[Khaled] Arlo So would you say that once you have been told to see the 'green flash' as the sun sets you would tend to notice such nuances in other things too, or do you think that you have to be told about each green flash as it relates to its subject. To put it in another way, if you get trained to appreciate the nuance in one discipline, that training carries over to other disciplines? 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.uk/pipermail/moq_discuss_archive/
