It does indeed seem like an odd world in which we live.

 [The reason I returned this to Karl was that his post, i.e., what he
 wrote, didn't explicitly address any musical issues.  I get posts such
 as this occasionally, and typically don't distribute them.  At least
 one line of reasoning goes: if the poster doesn't find the web link
 interesting enough to comment on it, then there's no sense in forwarding
 to others.  But the basic rule for all posts to the list is: if what
 you write isn't about music, it's in extreme danger of not being
 accepted.  -Dave]
