    Dear Don,
    Comp ai philosophy is possibly the wrong to chat. I'm doing ok tho I haven't begun your portrait yet, something I would NOT have considered payment for. I'm afraid you're going to have to wait until I'm in the mood, I have to move again soonish ..
    ..so maybe snail-mail suits best , huh !
    DO NOT rag the posters too much they have intelligent things to write for, like giving very impressive CV's, I've posted on Google Groups for nearly 20 years so I'm used to some writers, lots who are or were students & now moved on.

    I was convinced that you had quit writing me completely. You don't have to write here. We have email if you wish to write away from the public eye. Thank you.

    to be honest, I never thought I'd hear from you again after this amount of time

    Nick, you know what some people will do ? They'll have a good relationship going and then one of them will quit and the other one keeps writing , they want a relationship so bad , so they keep writing and writing , then after about a year the other
    person writes one time , the other person is all enthused.
    They keep writing maybe five years then the other person writes maybe one time to sucker the other person into writing some more. Isn't that terrible? Humans are such louses. What they did originally to break up the relationship was lie.

    That was a very nice message. I suppose if you're going to write again, I'll see a message and if you're not going to write again, I won't .
    as far as the posters here in comp.ai.philosophy, I don't share your high opinion of them.
    Why? For going round and round and round and round forever and ever discussing inconsequential nothingness ad nauseum.

    Did you know that the Egyptian government is going to accommodate foreign visitors who complained about the long trip from the airport out to the great pyramid of Giza by moving it right outside the airport Stone by stone?

    sorry, most likely chased you off again. Maybe someday I'll develop some patience , Learn to wait for somebody's reply. above, you did make a very honorable offer of an olive branch, and I in my cynicism didn't do too well with it.

    remember when we used to have long discussions and then they would go bad and we would delete all the posts and other readers here would ask questions why do you do that? I've also pretty sure that you are the only one that has a complete set of my hand
    written messages. My sister has quite a few also, are you keeping the identity of your children secret? Thank you for warning me about the Borg. That was the very first sentence you ever told me why am I being kind of insulting here? Because I'm
    convinced you'll never have another conversation with me , just individual posts to sucker me along, so I make responses like this such fond memories eat more pecans.

    if you would like to establish a back-and-forth correspondence, that would be fine , one person writing alone isn't very interesting

    Yes, by all means, you just work on the portrait when you're in the mood. I have a lot of patience. I can wait and you're right, I'd love to get back to s-mail. I love to write out things by hand and the advantage is that a hand written letter is almost
    impossible to fake. Sounds very good.

    I agree that emails can be hacked & plausibly be tampered with. I was looking for your email & found you as 'Adonis Stockbauer', I have no idea if you were being kinky or it was an alt account somebody else had set up.

    I'm very quiet generally, so I'm sorry if I haven't had very much to say....nothing much has happened since I last wrote, or maybe you reply so fast, I'm stumped so have a little less to tell you each time you write.

    Adonis is my third cousin twice removed.

    If I'm writing too fast, I can adhere now on to Hofstadter's tit-for-tat rule, which slows things down and it also ensures if one person quits the other person quits also.

    DO NOT rag the posters too much they have intelligent things to write for, like giving very impressive CV's, I've posted on Google Groups for nearly 20 years so I'm used to some writers, lots who are or were students & now moved on.
    I agree that emails can be hacked & plausibly be tampered with. I was looking for your email & found you as 'Adonis Stockbauer', I have no idea if you were being kinky or it was an alt account somebody else had set up.

    I'm very quiet generally, so I'm sorry if I haven't had very much to say....nothing much has happened since I last wrote, or maybe you reply so fast, I'm stumped so have a little less to tell you each time you write.

    Yes I agree, global warming is having a massively detrimental affect on nature and our world around
    Adonis is my third cousin twice removed.

    If I'm writing too fast, I can adhere now on to Hofstadter's tit-for-tat rule, which slows things down and it also ensures if one person quits the other person quits also.
    I promise I'll quit posting out of turn.

    My problem is that I get really worried that if I send someone a note that they won't return the favor.

    do you know mathematics has its paradoxes, but there are paradoxes in the ordinary world too, like if
    Person A quits writing to Person B, and Person B complains back to Person A about it , Person A will write even less or probably even nothing because he/she says to themselves " I've got person B here like a little puppet on a string and I don't like
    Person B anyway , so let's just make him dance his dance forever because he's a fool."

    I tell you what we should do. We should just take a break from one another however, long it takes . a day ?a month ? a year? Maybe we can do better after that. the only slight problem with that is how do we know when the break's over if nobody's

    oh, don't worry about it . at my front gate the other day a train went by with coal cars, 400 all together going to a local power plant here. a town in China had a temperature of 125°F this year , we put about 40,000,000 tons of CO2 in the atmosphere
    each year, far more than can be removed by plants and such . The carbon that was put into the ground over millions of years by nature is being released into the atmosphere in just a few years by us. so each summer will become hotter and hotter and
    hotter unless some real drastic actions are taken to reduce or eliminate fossil fuel use . maybe I can come and move in with you , Britain probably won't be too hot for a long time.

    I had a typo , that's 40 billion tons , not 40 million tons. As Carl Sagan would've said, "That's Billion with a "B". "
    That's like that old joke, Ralph's taking an astronomy course and Sam the teacher says "In 5 billion years the sun will expand and vaporize the Earth." Ralph anxiously raises his hand and asks "Did you say 5 billion years?"

    DO NOT rag the posters too much they have intelligent things to

    I agree that emails can be hacked & plausibly be tampered with. I
    was looking for your email & found you as 'Adonis Stockbauer', I
    have no idea if you were being kinky or it was an alt account
    somebody else had set up.

