As I read the various threads, I am struck by one thing - the written word,
english, human language is very hard pressed to convey sufficiently accurate
and precise meanings. It's as though the "computer" is barred by the
imprecision of its own language. Its like seeing the OZ of language hiding
behind the curtain and he's having a devil of a time keeping up with you
guys...
Many of the conversations go thru an evolution of : an idea, assertion, or
announcement, followed by simple interesting reactions/coments, followed by
secondary reaction/beliefs, followed by rebuttal, then semi-personal attacks
then fracturing of the subject, then attenuation of interest. Very much like
convection currents rising and falling.
