Me, I think it's a little tough to find a Northwest Passage when you stay 
in the monster free zone.

touche, ricardo.  you've got me agreeing with you again, have to watch that 
;-)  although there is this: the value of your little sister's act (does 
she know she's now nationally famous?) is related to it's 
infrequency.  were it an everyday thing...that's where the netnannies come 
in. with white coats, maybe.

the periodic what's-appropriate-to-the-list discussion reminds me of the 
"canon" debate that seized up university english departments a while 
back.  what books should be on an english lit reading list?  a prof i had 
said something like, "whatever the community feels it is important to 
know", which i thought made sense.  and that "whatever" is mutable, and to 
some extent arbitrary.  but it does involve a collective choice.
