Dear Bruno: Yes I do know the Everett FAQ. In the scheme I am considering for my efforts for this list we could try to maintain and map the dialog by having alternate responses to the questions. Each question would have an index such as "Q11" and the responses would have an index such as R11

Dear Bruno: OK - I will try your approach. At first I had felt that one could not mount much of a disagreement over whether or not a given word could be found in the archive. However, I now think it better to bite the bullet and go directly to a list of questions. Given the nature of the lis
