduced.
