Applause from it happens to be the U.N. Headquarters / NY (Internationally)
venue.
Yesterday some of these, well - related, matters were discussed in mix of
Economic & Social Council / Dept. of Public Info. settings*.

As an individual, I'd say cultural netiquette "standards" are always
interesting to ponder and discuss. One netizen's blather may be another
one's boon.

Eric et al, you will never post too amply for this one reader, but lately I
have been wondering if it could be to your taste to give us links to your
materials otherwise than all instream, though for heavens sakes not asking
for twitter treats or bloggosurfs because too scattered or scattering.
Unless you would want that. Btw, do you have a blog?

The above is my personal view.

Best wishes and *Respectfully Interfacing*,
