then explain why bill has been happier since he instituted such a thing,
cleaned his room since he instituted this whole thing, and spent more
extra special quality time with me since he instituted this thing.

'ultimately's' dont much matter to us. if ultimately a website and a few
mailing lists intrude upon my life, then ultimately the entire machine
will be shut down (by me).

the policy will work just fine for the temporary (4 months?) time it has
been given to exist. beyond that, i assume things will go back to the way
they were before. in the meantime, that 3 hours is being used much more
creatively than seeing my husband bent over a keyboard like a line-worker
pushing 'd' every fifteen seconds for 3 hours a night.
