Hey Sal, I have to take part of the credit or blame for the length since I produced my half of it. And I can certainly see how from the outside this beast is just too much to bear! Seriously. But I defend the charge that Robin is just sending out monologues to strangers here. This is one of the most interesting discussions I have engaged in here. And unfortunately it took a lot of words to suss out some key points of interest to both Robin and me. The driving force behind this exchange is a genuine interest in understanding each other's process for approaching reality. Because it engages our complete philosophies, it requires a lot of words. What we are attempting is not simple. And of course any conversation with me is going to be lengthened by whatever improv comedy strikes me as I write, so there we tack on even more. I am not making a case that this should be of interest to anyone else. I am just owning my part in it. > The average post here is > maybe 5-10 Kbs, this one alone is 125.
