[Imc-web] Just Wondering

[Sascha Meinrath]

i made it a feature after being asked by the author to do so.  given the 
recent spate of controvery locally (at IMC, WEFT, etc.), i thought it 
might interest folks.  i agree, it isn't a very involved piece, so if 
folks want to bump it back to the newswire, i won't raise a fuss -- but i 
would like to wait at least a little while to see if it's an announcement 
that folks might respond to.
