I heartily second Bob's words. My own postings about seeking a way to
set a resource to provide more maternal care than what is extant
today have been ignored, as if I was talking on a topic alien to
CHOMSKY list. Bob is right, what's the use of chatting about
anarchosyndicalism and propose nothing to set into action? Nil.
