I figured while I was listening to the US President, I could double the, uh, pleasure by reading an unread backlog of BB's insults.

This response once again makes me wonder why he cares so much, what he finds so threatening, so that he just can't ignore me. I can understand telling GWB (Bush) what he could do that would be a huge favor to the world, but to think that I could simply pick up knitting and it would be doing a world a huge favor, well that just made me smile. I must be making some progress as I am clearly hitting a nerve with some proponents of that which I am questioning. I'd rather be loved by all, but if this is a by-product of making a difference, then ah well...

cheers! --dawn
P.S. Thanks to the lurkers who have sent off-list e-mails of encouragement. I do realize that there is a vast industry of practitioners of which I am but one little voice, and one with more questions than answers, to be sure. Perhaps it is futile (as some have suggested) to even attempt a dialog with theorists on matters of interest to practitioners, and, no, I do not enjoy the nasty personal insults. So, your offlist positive comments are appreciated. Thanks. Received on Tue Jan 23 2007 - 20:59:39 CST
