I see the discussions that follow.. and I like some of the features of gravity like what Chris said.. they are very neat.. now
My problem with Gravity is following conversations I find it extremely difficult.. in other words trying to put it simple I am lost 85% of the time. On Me I can quickly look up a back topic and I am presented with what I have "*not*" read and I can quickly scan them. I think gravity is very rich in people and there are some fascinating people there well i am getting older and change is not as easy..
