I do recall a posting of yours where you asked JMJM...of what help to him will revealing your secrets/agendas/motivations/(something, or another) be. Do you remember that? I think you also said something similar to Chris even before that
You gotta understand ED, you keep insisting on things that are taught against in Zen, without specifically putting those warnings in exact words...which is another thing you keep insisting with as well. Despite that it's only an online thingy we have here, you seem to put lots of value on Bill's, Mike's, and Steve's words...but they also pretty much tell you what the likes of Mayka and myself say to you Online being online, we take a risk when we post. I accept that. Can you? ..and ED...that last comment of yours above can't get anymore Middle Eastern than it is...*more laughter*...ahhh, academics..*smiles*....
