No problem Alan, as far as I'm concerned c'est fini...c'est tout finis! I,
for one, shan't mention it again. I have even suggested that chuck let it
die. If Eldon wants to continue gnawing old bones it's his perfect right,
but I, at least, won't encourage it by any response at all. I agree with
you, I read most of his messages for about one paragraph and then delete.
Others I read with interest all the way through, just as you do. But I think
that's the way to use these kinds of lists. I delete after one paragraph
when I see it's going to be a long discussion of theosophical terminology
too. I don't think there's anything to complain about when people read the
things that interest them and politely press the "out" button when they see
it doesn't. The last time people forced me to pay attention to things in
which I wasn't interested was during my military service when I had very
little choice. When I left military service I made three vows and I've kept
them all. One was never ever to get my head shaved again. Another was never
ever to sleep on the ground again. And the third was never to do anything I
didn't want to do again.
