Mine too, I apologize for the multiplication of names this week/today. In
the search for words that are specific enough to describe vague ideas I
keep trying on new words. As the concepts behind the ideas take a more
solid form the words have been changed around to try and reflect that. In
the last few messages I have tried to start using a description of the
concepts instead, before my head explodes.

It's Ok, agora was a new word for me too, if I had a clue and had looked
it up when you first mentioned it the concepts we were discussing this
week/last week would have been very clear earlier. The exact words used to
name stuff aren't terribly important to me, the concepts are though :).
