Recently, I wrote another B-P subscriber:

"....but I feel very keenly that it's better to try to keep on track with more restoration-type items.  Less is more.  So I (like Michael Davidson, whose contributions I deeply admire) try to stay on topic.  One thing we don't want to be, I feel, is an in-group of two dozen people who happen to  know each other and pass lots of personal jokes around. "

To which he responded:       "I couldn't agree more about the one liners."

Best to all,  Christopher Gray
