*Sung, all,
Your post implies that we should emulate Peirce to a T but we can't
emulate Peirce to a T because we aren't Peirce. PEIRCE-L is for
Peirce-related discussion. Peirce himself was not focused on
'Peirce-related' discussion. Instead those who carry on prolonged,
multi-post discussions of a given topic should clarify and thematize the
topic's relation to Peirce because that is what is promised to
subscribers and that is what most subscribers expect.
That has been and will continue to be the policy of peirce-l.
Best, Ben Udell as co-manager, peirce-l.*

Bev, Gary, lists,
I agree with Bev, because Peirce's whole career was devoted to the
study of signs and "Peirce-related" is thus "sign-related", it seems
to me. Besides, as I learned it from Peirce, we THINK, WRITE, and
SPEAK in SIGNS, and hence whatever we post on these lists should be
regarded as Peirce-related in one way or another, including linguistic
texts, chemical equations, mathematical formulas, network diagrams,
pictures, and whatever else that may emerge in the future as NEW means
of communication and representation through the Internet.
In other words, for me, semiotics is not yet closed. Its future
should not be confined to studying MACRO-SEMIOTICS as constructed by
Poinsot, Peirce, and others but should be open to studying both
MICRO-SEMIOTICS as currently being developed in biosemiotics (.e.g.,
DNA as a molecular sign) and what may be called 'COSMO-SEMIOTICS' as
may be developed in the future (e.g., viewing spiral galaxies as
cosmological signs). Imagine what fantastic syntheses in philosophy
Pierce's genius might be accomplishing now were he alive today !
All the best.

I enjoy all of the discussions and would prefer more broad than
restrictive frameworks. I consider restricting discussions as more
technocratic tactic / approach and not Perice related in style.
