I'm interested in practicalities, but I'm also interested in theory. The big reason I read c.d.t. is to further my interest in theory. When I'm at work, I'm Mr. Practical. When I'm home, reading newsgroups, I put my theory hat on. So I actually have a *cultural* bias against discussing practicalities while here. (Plus, I already get a steady diet of that.)

Of course, the weird thing about crossposting is that "here" and "there" are the same place. This post goes to both, but I'm only subscribed to one. To me and other cdters, this is home base; to the cdpers, same thing. This kind of breaks a basic human interaction mechanism, which is that you be extra-polite when you're in someone else's home. We're each in the others' living room.

I'm not sure who first brough c.d.t. and c.d.p. together; it was perhaps not the best fit of cultures!
