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. -- glen e. p. ropella, 971-219-3846, http://tempusdictum.com ============================================================ FRIAM Applied Complexity Group listserv Meets Fridays 9a-11:30 at cafe at St. John's College lectures, archives, unsubscribe, maps at http://www.friam.org
