**** ETNI on the web http://www.etni.org.il http://www.etni.org **** Dear Sub Scribers, Not a dagos buy without someone asking me how come i don't have funny letters on the Etni list or in my column any more. The answer is, in a word, Sabbatical. I am so busy not teaching that I have no time to write. I came back from 2 Science fiction conventions and a trip to Canada, so I wrote my Star Trek/ Jewish Federation 8 page epic, which I never finished, and which you can get by dropping me a line or convincing David Lloyd to put up in the column. Aside from that, I still open my E mail Inbox every day religiously. I have to use a Fleishig knife cause of all the Spam. I wonder if they call Spam 'loof' in Hebrew -- Any of you who used to do Miluim can understand why. Actually, most of my spam is from mail promoting sexual enhancement drugs. In addition, I receive,lehavdil elleff havdalloss, rabbinic sermons about the portion of the week, but they get buried under the junk mail. This week, for example, I can't see the Va-Era for the ViAgra. Keep smiling, Barry ##### To send a message to the ETNI list email: etni@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ##### ##### Send queries and questions to: ask@xxxxxxxx #####