    I'm very quiet generally, so I'm sorry if I haven't had very much

    you reply so fast, I'm stumped so have a little less to tell you
    each time you write.

    Yes I agree, global warming is having a massively detrimental

    If I'm writing too fast, I can adhere now on to Hofstadter's
    tit-for-tat rule, which slows things down and it also ensures if one
    person quits the other person quits also.
    I promise I'll quit posting out of turn.

    My problem is that I get really worried that if I send someone a note

    see the way this works is if somebody dumped you, you need to immediately quit running to them because they will take your writing to them as a sign that you still like them but they will never ride to you again and every time you ride to them, they will
    feel a little bit prouder that you're writing to them but they're ignoring you and so if you write to someone who has dumped you is counterproductive it's just like digging a hole in the ceiling it back in especially when you discovered $100 million
    worth of gold at the bottom of the Pitt have a nice day and eat more pecans

    see what happens is suppose persons A and B had a long time correspondence and then person B wants out of it and quits writing. if person A is fool enough to keep writing what happens is that person B is not going to write back but will note that person
    A is still writing so person B continues the sham relationship by every now and then sending person A some kind of a little throwaway nothing and then if person A is fool enough to keep writing they'll write forever for no reason and person B's
    gratification out of it is they can say to themself that person A still likes me but I don't really care for them much and by just writing a little piece of throwaway nothing every now and then person B can keep person A on a string because person A is
    such an idiot.
    Doing tit for tat solves all that.

    Your conversational opponent can either engage you because they like writing to you , or they're playing dialogue games.

    If I'm writing too fast, I can adhere now on to Hofstadter's

    so you say that you'll get around to my portrait maybe someday maybe if you're in the mood but if you're not in the mood, you probably won't do it but if u don't do it, you won't charge for it and then also since I right so much you just don't have any
    ideas to send since I've already used up them all up even though, if you go by the Magritte painting, "this is not a PIPE " then there are almost an Infiniti of ideas out there so anyway, I'll be on tenderhooks to hear back after this post to you hope
    everything is swell in Britain and remember I don't think anybody has a collection of my hand written letters, although it doesn't matter because I'll never amount to anything

    Nic , are you sure you don't want to exchange some more handwritten letters? That way you'll have more of them . I mean , they won't be worth anything because I will never be famous at all but you'll have something at least. does your birdcage need
    lining at the bottom? is it a cockatoo?

    A relationship is like a wine glass : stress it some and it may break in two and can be repaired; stress it too much and it'll break into 1000 pieces and the relationship can never be repaired. Go find yourself someone else.

    Yes I agree, global warming is having a massively detrimental

    Adonis is my third cousin twice removed.

    If I'm writing too fast, I can adhere now on to Hofstadter's

    person quits the other person quits also.
    I promise I'll quit posting out of turn.

    through other hands before it gets to the recipient and then that higher power could put some text into the email that completely destroys the relationship ? do you think that's possible?

    when you're using the Internet to communicate with someone, you have no idea who you're talking te 2222TO it could be anyone of 8 billion people except for a few people living along the Congo river who still haven't gotten communication devices so the
    only thing you can do to be sure of the person that you're talking to would be to set up something like pretty good privacy PGP and I hear that can be done without the two of you having to be at any point in physical proximity but most people don't set
    up pretty good privacy so when you're using the Internet to talk to someone you should be talking to anyone on earth so you got to be very careful what you say and it's very careful this stifles progress so it's a dilemma maybe there are some people out
    there who throw caution to the wind and just say any old thing to their conversational opponent in the cause of advancing society. If you read this message, you'll see how extraordinarily complex everything is getting. I just turned on the radio, and
    instantly you hear about.com and download and browsers it in so everybody now on earth, you know, even a goat raiser in Arab states Hass to be a computer expert, so what it boils down to is everything is getting extremely complex and perhaps we're
    actually the most advanced civilization in the entire universe but there's one thing about that complexity. Is it a good thing, or a bad thing

    Did you know that if you strike up a conversation with somebody on the Internet that they could be any one of 8 billion people around the earth minus those that don't have communication? You've got to be very careful with what you say in fact you have
    to be so careful that well, you're probably better off saying nothing. that's the way humans handle each other nowadays. they say nothing to one another and it makes for a civilization which is going to die because systems thrive on communication and
    die due to no communication so I experience that in my personal life I strike up a little bit of a friendship with someone and then there's the smallest little bit of tension and they block me but that's OK because it gives me more time to do other
    things doesn't all this seem extremely complex to you? Is complexity a good thing, or a bad thing?

    A relationship is like a delicate wine glass ; if you drop it and it breaks into 1000 pieces there's no repairing it. Your only option is to go buy another wine glass.

    I told you that you probably have the only large collection of handwritten notes from me, but you know what , I just realized something. Actually, I have the largest collection of handwritten notes from me because I've hand written notes on all kind of
    different stuff and saved them, not that anybody would care.

    so you'll be writing again soon? Usually when there's a lot of animosity between two people like we've had it's impossible to get a conversation going again.

    Yes I agree, global warming is having a massively detrimental
    affect on nature and our world around
    Adonis is my third cousin twice removed.

    If I'm writing too fast, I can adhere now on to Hofstadter's
    tit-for-tat rule, which slows things down and it also ensures if one
    person quits the other person quits also.
    I promise I'll quit posting out of turn.

    My problem is that I get really worried that if I send someone a note that they won't return the favor.

    Dear Don,
    I don't know much about complexity, is that like chaos theory ?, but I did listen to the old folks in our family \when asked why they got bald, their answer was " grass never grows where its busy!", such is life, you may try too hard to cultivate a
    patch you really really wanted to cultivate ! and end up with nothing, you may stop calling a recipient an opponent, that really bugs me.
    A message in the post.

