I will be traveling to Wisconsin tomorrow and miss Thuram. 2-cents: a word cloud might be a more useful metaphor than a semantic net, just because of the formalisms employed in the latter. True a cloud lacks explicit links, but such might be lightly sprinkled therein.
Did a huge double take at the last word in Nick's post. CBT, in one of the communities I associate with, has a far different meaning than, I think, Nick intended. And I would be 'they' used it first. davew On Wed, Feb 15, 2023, at 11:19 AM, thompnicks...@gmail.com wrote: > FWiW, I willmake every effort to arrive fed to Thuam by 10.30 Mountain.
