I'd just love to know where they got the name Djam Karet....very obscure
whatsit Indonesian phrase or something? bet they're devout readers of Harlan
Ellison!

I'm a devout Ellison reader and learned that phrase from him;
it means "the hour that stretches," just in case no one on the
group has glossed it yet. Unfortunately the sentence Ellison
used it in isn't quotable in a G-rated newsgroup!

I deeply resent that & I hope hundreds rise in protest! This is not a
G-rated group. This is (for the most part) an adult group. Well, most
respond as adults. Well, many do, anyway.

I seem to recall that a recommendation was made some time back - and
that was the strongest one - for the squeemish to put an "adult
material" note in the subject line.

"G-rated" indeed!
