Questions, questions, so many questions... Esoterica is fine but when the participants become entrenched and there is little or no movement in the thread then the time has come to move it somewhere else or let go. What kills me is the tendency to want to have the last word. It's very annoying. Someone I communicated with off list about this said they usually try to go off list if there are only 2 or 3 actively participating in a thread that is clearly going nowhere. I thought that made a lot of sense. It was interesting to hear this as it never seems to happen in practice. Lawrence ---------------------------------- Lawrence W.
