The entire idea of mindreading is peculiar. Haven't you ever had a moment when you've wondered if you like somebody? When you realize that such simple separations just don't matter and apply, that you can't even read your own mind in that regard? The idea that everybody must have a solid, readable opinion that must be expressed in certain detectable characteristics, sounds like the wrong way from creativity and intelligence. - Bryan ----- This list is sponsored by AGIRI: http://www.agiri.org/email To unsubscribe or change your options, please go to: http://v2.listbox.com/member/?member_id=8660244&id_secret=79017098-f2b069
