You're even more open-minded than I am in that sense, I think. But _if_ there's someone out there who thinks there exists inappropriate content (or even the complement, appropriate content), I'd like to hear their heuristics for knowing what's on either side of the boundary. My own opinions have evolved since I joined. I'm sure others' have, too. -- ⇔ glen 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

Re: [FRIAM] appropriate content for FRIAM
Neo Darwinism is well accepted here in my coordinates. Robbing and misusing (just s little) Dobzhansky's famous sentence: Nothing in my life makes sense except in the light of Evolution. Some times my Bogotanian English make me lose the thread but It does not matter. I enjoy it.
