Nope, didn't know that...didn't know that I was a highly enlightened A2
guru either.  I do now realize that he didn't say that he had them all,
I've just lost track of a few things trying to recover from going without
power for 3 3/4 days.  I've had a lot of stuff I've been trying to catch
up on reading and only glanced over some things.

Yep, fine.

Don't care too much either way.  It's just gotten to be a bit boring.

What does concern me about what Rubywand did say:

If Rubywand could get all the Computist issues, would he make them
publicly available, or would he have a different standard for that than
he does for software.  That's how he's been coming across, that he needs
permission to put the Computist stuff out, when he doesn't seem to care
about programmers and their programs.
