Nothing. I don't drink either. But if you can only think of feeble replies
like those, then you aren't thinking well enough, No wonder you, and so many
others here, go round inj silly little circles. Do you really think that
techncalities explain and shape thew world, and all that is in it? If so, and
you can do nothign but deride all who express anythign to suggest they think
otherwise, then you'll just keep winding yourself round those little circles
while the rewt find other things to do.

I have no idea what the heck you are talking about. You need to come

No, you need to get your face out of the dirt. That is all.

harm in that.


Precisely so.

I had a thought before switching on the computer today... We get nice
straight lines, accurate letters to write with, and it's easier than ever to
hide irrationality behind a veneer that feels authratitative. Apart from
typos due to agitation or poor eyesight (and good luck to anyone who thinks
they can easily tell the difference in another person's post), it's often
hard to tell what's behind some of the statements made this way. My verbosity
comes from knowing that the more said, the more clues we leave. I'm ok with
that, because it reduces risk of misinterpretation.

Of course, some people can be wilfully obtuse, however much

And however much care I take, there will be some flaw I notice within a day,
or an hour. Never mind, if the spirit gets past the letter, then something
worked.
