[Air-l] The Master Plan

[Caroline Haythornthwaite]

Very clever James, so clever that it may lead to anyone with an interest in 
Internet Research going to another list where they may actually hear about 
something other than adulation of a troll.

Congratulations James, you've managed to elicit a useless email to waste yet 
more time for the list -- and I mean my email here.

I've retained non-filtering of this list as I'm on the AoIR executive this year. I find 
it very sad that this list is no longer a real AoIR resource. Talk about tragedy of 
the commons.
