No, I am still missing your concern. Each post contains a self-sufficient thought -- at least in the posters view. Tying a series of posts together in some arbitrary way (IMO) doesn't add much. How does knowing what posts I made today, or yeasterday, or whenever, and which that I didn't, add any coherence to the discussion at hand. If anything its supurfulous information. And most good writing tries to minizize that -- or so I am told. It raises the classic question. Is the river today the same river that flowed past you yesterday. Is the person the same as the one 90 days ago whose cells have now essentially brand new relative to 90 days ago (I think 90 days is the cycle, corrections invited.) And raises the identification question prevelant on this list. What is the unifying "I" that is responding in each post? How relevant is something if doesn't exist to the "doer"? Or matter much? And the perception of a personality by others changes all the time. Why is that much of a unifying factors. Just some thoughts -- not arguments. ------------------------ Yahoo!
