Thanks for your post, Bob. I am in agreement with you, and I worry that any
productive discussion we might try to have will be sidetracked by the
"flame wars" -- which, as Jane and Susan have noted, is exactly what seems
to happen out there in the "real world" (if I read you right) when wars get
going.
How can we learn from this? Can we devise some sort of formula or
technique that will help us ignore the egocentric posts and cut through to
the real issues, to sift the wheat from the chaff (to paraphrase an old
Arabian proverb)? Has anyone out there studied problem resolution or any
of the other progressive methods by which we might get a handle on this.
If we can't do it, who can?
Sending you all good thoughts, --E.
