I was in no way attempting to insinuate any relationship between the two items discussed in my email. That was the purpose of the --- I stuck in there. Just trying to mention something on the list which I didn't deem worthy of its own message. And, with a fair amount of patience and a stable connection, you don't even have to be 'there' on IRC to iteract. I routinely spread IRC conversations out over a matter of hours or days. You just have to get rid of the mindset that IRC is something requiring immediate attention and interaction. (You also have to have a large scrollback buffer in your client, but thats easy enough to arrange for.) If I (Taliesin) am on #lojban, then I'll see anything directed at me sooner or later, and if you're still connected, I'll respond, and happily continue in such a fashion ad infinitum.
