  This propensity to pounce on the "inappropriate" and "disruptive"
driven by group arrogance, can indeed, be brought into creative
perspective through the challenge of assumptions that compel better and
richer integrations.  It is precisely this kind of "friction" that
offers the best way out of the drive to the black hole that contemporary
orthodoxies offer. 

  The last telecomreg list I joined, did not measure up to that
standard, some people may remember.  Out of that conference came the
disastrous telecom bill that may take a lifetime to overcome. 
Hopefully, the new list will not make that same error.
