I really must take offense at your tone Steve, quite reminiscent
of St. Pauli in one of his moods. But you do have a point, I was
being somewhat lazy. While on the subject, I feel there is a
tendency on the list to delete too much of other's messages.
Let's face it, these are all text files, they download rapidly
and if you want to, you can simply page down to the bottom to
get the message. I don't like it when comments are continuously
inserted in the body of a message. If you can't read the other's
message and then formulate a reply in toto, how can one hope to
divine N's philosophy. To insert in the body of another's
message is to follow Goethe's view of a critic who dissects
the living whole into lifeless bits and pieces with dead logic,
the opposite of creative philosophy. Perhaps one is not up to N's
standards but one can at least make one's best effort.
