From: PADLIPSKY@USC-ISI.ARPA I thought of a new Slogan yesterday that might be of some use to some readers of this list in some contexts: It's really dumb to pay full price For a partially filled bottle of snake oil (Has anybody out there come across a French expression something like "l'esprit d'escalier"? I think it's literally "the wit of the staircase" and is used for situations where you think of a nifty line belatedly....) cheers, map -------

From: cperry@mitre (Chris Perry) someone in w-74 posted the second page of a recent iso draft std. on naming and addressing; said page contained a lengthy quote from dr. seuss. the quote in effect paraphrased something from "through the looking glass" my beginning fortran teacher used on me 17 years ago. plus ca change... but dr. seuss??? jcp
