   Well, that's actually what I'd guessed "recto" to mean, but then Google   
   said "Pain in the nominative case you are. Go elsewhere."  Made me think

   One holds faint hope for a better day on Usenet...  I still follow ten   
   or so newsgroups, some of which do have lively discussion, but the   
   signal-to-noise ratio is pretty bad.
