Chris,
I have no quarrel with 'give and take', provided it's not a required mode of interaction. In the past few days, on this Forum, we have had a most illuminating give and take on 'Zen and the Brain' (unintentionally) initiated by Mike relating to us his ten-day retreat experiences. --ED --- In [email protected], Chris Austin-Lane <ch...@...> wrote: > That's fine. I, having spent a good amount of time in book groups, find that 'give and take' over a book that multiple people have read, never fails to bring me some understanding of perspectives I would not have arrived at in seclusion. Not every one's cup of tea, I'm sure. (Another colloquialism, Makya, meaning not preferred by everyone. "I'm sorry, but biking in the rain is just not my cup of tea.").

I am interested in hearing others' viewpoints if and when they express them, and I may or may not repond to them. --ED
