Group, Please let me re-iterate my understanding and its history here. I believe in repetition and redundancy. I think I joined the list around 1998 or 99,...
Lewis, The post was meant tongue in cheek, sort of. In an era where we have trouble defining anything, including complexity, I thought it an interesting ...
Dear Lewis, would it be too much to ask you to kindly identify briefly the topic (person?) you are writing your remark upon (to)? It would ease the choice...
