Knews Reader FAQ

What does knewsletter mean? K?
What's in it? Why should I read it? What are you selling? What is
alphabet zoupe? Who cares? Etc.

Alphabet Zoupe indicates that we sustain ourselves with our language.
When we need to change our mind we just stir the soup and come up
with a new spoonful of noodles.
By Knews with a 'K', I mean that we know more than we give ourselves
credit for. Generally we act surprised over the myriad ways the human
condition expresses itself. Then of course we need to take a stance,
have a judgement, find an enemy, gather allies, gossip, & bomb.

What's in here is satirical, fake or hopefully funny advertisements.
New words, books read, but not reviewed. Websites. Thought provoking
curiosities, recipes & culinary discoveries, songs, poems, an
occasional political rant or ramble. Software bits. Rare
prescriptions from Dr. Dave, Doctor of Neology. And quotations edited
by another alter-ego: Verandananda, Swami of the Front Porch Swing.


I am not selling anything here. I do happily accept donations for
postage. I do survey the list from time to time to see if you want to
continue reading it.


____________________________________________________

I found this piece in the notes from a couple issues ago. Seems
pertinent. The survey refers to the printed issues that have been
available over the last 20 years.

We might be nearing the end of the printed issues. Not primarily
because of the cost of print and postage but because my curiosity
brings me to examine and question the value of opinions. I have
thought that what I know that I know is actually a surprisingly small
amount. I'll be back to fix this thought.
