>I was just asking questions. Actually, the same question has been asked and answered N times. Nomominal social behavior is for the asker to either help the various responders understand why he doesn't get the answer or to acknowledge that his question has been answered. BTW, like an old married couple, we're sorta exhausted lines of discussion on this list because hundreds to thousands of posts have been written by the long standing members of the list. We know each other and know each other's positions. For this, and other reasons that Rob alluded to, traffic on this list has dropped down. I'll give you points for being a novelty. It's easy to respond to your posts, many of them are hanging curves, belt high over the middle of the plate for those who differ with you. But, I think most people, and not just me, would like actual dialog....like we use to have. BTW, I still am having IM discussions with a former list member who's become a very good friend....and I've learned a lot. IIRC, he's publishing in four different types of professional journals virtually simultaneously as we write.
