Willard the Wizard and Lynda the Wonder Worker and all my friends in
and through Humanist, the ultra alpha
seminroar:

Have you seen the capabilities of ELM? Very accessible now that
i-Apples run on Linux.

Headers guide the user through a tour of duty entering metadata (ammo
for the librarians).

Just like recycling: sort at source.

Are we not a combo of pack rat and file clerk, we scholars at larger
or entrapped?
