ALAS, my body is slowly changing but very little of the modifications are under my control.

Elsewhere in EMD there is a discussion about whether/how to specify in one's LAST will and testament what should be done with one's on-line assets.

One would hope that our online assets would never be lost.

n5bb · 1 May 2012, 09:11 AM

Ah, but would you wish that your estate keep or LOSE your online liabilities? Would you like someone to get your detailed browsing history, forum posts, emails, and VOIP phone call contents?

David · 3 May 2012, 12:14 AM

You pose some educated questions n5bb

Here is a little POEM on the main subject of this illustrious forum:
Why your email should rhyme (from time to time)

We should reject POMO (postmodern) essays in this forum, especially computer-generated drivel. For some additional comic relief, visit the DADA-generated automated crackpot generator, which produces spam-like fictions. Be sure to reload your browser several times!

In the words of a poor wayfarer.

If your good wine or beer is running low and two are sharing, it's way fairer for one person to POUR it into the glasses and the other to pick their glass.

janusz · 4 May 2012, 08:51 PM

As far as I know there is no similar method to share something equally among FOUR people (there is for three).

David · 5 May 2012, 12:18 AM

Now is the hour of our discontent. We have more than four sharing only one bottle.

YOUR problem was solved in 1995 (Brams-Taylor procedure). This is an algorithm to equitably divide a resource among any number of participants (and it's patented).

David · 5 May 2012, 01:40 PM

My prior area of concern was to do with the fact, that if you pour out a bottle of wine (to four or more people) you do not get very much wine (period)

janusz · 6 May 2012, 03:34 AM

I will not POUT though the word "pour" was used twice in quick succession on this page (influence of too much - not too little - wine?

)

David · 6 May 2012, 03:51 AM

My apologies janusz! Yes, I will try to lay off the port.
