Reminds me of the LSTOWN-L subscribers who send nice little notes
because they've forgotten how to sign off our list. Makes me want
to laugh and cry at the same time.
Now for a *real* question (so I don't just clutter up everyone's
Sunday night mailbox): I have a friend (and co-listowner) who insists
on referring to our list as "this listserv." This bothers and I
vaguely recall this being mentioned here recently (I meant to write
"this bothers me"). Does anyone have a good, linguistically sound
reason for discouraging this habit? It makes about as much sense
to me as saying "this WordPerfect" when speaking about a document
produced on WP. Am I being overly sensitive?
Thanks, Ingrid Shafer
