I would suggest that the thread is not, at this point, developing any new thoughts or directions. "***" for "tat" would not be how I characterize it. More like lobbing grenades one and two at a time from one foxhole to the other.Why don't you each sum up your positions on this matter individually. What ideas capture your basis assumptions and arguments? Don't worry about taking up too much bandwidth. Go into detail so we can get to the bottom of your thinking processes. What happens when threads reach this point? Other members are exhausted from reading the point and counterpoint. They don't know where to break in and make some arguments of their own.So sum up your thinking, and step back. Let's see where that takes us.