    Nicki

    Nicki, just a suggestion that if you do wanna correspondence, go ahead and reply to my messages fairly quickly , if you don't reply to them fairly quickly, it makes it look like you're just never gonna answer again and we're back into that whole thing

    don't let me tell you what to do because I really hate people telling me what to do.

    Dear Don,
    Comp ai philosophy is possibly the wrong to chat. I'm doing ok
    tho I haven't begun your portrait yet, something I would NOT have
    considered payment for. I'm afraid you're going to have to wait
    until I'm in the mood, I have to move again soonish ....so maybe
    snail-mail suits best , huh !
    DO NOT rag the posters too much they have intelligent things to
    write for, like giving very impressive CV's, I've posted on
    Google Groups for nearly 20 years so I'm used to some writers,
    lots who are or were students & now moved on.
    I agree that emails can be hacked & plausibly be tampered with. I
    was looking for your email & found you as 'Adonis Stockbauer', I
    have no idea if you were being kinky or it was an alt account
    somebody else had set up.

    I'm very quiet generally, so I'm sorry if I haven't had very much
    to say....nothing much has happened since I last wrote, or maybe
    you reply so fast, I'm stumped so have a little less to tell you
    each time you write.

    Yes I agree, global warming is having a massively detrimental
    affect on nature and our world around
    Adonis is my third cousin twice removed.

    If I'm writing too fast, I can adhere now on to Hofstadter's
    tit-for-tat rule, which slows things down and it also ensures if one
    person quits the other person quits also.
    I promise I'll quit posting out of turn.

    My problem is that I get really worried that if I send someone a note
    that they won't return the favor.

    Dear Don,
    I don't know much about complexity, is that like chaos theory ?, but I did listen to the old folks in our family \when asked why they got bald, their answer was " grass never grows where its busy!", such is life, you may try too hard to
    cultivate a patch you really really wanted to cultivate ! and end up with nothing, you may stop calling a recipient an opponent, that really bugs me.
    A message in the post.

    Nicki
    Nicki, just a suggestion that if you do wanna correspondence, go ahead and reply to my messages fairly quickly , if you don't reply to them fairly quickly, it makes it look like you're just never gonna answer again and we're back into that
    whole thing

    don't let me tell you what to do because I really hate people telling me what to do.
    if you answer me right away, that I know, you're not playing this game of never answering me ever again, and hurting my feelings.
    Who am I to demand when you answer or not
    you just take your time I'll be waiting.
    I'll be waiting for your next message.
    Whether that be a day , a week , a month , a year , 40 years I'll be here for you.
    since you have written such kindly words I have emailed you a link to my blogger, there is quite a lot on there that explains why I'm so often distracted, you're welcome to reply X
    that sounds great. Your link to your blog hasn't arrived yet, but I'll be looking forward. Perhaps a blog would bring me down to normal and quit making me send you all kind of mean and nasty stuff. Thank you.
    i'm still waiting for that link to your blog. I'm so excited. Thank you.

    oh I see here where you said you've already emailed the link to your blog !!!! but I haven't received it yet. Do you know that shows that these computers can mess up?

    DO NOT rag the posters too much they have intelligent things to

    I agree that emails can be hacked & plausibly be tampered with. I
    was looking for your email & found you as 'Adonis Stockbauer', I
    have no idea if you were being kinky or it was an alt account
    somebody else had set up.

    I'm very quiet generally, so I'm sorry if I haven't had very much
    to say....nothing much has happened since I last wrote, or maybe
    you reply so fast, I'm stumped so have a little less to tell you
    each time you write.

    Yes I agree, global warming is having a massively detrimental
    affect on nature and our world around
    Adonis is my third cousin twice removed.

    If I'm writing too fast, I can adhere now on to Hofstadter's
    tit-for-tat rule, which slows things down and it also ensures if one
    person quits the other person quits also.
    I promise I'll quit posting out of turn.

    My problem is that I get really worried that if I send someone a note

    Dear Don,
    I don't know much about complexity, is that like chaos theory ?, but I did listen to the old folks in our family \when asked why they got bald, their answer was " grass never grows where its busy!", such is life, you may try too
    hard to cultivate a patch you really really wanted to cultivate ! and end up with nothing, you may stop calling a recipient an opponent, that really bugs me.
    A message in the post.

    Nicki
    Nicki, just a suggestion that if you do wanna correspondence, go ahead and reply to my messages fairly quickly , if you don't reply to them fairly quickly, it makes it look like you're just never gonna answer again and we're back into
    that whole thing

    don't let me tell you what to do because I really hate people telling me what to do.
    if you answer me right away, that I know, you're not playing this game of never answering me ever again, and hurting my feelings.
    Who am I to demand when you answer or not
    you just take your time I'll be waiting.
    I'll be waiting for your next message.
    Whether that be a day , a week , a month , a year , 40 years I'll be here for you.
    since you have written such kindly words I have emailed you a link to my blogger, there is quite a lot on there that explains why I'm so often distracted, you're welcome to reply X
    that sounds great. Your link to your blog hasn't arrived yet, but I'll be looking forward. Perhaps a blog would bring me down to normal and quit making me send you all kind of mean and nasty stuff. Thank you.
    i'm still waiting for that link to your blog. I'm so excited. Thank you.
    oh I see here where you said you've already emailed the link to your blog !!!! but I haven't received it yet. Do you know that shows that these computers can mess up?
    I still haven't received it. Could you double check on your end to see that it really got sent if you did send it then we have to blame the entities that the email goes through on its way to me. You know , like the email could wind up in someone's
    office, who would modify it to say something that would strain our relationship.
    I hate to say this, but this is bordering on passive aggression. You know where somebody promises to do something and they don't making the other person feel bad. I had a so-called friend here that told me "you know what donnn, I'm passive aggressive
    , people tell me that all the time " and I told him that well that's nice. That's the number one relationship destroyer.
    so I'll be waiting for the link to your blog and we can get going again with reestablishing our relationship.

    and you wonder why I don't have any friends?

