OK, Marsha, Dan, Horse, Dan, yep, I saw your tactic. (Thank MoQ for Dan and Magnus btw)
Marsha, of course "why a metaphysics" is a valid question (the first one I ever asked a sceptical question about on MD as I recall), but it's not a very constructive one to insert into an existing thread on another smaller topic, within a metaphysics discussion group - Dan led you anyway - All topics are interconnected, that's not news is it; it's always possible to widen the metaphysical questions ? And no, you you don't have to answer every question in every post, many are rhetorical, and it's a great game (*) - a contact sport DMB called it - to work out which questions are "worth" answering, and "how". And be seen to take that care (an accusation levelled at me too BTW). A frustrated Horse - called Marsha an airhead. Marsha, think about proving him wrong, or if you prefer, not reinforcing his erroneous impression ... Ian (*) PS and because it is a game, a contact sport, refereeing / moderation is essential.
