Re: my work is no longer valid

[August]

I am SuperSleuth. Sort of.   Okay. So you didn't mean it in a mean way. I am sorry for assuming wrong.   What is valid?   Well, on the surface we all know what it means. "Is it of any value?" "Is is making any sort of contribution positively to others?" Things like this.   But on a deeper level, it's a very good question and I don't think I can really answer it because it is too complicated to answer.   Sorry again for assuming wrong.   It was a valid assumption though, don't you think?   August     August Highland Online Studio www.august-highland.com ----- Original Message ----- From: Paul Stone To: WRYTING-L@LISTSERV.UTORONTO.CA Sent: Wednesday, August 24, 2005 5:42 PM Subject: Re: my work is no longer valid At 08:06 PM 8/24/2005, you wrote: Hi Paul,   You are at Esco Engineering still?   I wanted to see if that was your real name.   You post on a lot of lists and have an English background. Hey SuperSleuth, Yeah, I really exist. _I_ was not the one who posted the provocative subject heading "My work is no longer valid". I wondered WHY Alan said that. I think exploring what he and anyone means by 'valid' is a legitimate question. I'm not being mean or impolite. I'm wondering if, when, his work was valid and why it's not now. paul _________________ [insert pithy quote here] Paul Stone [EMAIL PROTECTED] Leamington, ON.
