- When the Valery Fabrikant material first hit this group, there was a
- suggestion that he might have sent the material first by e-mail
- to more than just the 42 people on his "B" group--that is, possibly
- to "A," "B," etc. groups as well. Can anyone confirm that he indeed did
- broadcast his material more widely?

- "If we have been accustomed to deplore the spectacle...of a workman occupied
- during his whole life in nothing else but the making of knife-handles or pins'
- heads, we may find something quite as lamentable in the intellectual class, in
- the exclusive employment of a human brain in resolving some equations, or in
- classifying insects. [This] occasions a miserable indifference about the
- general course of human affairs, as long as there are equations to solve and
- pins to manufacture." Auguste Comte
