Eru,
I am really sorry if I thought you were speaking when someone else was! Because I was giving the example specifically for you ... that's why the answer didn't make sense ... ah well - but I have a confession to make which is that my screen won't hold the writer's name and the post at the same time and I often just glance at the edge of the sig pic to see who I'm talking to and I've gotten in wrong on more than one ocassion. I shouldn't do that, really. I should scroll back and forth ... it's just tedious to do that.
I'll go back and see who it was that made those comments. Just btw, I did not mean there's something wrong with people who don't have a Ph.D. in philosophy, I meant there's something wrong with my posts if one needs a Ph.D. in philosophy to understand them!
Voronwe: Is it fair to make an exception for those two, but not the others?
I answered this in the other thread, too. I think a fair argument can be made that posters who were already members when Article 6 was ratified deserve to be 'grandfathered.'
CC: In case you were wondering, I'm 17 - hence the apathetic passion.
We are all acting out of self-interest, CC. Thanks for owning up to yours.
Idylle: The bad side of that is that she is now working in Boston.
But we have an enclave now of members and relatives in Boston! TP and Holby are there, plus my daughter and the sister of my daughter's BF and one of my former students. All bright folks (but you knew that already). Probably you wife knows people in Boston but if she doesn't ...
