I don't really see a problem with the long posts. Yesterday, for example, DNRath posted a simply extraordinary, and long, article on shipbreaking in India. The list will be poorer without these types of contributions.
Speaking of contributions, several days ago in discussing railroads and development I floated to the list several ideas about development in, and the development of the revolution in Mexico. I neglected to say that much of those ideas was worked out in offlist communication with Greg McDonald, whose own analysis sparked me to begin a deeper investigation of Mexico, and whose ideas, which sounded good to me before I started that investigation, sound still better now that I'm in the midst of it. ________________________________________________ YOU MUST clip all extraneous text when replying to a message.
