Subject: A New Topic Erupts on HUMANIST
A grammoteer recently raised the topic of love and BITNET (although,
one might assume, this epistolectron would extend his amity toward other
networks). Is not the cementing of romantic relationships the ultimate
Humanistization of computation? My wife and I often use BITNET for
communication, often from adjacent terminals. Is this a common
phenomenon in the HUMANIST community? We shall be able to bypass all
bawdy (and spare Willard wear on his censor's finger)--as
the laptop gradually gives way to the palmtop.

From: Jim O'Donnell (Classics, Penn)
At least I'm pretty sure Jim Halporn won't object if I raise a complaint about
such forms as `grammocentric' and `grammotist' cropping up on HUMANIST. I
don't mind the hybrid compounds, but would prefer to see an alpha in the
middle, as `grammacentric', `grammatist', usw.: from Gk. gramma, grammatos.