    Dear Don,
    Comp ai philosophy is possibly the wrong to chat. I'm doing ok
    tho I haven't begun your portrait yet, something I would NOT have
    considered payment for. I'm afraid you're going to have to wait
    until I'm in the mood, I have to move again soonish ....so maybe
    snail-mail suits best , huh !
    DO NOT rag the posters too much they have intelligent things to
    write for, like giving very impressive CV's, I've posted on
    Google Groups for nearly 20 years so I'm used to some writers,
    lots who are or were students & now moved on.
    I agree that emails can be hacked & plausibly be tampered with. I
    was looking for your email & found you as 'Adonis Stockbauer', I
    have no idea if you were being kinky or it was an alt account
    somebody else had set up.

    I'm very quiet generally, so I'm sorry if I haven't had very much
    to say....nothing much has happened since I last wrote, or maybe
    you reply so fast, I'm stumped so have a little less to tell you
    each time you write.

    Yes I agree, global warming is having a massively detrimental
    affect on nature and our world around
    Adonis is my third cousin twice removed.

    If I'm writing too fast, I can adhere now on to Hofstadter's
    tit-for-tat rule, which slows things down and it also ensures if one
    person quits the other person quits also.
    I promise I'll quit posting out of turn.

    My problem is that I get really worried that if I send someone a note
    that they won't return the favor.

    Dear Don,
    I don't know much about complexity, is that like chaos theory ?, but I did listen to the old folks in our family \when asked why they got bald, their answer was " grass never grows where its busy!", such is life, you may try too hard to
    cultivate a patch you really really wanted to cultivate ! and end up with nothing, you may stop calling a recipient an opponent, that really bugs me.
    A message in the post.

    Nicki
    Nicki, just a suggestion that if you do wanna correspondence, go ahead and reply to my messages fairly quickly , if you don't reply to them fairly quickly, it makes it look like you're just never gonna answer again and we're back into that
    whole thing

    don't let me tell you what to do because I really hate people telling me what to do.
    if you answer me right away, that I know, you're not playing this game of never answering me ever again, and hurting my feelings.
    Who am I to demand when you answer or not
    you just take your time I'll be waiting.
    I'll be waiting for your next message.
    Whether that be a day , a week , a month , a year , 40 years I'll be here for you.
    since you have written such kindly words I have emailed you a link to my blogger, there is quite a lot on there that explains why I'm so often distracted, you're welcome to reply X
    still haven't received the link to your blog.
    No Christmas present for you this year I'm afraid.
    still haven't gotten your link to your blog
    you know , there's some lyrics from a Phil Collins song that I think apply here:

    there must be some misunderstanding.
    There must be some kind of a mistake.
    I waited in the rain for hours
    and you were late.
    1. I sent the link to your hotmail account.
    2. I can't help it if you have run out of notepaper.
    3. I'm never going to write to you again via comp.ai.philosophy

    I agree that emails can be hacked & plausibly be tampered with. I
    was looking for your email & found you as 'Adonis Stockbauer', I
    have no idea if you were being kinky or it was an alt account
    somebody else had set up.

    I'm very quiet generally, so I'm sorry if I haven't had very much
    to say....nothing much has happened since I last wrote, or maybe
    you reply so fast, I'm stumped so have a little less to tell you
    each time you write.

    Yes I agree, global warming is having a massively detrimental

    Adonis is my third cousin twice removed.

    If I'm writing too fast, I can adhere now on to Hofstadter's

    Dear Don,
    I don't know much about complexity, is that like chaos theory ?, but I did listen to the old folks in our family \when asked why they got bald, their answer was " grass never grows where its busy!", such is life, you may try too
    hard to cultivate a patch you really really wanted to cultivate ! and end up with nothing, you may stop calling a recipient an opponent, that really bugs me.
    A message in the post.

    Nicki
    Nicki, just a suggestion that if you do wanna correspondence, go ahead and reply to my messages fairly quickly , if you don't reply to them fairly quickly, it makes it look like you're just never gonna answer again and we're back into
    that whole thing

    don't let me tell you what to do because I really hate people telling me what to do.
    if you answer me right away, that I know, you're not playing this game of never answering me ever again, and hurting my feelings.
    Who am I to demand when you answer or not
    you just take your time I'll be waiting.
    I'll be waiting for your next message.
    Whether that be a day , a week , a month , a year , 40 years I'll be here for you.
    since you have written such kindly words I have emailed you a link to my blogger, there is quite a lot on there that explains why I'm so often distracted, you're welcome to reply X
    still haven't received the link to your blog.
    No Christmas present for you this year I'm afraid.
    still haven't gotten your link to your blog
    you know , there's some lyrics from a Phil Collins song that I think apply here:

    there must be some misunderstanding.
    There must be some kind of a mistake.
    I waited in the rain for hours
    and you were late.
    1. I sent the link to your hotmail account.

    Dear Nicki,

    I was not at all inviting you to come to the United States. I do know that you've never found your passport. I was trying to get us back to a normal conversation like we're having now . It could be out here in the group or by private email. Thank you

    it's funny how you can pull a subject out of thin air like you can't visit the United States when I made absolutely no mention of it.

    Nicki, just a suggestion that if you do wanna correspondence, go ahead and reply to my messages fairly quickly , if you don't reply to them fairly quickly, it makes it look like you're just never gonna answer again and we're back

    don't let me tell you what to do because I really hate people telling me what to do.

    well, I have no idea what's going on with you, but I've never asked you one time to come over here
    sure maybe 17 years ago but certainly not recently.

