Nick, I have avoided larding by quoting nothing whatever.
That should help my concentrate your attention on the point that I think is most important, which I have not seen you address at all (but I may have missed it): WHAT IS YOUR END-IN-VIEW? My previous claim, that (larded) e-mail correspondences are very like (properly conducted, if somewhat anarchic) conversations, suggests an ancillary--and behavioral!--question for you to consider to aid you in responding to the question above: what would you do (and why, or why not, would you want to), to achieve that end-in-view, if instead of an e-mail correspondence you had a recorded (or transcribed) conversation? ============================================================ FRIAM Applied Complexity Group listserv Meets Fridays 9a-11:30 at cafe at St. John's College to unsubscribe http://redfish.com/mailman/listinfo/friam_redfish.com
