     Still very nonprofit, but it's not totally a zero-sum operation... I 
can remove the section that pushes an Amazon.com book if that would make 
the bulletin any more acceptible to others on the list.

     I'll have to recuse myself from voting on this issue.

     Maybe combine the stories into a digest and stop including links 
that were news a week ago. Not that I'm much better, but at least some of 
my links have commentary with them.

  "Instead of worrying about whether or not the government will stop
   Microsoft from innovating in the future, the head honchos in Redmond
   ought to spend some energy trying to figure out what force has
   prevented them from innovating over the past decade."