    I have explained to you in previous emails that I am lame, I can't walk like average hope to, and, although I could really afford to visit you or anyone in USA there are certain' biomechanical' difficulties I have to consider.
    i'm sorry that you are lame. I do know that you've had neurosurgery but there's been some mixup in that I did not invite you to America . 17 years ago maybe but you couldn't come because you couldn't find your passport so sorry about the confusion I
    wish I could somehow help you out with your being lame but you are 6000 miles away . i'm sorry if I have been unkind to you in any way.

    i'm proud of you that you've been protecting the identity of your children quite well.

    Dear Don,
    I don't know much about complexity, is that like chaos theory ?, but I did listen to the old folks in our family \when asked why they got bald, their answer was " grass never grows where its busy!", such is life, you may try too
    hard to cultivate a patch you really really wanted to cultivate ! and end up with nothing, you may stop calling a recipient an opponent, that really bugs me.

    Nicki, just a suggestion that if you do wanna correspondence, go ahead and reply to my messages fairly quickly , if you don't reply to them fairly quickly, it makes it look like you're just never gonna answer again and we're back into
    that whole thing

    don't let me tell you what to do because I really hate people telling me what to do.
    if you answer me right away, that I know, you're not playing this game of never answering me ever again, and hurting my feelings.
    Who am I to demand when you answer or not
    you just take your time I'll be waiting.
    I'll be waiting for your next message.
    Whether that be a day , a week , a month , a year , 40 years I'll be here for you.
    since you have written such kindly words I have emailed you a link to my blogger, there is quite a lot on there that explains why I'm so often distracted, you're welcome to reply X
    still haven't received the link to your blog.
    No Christmas present for you this year I'm afraid.
    still haven't gotten your link to your blog
    you know , there's some lyrics from a Phil Collins song that I think apply here:

    there must be some misunderstanding.

    I know you've had neurosurgery I know that you're lame . some bastard at some point doctored my message to you and that person claimed that you were just saying you had neurosurgery so you could claim that you do not remember certain things . You
    immediately said "I quit, " although you have hung on here for quite a long time so anyway, like my father would have said back when he was alive, "that's the sad story of Don and Nicola"

    into that whole thing

    don't let me tell you what to do because I really hate people telling me what to do.
    if you answer me right away, that I know, you're not playing this game of never answering me ever again, and hurting my feelings.
    Who am I to demand when you answer or not
    you just take your time I'll be waiting.
    I'll be waiting for your next message.
    Whether that be a day , a week , a month , a year , 40 years I'll be here for you.
    since you have written such kindly words I have emailed you a link to my blogger, there is quite a lot on there that explains why I'm so often distracted, you're welcome to reply X
    still haven't received the link to your blog.
    No Christmas present for you this year I'm afraid.
    still haven't gotten your link to your blog
    you know , there's some lyrics from a Phil Collins song that I think apply here:

    there must be some misunderstanding.
    There must be some kind of a mistake.
    I waited in the rain for hours
    and you were late.
    1. I sent the link to your hotmail account.
    2. I can't help it if you have run out of notepaper.
    3. I'm never going to write to you again via comp.ai.philosophy
    thank you for the condolences

    I have explained to you in previous emails that I am lame, I can't walk like average hope to, and, although I could really afford to visit you or anyone in USA there are certain' biomechanical' difficulties I have to consider.
    I know you've had neurosurgery I know that you're lame . some bastard at some point doctored my message to you and that person claimed that you were just saying you had neurosurgery so you could claim that you do not remember certain things . You
    immediately said "I quit, " although you have hung on here for quite a long time so anyway, like my father would have said back when he was alive, "that's the sad story of Don and Nicola"

    you know, none of the 8 billion people on earth should try to communicate by telecommunications because you never know who you're talking to unless you use one of these things. What is it like pretty good privacy or something like that?

    Dear Don,
    I don't know much about complexity, is that like chaos theory ?, but I did listen to the old folks in our family \when asked why they got bald, their answer was " grass never grows where its busy!", such is life, you may try too
    hard to cultivate a patch you really really wanted to cultivate ! and end up with nothing, you may stop calling a recipient an opponent, that really bugs me.
    A message in the post.

    Nicki, just a suggestion that if you do wanna correspondence, go ahead and reply to my messages fairly quickly , if you don't reply to them fairly quickly, it makes it look like you're just never gonna answer again and we're back into
    that whole thing

    don't let me tell you what to do because I really hate people telling me what to do.
    if you answer me right away, that I know, you're not playing this game of never answering me ever again, and hurting my feelings.
    Who am I to demand when you answer or not
    you just take your time I'll be waiting.
    I'll be waiting for your next message.

    Dear Don,
    Comp ai philosophy is possibly the wrong to chat. I'm doing ok

    until I'm in the mood, I have to move again soonish ....so maybe
    snail-mail suits best , huh !
    DO NOT rag the posters too much they have intelligent things to
    write for, like giving very impressive CV's, I've posted on
    Google Groups for nearly 20 years so I'm used to some writers,
    lots who are or were students & now moved on.
    I agree that emails can be hacked & plausibly be tampered with. I
    was looking for your email & found you as 'Adonis Stockbauer', I
    have no idea if you were being kinky or it was an alt account
    somebody else had set up.

    I'm very quiet generally, so I'm sorry if I haven't had very much
    to say....nothing much has happened since I last wrote, or maybe
    you reply so fast, I'm stumped so have a little less to tell you
    each time you write.

    Yes I agree, global warming is having a massively detrimental
    affect on nature and our world around
    Adonis is my third cousin twice removed.

    If I'm writing too fast, I can adhere now on to Hofstadter's
    tit-for-tat rule, which slows things down and it also ensures if one
    person quits the other person quits also. >> I promise I'll quit posting out of turn.

