Oh, Yes. 

There are clearly those amongst us who are elite intellectual types... but 
one doesn't need to judge others, and then "shove it" in people's faces by 
insulting "the little people" (my quote) on the list that are participating 
in what one so arrogantly labeled as frivolous "puppet talk." 

Lighten Up!

I must now get back to my studies on Camus and Existentialism.

Sincerely,
PUPPETHEAD

Is it time to change the name of this list to "puppet talk?" How
about, "puppet tech?"

Bonny and Jamie, thank you for giving me a lot to think about in the
work I see and the work I make.
