     And there are things that I write, largely for the world of unix
     machines and the usenet... I spent some time attacking Thomas
     Disch and then ... defending him when I realized how silly most
     peoples complaints were about his work.  I've been arguing with
     a standard issue liberal at Stanford here, who calls himself
     Dove (I don't remember if I ever mentioned this to you, but for
     possibly silly reasons, I am called Doom, specifically
     doom@leland.stanford.edu, should you ever come up with internet
     access somehow) about some local issues like the speech codes at
     Stanford intended to prohibit racist attacks.  I've also been
     trying to write on various subjects (really all subjects) in a
     single file (the "doomfile") which is not read-protected (so
     that anyone at Stanford can look at it).  I've been using a
     format that's supposed to be somewhat hypertext-like --
     somewhere between poetry and a flow chart.  I think it's an
     interesting project, though for the amount of work I put into
     it, it would be nice if there was someway of actually publishing
     it so as to make some money off of it... the trouble is that it
     really does need to be in electronic format so you can use
     search commands on it to jump around (and currently, it's set up
     with GNU Emacs in mind as the editor to be used to view it): so
     printouts, paper versions aren't really good enough.  If I ever
     get around to it, I'll down load a version to a 5-1/4 IBM floppy
     and see what you think of it (it's up to arond 300K now).
