[gutvol-d] what was all that noise about?

we just had the two _heaviest_ months _ever_ in the amount of text posted to this listserve. yet i can't recall that i learned a single thing. of course, i do have a lot of people kill-filed. (and every one of them _earned_ that honor!) i might've missed something for that reason? so if _you_ learned anything, please reiterate. you can summarize, or just point me to posts. otherwise, i'll have to assume that there was absolutely no signal inside of all that noise... -bowerbird
