Hi Amara,
I hope that we can rebuild our mutual respect by and
by. I know for a fact that you are very intelligent
and kindly, ...and so I know of no reason why not.
I'm sorry to hear about your RSI, and hope you find
a way to avoid most of the pain.
We may continue to disagree about the propriety of
my questions, and I'll resolve not to ask you any.

I think that you speak for several people, who also
for one reason or another are not interested in
having their views or their (URLs) criticized.
But I have no idea for any solution to this; because
the *main* purpose for many of us *is* to issue
hypotheses and engage in criticism (of the constructive
kind, of course, as anyone familiar with Pan Critical
Rationalism knows---I speak for the benefit of newbies
here).

Yes, but I didn't know when I wrote that you were
so reluctant to discuss it. Sorry about that.
Also sorry to hear that you're off-list now (I
guess). If you need to reply off-line, then I'll
give you the last word.
Lee
