Bill (another one) - says that the market is working. not at all. and it has
nothing to do with embarrassment. i think it is just that a few people who take
the time to keep the list discussion going are pissed off because this
mysterious majority are alleged to be pissed off.

its about moral incentives not material ones. if our time is not respected and
faces restrictions or the threat of the same (down the line) then what is the
point.

kind regards
bill (the other one)
