Hey gts, lest my post be too closely associated with your addendum, I would
like to add the following statements:
I certainly do not "object" to Lee's ideas. On the contrary, I would
encourage them. However I do disagree with at least one of his current
points, and that's what makes it interesting. (I realize you probably
didn't mean "object" in quite that same sense, but I want to be clear about
that.)
One of the reasons I continue to subscribe to the Extropy list is that as I
sift through it I continue to find jewels of thought to add to my growing
collection. Let's encourage differences of opinion, and encourage their
expression in as *rational* and *respectful* a forum as we can manage.
