The purpose of this rhetorical question was clearly to point out that Mr. Noring is some how unqualified to speak on the matter

no. again, your problems with inference manifest. the point is that mr. noring should be _embarassed_ to subject michael hart to moderation on an e-book listserve. michael hart pioneered e-books. he should be allowed to speak, to speak freely, and to speak as much as he wants. that's _my_ opinion anyway. and i feel strongly enough about it that i don't care to speak to jon here, thank you. i am not telling you that _you_ can't speak to him here, or that _he_ can't speak here. i'm just saying that i don't care to speak to him, so i will be ignoring any questions that he asks in his posts. but again, if _you_ want the answers to any of his questions, just ask me yourself.

Awe yes.  Please provide me with a link so I can download these revolutionary applications.

well, i've given it numerous times already, but i'm happy to give it to you again, aaron. join the zml_talk listserve at yahoogroups, by sending an e-mail to zml_talk-subscribe@yahoogroups.com and you will find the zml-viewer in the "files" section. banana-cream will be available for download next week. or, if you'd like to see it sooner, just request it backchannel. if you have any more questions, save them for next week. as i've said, it's rude to flood the listserve on the weekend. -bowerbird
