John, List: One correction, the author quoted below and in the attachment is Matthew E. Moore, not Edward C. Moore. There are two slightly different versions of his paper, "Is Synechism Necessary?" The one presented in 2012 is here <https://www.pucsp.br/pragmatismo/dowloads/lectures_papers/mattew-moore-paper.pdf>, and the one published in a 2013 issue of *Cognitio *is here <https://ken.pucsp.br/cognitiofilosofia/article/download/16603/12457>. We discussed it on the List last summer, in a thread that begins here <https://list.iupui.edu/sympa/arc/peirce-l/2019-08/msg00029.html>, which Gary R. eventually commended <https://list.iupui.edu/sympa/arc/peirce-l/2019-08/msg00052.html> as "an example of the best--i.e., most productive--kind of exchange that can occur on peirce-l." Hopefully we can restore and maintain that level of respectful and substantive discourse going forward.
