Re: The Grammar and Spelling list--formerly Phys-L

["Bernard G. Cleyet & Nancy Ann Seese" <georgeann@REDSHIFT.COM>]

I suggest a physical model.  A submission to the list is like
an impulse to a resonant circuit; a high Q subject will result in,
say, five to ten responses. a low one only a few.  For those of very
great interest, it will have an attached amplifier with positive feed-back;
submitters will reply again and again.  So, I conclude; it's self
limiting -- if one doesn't like the topic, delete w/o reading.  This
topic was right on (pun intended) in frequency and the response
enjoyable.

There are a whole lot of things that can be argued as pertinent to physics

PCs.  Do we really want to use this list to get into all of that?  If the
majority say 'yea' then I won't argue--too much.  ;-)
