I have a couple different reactions to it. Generally, when Jeff posts "something new" (since WHEN?), I have a personal reaction. I want to reply or follow-up with an experience of my own; but too many times Jeff's response has been "yes, but", so why bother? Another factor we might consider is the "attention scale". Jeff gets a lot of attention in this group for being the way he is. Would he continue to post if that attention dropped off? After all, if he gets to be different (ie. "better"), how would he get attention on the net? Obviously, there are readers who don't feel the sense of futility in reaching out to Jeff. I think I get some value out of my personal reactions to some of Jeff's "original" postings; however, I would like to see more of the follow-up moved to mail. Please consider carefully, whether your response is of of value to the group as a whole. Moira Mallison tektronix!moiram ######## still looking for housing in Berkeley! #########