    My problem is that I get really worried that if I send someone a note
    that they won't return the favor.

    Dear Don,
    I don't know much about complexity, is that like chaos theory ?, but I did listen to the old folks in our family \when asked why they got bald, their answer was " grass never grows where its busy!", such is life, you may try too
    hard to cultivate a patch you really really wanted to cultivate ! and end up with nothing, you may stop calling a recipient an opponent, that really bugs me.
    A message in the post.

    Nicki
    Nicki, just a suggestion that if you do wanna correspondence, go ahead and reply to my messages fairly quickly , if you don't reply to them fairly quickly, it makes it look like you're just never gonna answer again and we're back
    into that whole thing

    don't let me tell you what to do because I really hate people telling me what to do.
    if you answer me right away, that I know, you're not playing this game of never answering me ever again, and hurting my feelings.
    Who am I to demand when you answer or not
    you just take your time I'll be waiting.
    I'll be waiting for your next message.
    Whether that be a day , a week , a month , a year , 40 years I'll be here for you.
    since you have written such kindly words I have emailed you a link to my blogger, there is quite a lot on there that explains why I'm so often distracted, you're welcome to reply X
    still haven't received the link to your blog.
    No Christmas present for you this year I'm afraid.
    still haven't gotten your link to your blog
    you know , there's some lyrics from a Phil Collins song that I think apply here:

    there must be some misunderstanding.
    There must be some kind of a mistake.
    I waited in the rain for hours
    and you were late.
    1. I sent the link to your hotmail account.
    2. I can't help it if you have run out of notepaper.
    3. I'm never going to write to you again via comp.ai.philosophy
    thank you for the condolences

    Mr Stockbaur
    I have explained to you in previous emails that I am lame, I can't walk like average hope to, and, although I could really afford to visit you or anyone in USA there are certain' biomechanical' difficulties I have to consider.

    my problem is that I need to follow the tit for tat rule. Another word you only rights you take turns you don't write a bunch of times in a row. That way it manages everything better because if your conversational friend fails to write you then that
    shit relationship over instead of someone that would continue to write and write and write with no answer and what's happening is the person that's not answering is thinking like this fool still is writing to me so I just won't write to them and they're
    wasting all this time and effort riding to me when I'm not riding back. It's just the way of human relationships.
    you see what the crude Apple dictation did above it put the word shit in when I didn't say that it's the responsible party for such actions such as that

    The best way to remove somebody from your life is to ignore them well that is unless they become a stocker then you got problems but if you're separated by 6000 miles then that's not a problem because it's hard for them to stalk you unless it's the
    Internet, you can be stocked on the Internet and still be 6000 miles apart isn't life complicated you know the Internet has made things so complicated it's really sickening I mean with everything getting so complicated is that a good thing or a bad thing?

    Google Groups for nearly 20 years so I'm used to some writers,
    lots who are or were students & now moved on.
    I agree that emails can be hacked & plausibly be tampered with. I
    was looking for your email & found you as 'Adonis Stockbauer', I
    have no idea if you were being kinky or it was an alt account
    somebody else had set up.

    I'm very quiet generally, so I'm sorry if I haven't had very much
    to say....nothing much has happened since I last wrote, or maybe
    you reply so fast, I'm stumped so have a little less to tell you
    each time you write.

    Yes I agree, global warming is having a massively detrimental
    affect on nature and our world around
    Adonis is my third cousin twice removed.

    If I'm writing too fast, I can adhere now on to Hofstadter's
    tit-for-tat rule, which slows things down and it also ensures if one
    person quits the other person quits also.
    I promise I'll quit posting out of turn.

    My problem is that I get really worried that if I send someone a note
    that they won't return the favor.

    Dear Don,
    I don't know much about complexity, is that like chaos theory ?, but I did listen to the old folks in our family \when asked why they got bald, their answer was " grass never grows where its busy!", such is life, you may
    try too hard to cultivate a patch you really really wanted to cultivate ! and end up with nothing, you may stop calling a recipient an opponent, that really bugs me.
    A message in the post.

    Nicki
    Nicki, just a suggestion that if you do wanna correspondence, go ahead and reply to my messages fairly quickly , if you don't reply to them fairly quickly, it makes it look like you're just never gonna answer again and we're
    back into that whole thing

    don't let me tell you what to do because I really hate people telling me what to do.
    if you answer me right away, that I know, you're not playing this game of never answering me ever again, and hurting my feelings.
    Who am I to demand when you answer or not
    you just take your time I'll be waiting.
    I'll be waiting for your next message.
    Whether that be a day , a week , a month , a year , 40 years I'll be here for you.
    since you have written such kindly words I have emailed you a link to my blogger, there is quite a lot on there that explains why I'm so often distracted, you're welcome to reply X
    still haven't received the link to your blog.
    No Christmas present for you this year I'm afraid.
    still haven't gotten your link to your blog
    you know , there's some lyrics from a Phil Collins song that I think apply here:

    there must be some misunderstanding.
    There must be some kind of a mistake.
    I waited in the rain for hours
    and you were late.
    1. I sent the link to your hotmail account.
    2. I can't help it if you have run out of notepaper.
    3. I'm never going to write to you again via comp.ai.philosophy
    thank you for the condolences

    Mr Stockbaur
    I have explained to you in previous emails that I am lame, I can't walk like average hope to, and, although I could really afford to visit you or anyone in USA there are certain' biomechanical' difficulties I have to consider.

    my problem is that I need to follow the tit for tat rule. Another word you only rights you take turns you don't write a bunch of times in a row. That way it manages everything better because if your conversational friend fails to write you then
    that shit relationship over instead of someone that would continue to write and write and write with no answer and what's happening is the person that's not answering is thinking like this fool still is writing to me so I just won't write to them and
    they're wasting all this time and effort riding to me when I'm not riding back. It's just the way of human relationships.
    you see what the crude Apple dictation did above it put the word shit in when I didn't say that it's the responsible party for such actions such as that
    The best way to remove somebody from your life is to ignore them well that is unless they become a stocker then you got problems but if you're separated by 6000 miles then that's not a problem because it's hard for them to stalk you unless it's the
    Internet, you can be stocked on the Internet and still be 6000 miles apart isn't life complicated you know the Internet has made things so complicated it's really sickening I mean with everything getting so complicated is that a good thing or a bad thing?

