| 638.1 | This is not a Grand Canal note. | ISOISA::HAKKARAINEN | Meanwhile, in the very same scene | Mon Dec 07 1992 12:31 | 9 |
| I've never written a Grand Canal note. I've never even been there. What
I have been is delighted by the running jokes. I've found the writers
of GC/Sarnia/etc. notes to be clever writers who bring a laugh to these
very grim times.
Fill not, therfore, the Grand Canal with the concrete of
humo(u)rlessness.

| 638.2 | People would rather argue than laugh... | POLAR::RICHARDSON | Sick in a balanced sort of way | Mon Dec 07 1992 12:40 | 8 |
| re -.1
Nice to see someone who has a sense of humour and can laugh at
at an "inside joke" he doesn't understand.
It would seem to me that these grim times have produced grim noters.
Sigh.

| Let me put a little balance into this ... there is a Grand Canal
note ... feel free to use it ... There is a Sarnia note ... and
it has become a not so serious note ... feel free to use it ...
I did not intend that these notes should not carry on in the same
spirit ...
BUT
I do not believe that virtually every serious discussion should become
polluted with the inanities of the Grand Canal.
A lot of people do become perturbed when asking for serious information
and get off the wall responses ... especially when they may not realize
that they ARE meant as off the wall.
Also, it is not intended that notes other than those examples should
not contain humour ... heaven forbid ... but please NO on-going and
in-jokes.
It's not that grim times produce grim noters ... It's that sometimes
a joke gets worn a little too thin when interjected as often as the
Grand Canal. I enjoy humour and have been known to interject a GC
jibe myself ... but there comes a limit.
If you want to add GC jibes, then put them in the GC note ... those
who read notes by Next Unseen will find it anyway. Those who don't
like GC notes then are at liberty to skip over it.
