Allright.  I said I'd shut up; but you asked a direct question. [grin]

As Marcus points out, "thread" is not really a good word for what 
happens on a healthy mailing list.  It's more like a stretched out clump 
of cotton than any kind of thread or noodle.  When the scale is coarse, 
you can see the cotton as a clump.  When the scale is fine, you see all 
these fibers running hither and to.

So, kindasortamaybe, yes, the summary covers some of the Mentalism and 
Calculus posts.  But, mostly, no, the summary doesn't cover those posts 
because those were largely about "category error" and cross-polination 
between lexicons, whereas the Mathematics and XYZ clump was about how 
math is or isn't distinct as a human effort.

Then again, that's just my long-winded opinion.