    I have sensed that you do not wish to carry on with the dialogue. Is that true?
    isn't this fun? It's just like the old days where we would have these long long dialogue's and then we finally just delete everything but that doesn't mean they're not somewhere everything that's ever deleted from the Internet a copy is saved so don't
    dare say anything illegal.

    do you think that if one person of a conversing pair quits riding that the other one should quit riding to?

    A friendship or relationship is the same as a wine glass. If you drop the wine glass, it will shatter into 1000 pieces. There's no way to fix it. All you can do is go out and buy another wine glass.

    you know , there's some lyrics from a Phil Collins song that I think apply here:

    there must be some misunderstanding.
    There must be some kind of a mistake.
    I waited in the rain for hours
    and you were late.
    1. I sent the link to your hotmail account.
    2. I can't help it if you have run out of notepaper.
    3. I'm never going to write to you again via comp.ai.philosophy
    thank you for the condolences

    I have explained to you in previous emails that I am lame, I can't walk like average hope to, and, although I could really afford to visit you or anyone in USA there are certain' biomechanical' difficulties I have to consider.

    A friendship or relationship is the same as a wine glass. If you drop the wine glass, it will shatter into 1000 pieces. There's no way to fix it. All you can do is go out and buy another wine glass.

    maybe it's best just to not form friendships and relationships. It's just too much heartbreak. Somebody once said there's so much difference between people they can never form a mutually beneficial union.

    Dear Don,
    I don't know much about complexity, is that like chaos theory ?, but I did listen to the old folks in our family \when asked why they got bald, their answer was " grass never grows where its busy!", such is life, you may try too
    hard to cultivate a patch you really really wanted to cultivate ! and end up with nothing, you may stop calling a recipient an opponent, that really bugs me.
    A message in the post.

    Nicki
    Nicki, just a suggestion that if you do wanna correspondence, go ahead and reply to my messages fairly quickly , if you don't reply to them fairly quickly, it makes it look like you're just never gonna answer again and we're back
    into that whole thing

    don't let me tell you what to do because I really hate people telling me what to do.
    if you answer me right away, that I know, you're not playing this game of never answering me ever again, and hurting my feelings.
    Who am I to demand when you answer or not
    you just take your time I'll be waiting.
    I'll be waiting for your next message.
    Whether that be a day , a week , a month , a year , 40 years I'll be here for you.

    Do you think that two people who are in a writing relationship and then one of them quits but the other one keeps writing on and on and on and on with no response from the other person, do you think that the person who continues to write on and on and on
    will eventually maybe like give up seeing the hopelessness of the situation ??

    I was also wondering did you get the title to this thread from that short story "MS in a bottle "written by Edgar Allan Poe?

    I don't know much about complexity, is that like chaos theory ?, but I did listen to the old folks in our family \when asked why they got bald, their answer was " grass never grows where its busy!", such is life, you may try too
    hard to cultivate a patch you really really wanted to cultivate ! and end up with nothing, you may stop calling a recipient an opponent, that really bugs me.
    A message in the post.

    Nicki
    Nicki, just a suggestion that if you do wanna correspondence, go ahead and reply to my messages fairly quickly , if you don't reply to them fairly quickly, it makes it look like you're just never gonna answer again and we're back
    into that whole thing

    don't let me tell you what to do because I really hate people telling me what to do.
    if you answer me right away, that I know, you're not playing this game of never answering me ever again, and hurting my feelings.
    Who am I to demand when you answer or not
    you just take your time I'll be waiting.
    I'll be waiting for your next message.
    Whether that be a day , a week , a month , a year , 40 years I'll be here for you.
    since you have written such kindly words I have emailed you a link to my blogger, there is quite a lot on there that explains why I'm so often distracted, you're welcome to reply X
    still haven't received the link to your blog.
    No Christmas present for you this year I'm afraid.
    still haven't gotten your link to your blog
    you know , there's some lyrics from a Phil Collins song that I think apply here:

    there must be some misunderstanding.
    There must be some kind of a mistake.
    I waited in the rain for hours
    and you were late.
    1. I sent the link to your hotmail account.
    2. I can't help it if you have run out of notepaper.
    3. I'm never going to write to you again via comp.ai.philosophy
    thank you for the condolences

    I have explained to you in previous emails that I am lame, I can't walk like average hope to, and, although I could really afford to visit you or anyone in USA there are certain' biomechanical' difficulties I have to consider.

    Do you think that two people who are in a writing relationship and then one of them quits but the other one keeps writing on and on and on and on with no response from the other person, do you think that the person who continues to write on and on and
    on will eventually maybe like give up seeing the hopelessness of the situation ??

    I was also wondering did you get the title to this thread from that short story "MS in a bottle "written by Edgar Allan Poe?

    do you think that if one person quits a writing relationship and the other one keeps on and on that eventually the one that keeps on and on will eventually tire of it and quit?

    it's OK Nick we had many years of correspondence with one another all things must Pass the best thing to do when someone no longer wishes to communicate with you is to just be gallons about it let them go and go onto different things I know you
    could start up a meaningful conversation instantly if you wanted to, but I'm afraid the hurt is pjust too deep and it's impossible for you to do so I'll remember you for always, and eat more Pecans.

