************* The following message is relayed to you by [email protected] ************
Hi David Thank you for telling about your experiences. You have had a much harder time than I did growing up.
My email about games and aberration was a logical exercise based on the limited definition where a game is an activity with postulates in conflict. Using another definition of game makes my arguments and conclusion invalid. Sincerely, Pete Sent from my iPad On Feb 29, 2012, at 1:02 PM, "David M.
