You can rest assured that I might never involve myself in such threads - I might too, but I think I would know that I am noisy and confine myself to a mirror 'low concentration' thread. I think you would find that noisy people have enough respect for non-noisy people to grant them such distinction without any formal constraints. in fact, from now on - if it is okay with Horse - any (unless...) thread I start will carry this distinction. Since I am noisy I will distinguish noise rather than high concentration. I will do so with 'WT' (when I was in high-school we said that with sort of an affective accent doubleYehhh-Teeee: for 'white-trash'). at least I will see how this goes - with Horse's tolerance of course. respectfully, Tim -- [email protected] -- http://www.fastmail.fm - Faster than the air-speed velocity of an unladen european swallow Moq_Discuss mailing list Listinfo, Unsubscribing etc. http://lists.moqtalk.org/listinfo.cgi/moq_discuss-moqtalk.org Archives: http://lists.moqtalk.org/pipermail/moq_discuss-moqtalk.org/ http://moq.org/md/archives.html
