Eric Nye has pointed out to me that Humanist 3.464 through 3.467 are
missing from Humanist's logbooks. I presume that no one received these
numbers. In any case I am at a loss to explain the problem and apologize
for any contributions that may thus have disappeared into the void.

Re "Notes and Queries" - that is an *excellent* idea, an ideal
compromise. Losing the asides, even in reference to meeting "girls",
would end up in a very dry HUMANIST....

I find Humanist most useful when it doesn't spend its time
discussing whether Humanist is useful.

Subject: Notes and Queries

Your suggested procedure for humanists' non-computing
notes and queries certainly seems to put non-techies in their
place. Why not do the same for the techies and create a single
file for technical notes and queries which are beyond the interest
of the non-expert and non-programmer? It might be called "Technical
Notes and Queries" while the other might be called "Humanities
Notes and Queries." That way some of us with time or desire to
sort through all the Technical queries might also delete them
easily and devote our precious time to just what we prefer at the
moment.
