Nope, Dougie,
I certainly don't know about anyone else thinks on thought. I thought about
it, but I don't think I do. :)

going to limit our discussion to what a thought is, rather than going round
about it or looking at it (thought) through smoke and mirrors...I hope you
don't mind if I ask you to develop that area later on...After all, how can one
share a thought, if one doesn't know what a thought is...
In your definition of what you think a thought is...you have used the
scientific physiological view...An electrical impulse in the brain, the firing
of a neuron, a spark, which produces chemical changes...which leads to the
production of a thought. That is a very good analysis...but does it really
describe...a thought...is that all that a thought is? I would have thought
that a thought is about a little more than that..And I hope you don't mind if I
ask any of our other colleagues on this list if they have any thoughts, or at
least a thought on this matter... :-)
