Richard, I'm sorry but I don't agree with you that silence implies agreement. Heck, a person could be unresponsive to a post simply because they haven't read it! Or maybe it hasn't even arrived in their inbox! Also, if I've been away from the computer for some time, I can have as many as 90 emails when I return. There's no way I'm gonna read every post much less reply to them. Last but not least, I've come to realize that nobody is gonna be changing the opinions of anybody else on FFL. So I post for other reasons. > On 9/29/2014 9:27 AM, salyavin808 wrote: Hmm, I assumed he was making a point about the letter from JH, the bit about "consent" gave it away - maybe I was wrong. In which case they are both wrong or right, it depends on the individual, but Willy likes to assume people are in agreement with him so he naturally projects that as the reason they don't respond. > Actually "Willy" assumes that some people don't respond because they are nodding off after smoking a pipe late at night. It was Judy that first posted that in an online conversation silence usually indicates agreement - where she is from. > On Monday, September 29, 2014 7:36 AM, "dhamiltony2k5@...

Silence should no longer mean agreement here and that Henceforth and Forever more in the discussions on FF, thatsilence or a lack of resistance do not in fact constitute consent. What do you feel about this? Jai Guru Dev, -Buck in the Dome
