: Re: RA and proposed graphics protocol addition:
: To the best of my knowledge - nothing has come of RA and any decision
: to use Robo's graphics. I hope however, that something does, as it would
: be a long nail in the coffin of ETGC and probably NAPLPS.
: My understanding was that SBBS is going to incorporate ETGC II. I assume
: d that RA was therefore also going that route. This may be wrong.
: I will write Seth and ask him about Robo and RA.

... which, taken together, prompts me to write the following:

Gentleman:
If you insist on carrying on this thread (Re: RA and proposed graphics
protocol addition), please change the subject line. I don't want to answer
{Guis, XEROX APPLE etc..} mail (sic) that isn't {Guis, XEROX APPLE etc..}
mail (sic) ok?

[  Why (sic)?  Because this ain't mail, this is news. Or is that news to
   you?  Heh. :-}  ]
