Hi, everybody .
I am trying to decide whether to be embarrassed about this turn of events
or not. The words expressed something that I had been wanting to say for
about 48 hours, but had been unable to find words for. I think I would have

Would you say the same for Gadaffi's grandchildren too ?

I started thinking about writing a toy model after this article was
referenced in another forum:

No, of course not Sarbajit. The death of children is just one of the many
horrors that result from religious and cultural confrontation.
And we are all to blame for having allowed to let it continue since the
beginning of recorded history.

Still, me being supposedly a scholar, and all, makes it a bit rough.
So, I guess I */am/* embarrassed. Sorry!
It was all I could do to not smart-assedly claim you had sucker-punched
us with that quote. But on followup of the (mis)quote, the mangling

In my case, I believe perhaps 10% of what I see/hear. And demand proof for

Not, mind you, that I'm particularly intelligent/educated...

I have listened to the chatter on this mail list for years now and with
only a few exceptions, we don't seem to put our models where our mouth

It's a good ramble. But to be clear, modeling and simulation (MS) is
not about, nor has it ever been about, finding a better model.
Perhaps that's arrogant on my part. How about MS has never been about
finding a better _anything_ for me.

On reflection of Owen's thread hygiene around hijacking, etc., I have to
wonder about the implications of what I want to call memetic drift.

Interesting find... has anyone done some analysis via Google's caches
