the truth is i came to WP to get away from discussion groups,
their non-productive going round'n'round the same-old-same-old
discursive circles with nobody really listening to each other,
in a kind of mass solipsism that is always going nowhere but
very noisly, and at first WP was refreshing break from that,
as there was always the aim of producing an encycolopedia
to focus one's xs energies on.  well, it's still possible
to find a few places that nobody else cares about, yet,
and to work on those isolated gardens of knowledge until
the xpressway comes through, bringing the book burners
and the brown sock puppets to trample it down into mush.
but the problem with that is that the core articles that
ought to be in a real encyclopedia are all becoming mush.

and dat's da truth ...

cheers, anyway,

ja
