To fill in my idle time while waiting for you to determine who has the 
least sensitivity to kittens...and folks who'd like to keep their 
dinners down...I've been writing an HSR.  The building is completely 
boarded up and the report is heavily dependent on the results of my 
photography and some research that went off into some strange 
tangential arenas.

The weakness of Preservation-L is that they think the work benefits 
from staying on topic.  This stuff we preserve are the products of 
people who did not bother to stay on topic.  Now I'm all for limits and 
standards...so long as they apply to those who need them...and 
appreciate them...and sometimes that's me...and sometimes its not.

I'm only intolerant for short periods...I'm not your Mr. Sensitive 
Ponytailed 80's kinda guy...or was that 90's...like I'd give a rodent's 
patute.
