You were *NOT* a member of the NCSU LUG. You subscribed to the mailing

1997. It's certainly does NOT "regularly degenerate" into "name calling
and partison politics". It's rather tame actually, and if you do or say
something stupid, expect it to be kindly pointed out to you.

I have copies of the DSM 3 and 4 here. If saying that about
