[A6] RE: Neuron (ot)

[unknown freak]

Well, you know, sometimes people are keeping the mailing list balloon
aloft at work during the day, then go home to their overphotographed

email shows their unstoppable obsession with the instruments in their
studios rather than some putative state of their all being a bunch of
intolerable jerkoffs without a creative bone in their bodies.
