hey dave, you is spot on bruv. bob's work, the moq, is an elegant creation. i use it reflexively, automatically - it is a part of my analytic being now. it fits with all the other concepts that i have found useful. when it is misrepresented on this list, you, more than anyone, point out why and steer things back on course. and this is vitally important. so it looks like you will be busy for a while yet as i guess this is perhaps the central function of this list.... a sort of intellectual vigil...a constant watch so that the thread doesn't deviate too far from the MOQ proper. at least you have some good help in this endeavour! arlo, dan, andre, marsha, to name a few. i guess the frustrating thing is the continual rehashing: a false position is slain only for it to rise zombie-style later on.....and on and on. all zombies must die.
kudos zombie slayers! may the force be well and truly with youse all. over and out obi wan pastrami --- On Wed, 10/6/09, david buchanan <[email protected]> wrote: > From: david buchanan <[email protected]> > Subject: Re: [MD] Reductionism > To: [email protected] > Received: Wednesday, 10 June, 2009, 9:00 AM > > Thanks, Gav.
