    Re: Principles and Being Practical

    Peter-
     
     I confess that I don't keep or scrutinize everything. Thus list is 
    recreational reading (intelluctual curiousity only) for me and when a subject 
    gets complex, obtuse, or simply into an area I don't have any concern with, I 
    skip over it. Practicing my math is something I also don't do unless I'm 
    bright and cheery eyed. I'm not licensed to practice math in most states and 
    certainly not in Oz.
    
     But looking at my deleted files, the only one I still find from you re 
    Silicon Sea 88 was one dated August 13th 16:00+10 and that one simply was a 
    posting of the Silicon Sea questions plus answers. I didn't see any cover 
    note, any query, anything at all besides a posting of a post.
    
     I know some folks have their email software set up to quote any message they 
    are responding to, and I often see a "quote of a quote" with nothing else on 
    a mailing list. I presume when that happens--when the entire message body is 
    shown as a quote of another message, with no extra original content--that the 
    sender has accidentally hit a SEND key, and I delete the message without 
    further study.
    
     If that's the message you are speaking of, perhaps everyone ignored it 
    because it was just a Q&A, with no question put forward attached to it?
