If I'm smart, now, I'll lay low |
I've written too much for a while and from too much of a "feeling"
place...might be smart of me to lay low for a while. No promises, but
it feels like the right thing right now. If I get any responses,
they'll do better if they gel for a while, I certainly won't know how
to answer them...and if I don't, well, I'll do better myself if I gel
for a while.

An elephant's word is one hundred percent." Courtesy of Horton Hears a
Who, a much better author as an elephant than I will ever be as a
human. And after you've said one hundred percent, what really is there
left to say?
Maybe I should take a sabbatical from ASD, eh? Only trouble is --
where? And how can I get back in time for the end of the weekend? I
have to work on Monday.....

Do whatever feels right.
I do hope it's not on account of me.

Nope, it isn't at all. But thanks for writing that.

I guess I'm not as smart as I wish I were. Still trying to extricate
myself, but it's not at all obvious, I'll be the first one to concede.

If there's one thing I've learned in my years on Usenet (he said,
stroking his long, gray beard) it's that there's only one way to
extricate yourself from a discussion, and that's to stop participating
in it. Not to say you should, of course, but you're certainly not going
to accomplish any "laying low" by starting threads about how you're
going to be doing that. And I personally hope you don't.

I think I'm impaired, I simply cannot follow these meta

no all these uber-geek types tell me I'm impaired
these LUGen are like nothing so much as what ladies
sewing circles were supposed to be like. I just do
not care **** about what Sunny thinks of Ashwan's

I thought what you said was pretty well on the nail. I also
appreciate that you were 'sticking up' for me a bit. Obviously
you are seriously in my good books right now. ;)
You don't need to take a sabbatical unless you really want to. I
have learnt a bit about you and will tend to look to discuss with
you more in the future. For me that is a gain, I hope so for you too.
Discussing with Bev is like smacking up against a rock. It
doesn't mean that doesn't have value. It just means that that's
all that it is.

Aww. I may be back out of your good books today given that I wrote I
can see points in what *both of you* say and I wish there was a little
more give and take to that discussion. I'm honest to a fault. I hope
you still like me. ;)

Kewl. I didn't completely sabbaticalize, I admit. For better or for
worse, I wrote a little more stuff from the heart this morning. I
don't expect to have much more to say on that particular convo,at this
point, and I don't want to...but I'm sure there will be lots of
discussion opportunities about other stuff in the future. I'd like to
read more from you.

Actually, I learned some valuable things about Bev and who Bev might
be in one of the two responses he wrote me (it was the most recent
one I read; I'm sure you'll be able to tell which one it was.) It
helped me to understand more of where he is coming from, which I
appreciate. I also "walked away" liking him more.
There has been some rock smacking in these discussions, too. But I bet
I'm a rock at times myself, at times... (I feel I have to add: I hope,
though, not to the same extent!)
Thanks, Glenn!

I like your approach and your thinking style. Liking you
personally will always take time.
You don't need to take a sabbatical unless you really want to. I
have learnt a bit about you and will tend to look to discuss with
you more in the future. For me that is a gain, I hope so for you too.

I seldom do what I say I'm going to. Yet when I do do
something... I tend to mean it. Then I come back and look at it
again and again. Nothing is complete. that is what I like most
about life. Nothing is finished, ever, just ready for the next
stage. Nothing is set in concrete for then it is dead. Then it is
really nothing.
Discussing with Bev is like smacking up against a rock. It
doesn't mean that doesn't have value. It just means that that's

I don't dislike Bev. I get angry at him. But then, I get angry at
myself and I don't dislike me either. At worst he is
frustratingly immovable, at best he is inspirational. There are a
few here who would fit in that category. He just fit's it better
than most... ;)
There has been some rock smacking in these discussions, too. But I bet
I'm a rock at times myself, at times... (I feel I have to add: I hope,

Thanks, Glenn!
