If one of our old members, Pat, was here, he'd be straight into his favourite 'string theory' from physics on mention of spaghetti. It' still a sortable or at least eatable mess in my view. I can't think of consciousness these days without some kind of spaghetti-like web - yet we don't seem to have control over the processes that matter, other than in the hands of people and seeming inevitability we don't want. Dogs now on their marks, so must go. Good to see you here.
