<p class="MsoNormal"><font face="Arial" size="3"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial;">Some little while back, one of our number (John Engle?) said
something about Sages here on the list. It is doubtless true that
some of us have been around longer than others (perhaps too long? </span></font><font face="Wingdings"><span style="font-family: Wingdings;">J</span></font><font face="Arial"><span style="font-family: Arial;">). But what is even more true, is
that we are all on the edges of our respective learning curves. </span></font></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><font face="Arial" size="3"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial;">Over the past several days, </span></font><font face="Arial"><span style="font-family: Arial;">OSLIST</span></font><font face="Arial"><span style="font-family: Arial;"> seems to have exploded in some interesting
directions. I must to admit that I am having a great deal of fun learning
but I can also imagine that the volume of traffic may be a little overwhelming,
and that some of the language may be a little obscure. It is a fact of
community life that jargon develops we all take short cuts, assuming
that everybody understands what we are talking about. It may also be assumed
that we (or more specifically I) know what we are talking about. That can be a
very shaky assumption! So I beg you when something seems questionable
Question it! We will all learn.</span></font></p>
