I am not going to start pointing fingers here monz but lets get real not
everyone
gets it in digest and your 7 posts in a row could maybe be organized into
one MONZ responds section of the list ...it could be a daily feature of the
list...hah!
My real point and this is really the last time I goin on this ..Ray tomes'
point about compromise was what I was trying to get across...as soon as
someone says(types) an actually interesting point that pertains to JI 10
people who have stated over and over again how we should not judge this or
that and how they don't agree all begin to write their opposing thesis
instead of like what beardsley said and does stays queit until he has
something to say. I honestly think that it would be fair to let people who
are interested in what Ray is saying respond instead of beginning some
assinine Perfect/natural/Pure/Tet war yet again
You start organizing your thought--I'll start trimming qoutes
Deal?

Good point Patrick.

Please Monz! Agree to it! I've earlier written Patrick privately (and god
knows who else has) to ask him to stop quoting entire messages at the end
of his posts (including the f**king Onelist advertisements and instructions
on how to subscribe and unsubscribe) but it seems to have had little effect.

Come on Patrick (and everyone), please. Only include the parts that you are
actually responding to and interleave your comments after the quotes. Do
you need to use a different mailer to make it easier?
