Sorry, many of us have to live under budgetary constraints of time and health and energy (not to mention money), and we'll need just a bit more advance notice if we're to schedule our vacations and/or manic periods to coincide with your current productive period. :) 'Course, if you happen to know any billionaires who want to drop a wad on our sorry society, I'm sure we can all figure out a few ways to use money as a proxy for other forms of happiness... Personally, my brain is rather occupied with a Hard Problem at my $dayjob, not to mention thinking about Longest Token Matching and Taxes and Family and Church, and all the Speeches I'll have to give in the coming few months if the Doctors don't lock me up Somewhere Safe... In general, however, I do eventually get around to thinking about topics raised on this mailing list. But I do not have an ADHD brain, and switching topics is a high-overhead activity for me, so I prefer to think about things when I have enough time to think about them thorougly. Long treatises particularly take a while to digest, so to the extent that you have been splitting things up into separate topics, I appreciate it greatly. It also helps me keep track of which bits I've responded to and which I haven't yet. I admit that I also like to sit back and let other people pick the low fruit so I don't have to spend time doing it. Over the short term, sometimes what I do looks an awful lot like doing nothing... :) Larry
