SUO: Re: Multiple Lists -- sorry for the recall -- I had it right 1st time
¤~~~~~~~~~¤~~~~~~~~~¤~~~~~~~~~¤~~~~~~~~~¤~~~~~~~~~¤
Graham,
Please understand, I have 14 GigaBytes of free space left on my machine.
I could not care less myself whether you use 16kb for your HTML message
or 2kb for the same message in ASCII. The minor annoyance of your total
quoting does not really cross the threshold of breaking my rule against
telling others what to do. I mention these utter trivialities only as
examples of things that other people on this list have taken the time
and the trouble to hassle me about in the past. The still live issue
of community peace and harmony that is worth my effort of sending this
message to 180 people, and perhaps worth their time to read it, is this:
That if you have something to say of interest on the subject of ontology or the
task of building a SUO, whether your own vision or a certified divine revelation,
then spend you energies writing and sending that, and if it is more compelling than
what I have to say about my idea, and more fun than gossiping about the personality
foibles of this or that donkey of the day to pin tales on, then others will likely
help you build it. Else not.
Jon Awbrey
