You see, Mike (Geary), why I care?
Because he is minimising me -- terribly.
I mean, "I MUST admit". Surely he doesn't HAVE to admit. In fact he must
not.
If he could he could write META: proper header.

Ditto, must say for Calley. Because she implies that because I started
speaking
about Wittgenstein or Heidegger -- "God knows anymore" I think she adds,
there was no development on the rather parochial thing that R. Paul thought
worth sharing about Scaglia.
"God knows anymore". I know perfectly what I sent. And all my posts are
there online for everybody to see.
-- I expect that these issues are dealt with under META, because I really
want
to discuss philosophy (for the time being).
So ad hominems, bad taste, etc -- the guidelines say: write to the
moderator, don't reply to the list --. But using "META" seems justified
because
you cannot let these insults
continue.
Everybody should be free to post what she or he likes and expect to
develop a thread.
It's not easy. I myself find threads some of them boring, why I keep
changing the header.
But some of you seem to be happy with keeping a thread like for 500
e-mails when the
title no longer 'describes' the content or is utterly underedescriptive,
"As I was talking...", etc.

Consider Ritchie: he is a gentleman. I once wrote about the Bulwer Lytton
thing -- nobody commented and I did not care-- I'M NOT IN NEED of feedback
loop, really.
But weeks later, he did acknowledge the post.
So, you see -- it fulfilled the goal: it was shared with the list, and he
is polite enough to
acknowledge the source.
I don't write stupidities or just humour. If you read my posts (I'm not
ordering) you'll see arguments, quotations, interpretations, attempts at
referring to other lister's ideas, etc. -- indeed: the ideal poster, almost --
after God.