    Dear Don,
    I don't know much about complexity, is that like chaos theory ?, but I did listen to the old folks in our family \when asked why they got bald, their answer was " grass never grows where its busy!", such is life, you may try too
    hard to cultivate a patch you really really wanted to cultivate ! and end up with nothing, you may stop calling a recipient an opponent, that really bugs me.
    A message in the post.

    Nicki
    Nicki, just a suggestion that if you do wanna correspondence, go ahead and reply to my messages fairly quickly , if you don't reply to them fairly quickly, it makes it look like you're just never gonna answer again and we're back
    into that whole thing

    don't let me tell you what to do because I really hate people telling me what to do.
    if you answer me right away, that I know, you're not playing this game of never answering me ever again, and hurting my feelings.
    Who am I to demand when you answer or not
    you just take your time I'll be waiting.
    I'll be waiting for your next message.
    Whether that be a day , a week , a month , a year , 40 years I'll be here for you.
    since you have written such kindly words I have emailed you a link to my blogger, there is quite a lot on there that explains why I'm so often distracted, you're welcome to reply X
    still haven't received the link to your blog.
    No Christmas present for you this year I'm afraid.
    still haven't gotten your link to your blog
    you know , there's some lyrics from a Phil Collins song that I think apply here:

    there must be some misunderstanding.
    There must be some kind of a mistake.
    I waited in the rain for hours
    and you were late.
    1. I sent the link to your hotmail account.

    I have explained to you in previous emails that I am lame, I can't walk like average hope to, and, although I could really afford to visit you or anyone in USA there are certain' biomechanical' difficulties I have to consider.

    it's OK Nick we had many years of correspondence with one another all things must Pass the best thing to do when someone no longer wishes to communicate with you is to just be gallons about it let them go and go onto different things I know you could
    start up a meaningful conversation instantly if you wanted to, but I'm afraid the hurt is pjust too deep and it's impossible for you to do so I'll remember you for always, and eat more Pecans.

    One thing you don't want to do is if your relationship has fallen apart is to keep badgering the other person to come back. It's very poor form. It won't get them back It just makes for bad feelings everywhere.

    The primary way people communicate nowadays is to not communicate.
    Confer Simon and Garfunkel's song "the Sound of Silence" . Silence worked real well for the people in that song.

    if you've been writing to someone and all of a sudden they won't say a word back and you really like that person so you keep writing on and on please please write me on and on and maybe a year goes by finally they condescend and send you a message and
    what will that message be with 100% certainty? "I've been too busy for you " the nice thing about that is it shows you where you stand exactly with that person . you're not worth their time .

    see the game is very simple to play. The person that wants to be rid of you merely does nothing . what could be easier than that anything you could possibly send that person they'll ignore you know like for instance, what if that person needs a
    kidney ? can you find out where there's a kidney available for them? They still won't write you because they'd rather die than write you. are we living in a wonderful society ?God bless it.

    Dear Don,
    I don't know much about complexity, is that like chaos theory ?, but I did listen to the old folks in our family \when asked why they got bald, their answer was " grass never grows where its busy!", such is life, you may try
    too hard to cultivate a patch you really really wanted to cultivate ! and end up with nothing, you may stop calling a recipient an opponent, that really bugs me.
    A message in the post.

    Nicki
    Nicki, just a suggestion that if you do wanna correspondence, go ahead and reply to my messages fairly quickly , if you don't reply to them fairly quickly, it makes it look like you're just never gonna answer again and we're
    back into that whole thing

    don't let me tell you what to do because I really hate people telling me what to do.
    if you answer me right away, that I know, you're not playing this game of never answering me ever again, and hurting my feelings.
    Who am I to demand when you answer or not
    you just take your time I'll be waiting.
    I'll be waiting for your next message.
    Whether that be a day , a week , a month , a year , 40 years I'll be here for you.
    since you have written such kindly words I have emailed you a link to my blogger, there is quite a lot on there that explains why I'm so often distracted, you're welcome to reply X
    still haven't received the link to your blog.
    No Christmas present for you this year I'm afraid.
    still haven't gotten your link to your blog
    you know , there's some lyrics from a Phil Collins song that I think apply here:

    there must be some misunderstanding.
    There must be some kind of a mistake.
    I waited in the rain for hours
    and you were late.
    1. I sent the link to your hotmail account.
    2. I can't help it if you have run out of notepaper.
    3. I'm never going to write to you again via comp.ai.philosophy
    thank you for the condolences

    Mr Stockbaur
    I have explained to you in previous emails that I am lame, I can't walk like average hope to, and, although I could really afford to visit you or anyone in USA there are certain' biomechanical' difficulties I have to consider.

    The primary way people communicate nowadays is to not communicate.
    Confer Simon and Garfunkel's song "the Sound of Silence" . Silence worked real well for the people in that song.
    if you've been writing to someone and all of a sudden they won't say a word back and you really like that person so you keep writing on and on please please write me on and on and maybe a year goes by finally they condescend and send you a message and
    what will that message be with 100% certainty? "I've been too busy for you " the nice thing about that is it shows you where you stand exactly with that person . you're not worth their time .

    see the game is very simple to play. The person that wants to be rid of you merely does nothing . what could be easier than that anything you could possibly send that person they'll ignore you know like for instance, what if that person needs a kidney ?
    can you find out where there's a kidney available for them? They still won't write you because they'd rather die than write you. are we living in a wonderful society ?God bless it.

    that was a really nice condolence card about my brother Fred's death and it was an actual card not some kind of worthless online thing but after I received it, I thought to myself self how did she find out? I don't think I told her or maybe I did tell
    you I went back through my yahoo messages and Yahoo has this thing when you look at the send message file it'll repeat the same message maybe 20 times like the idiots that they are so how could you possibly know that my brother died? I'm afraid I have
    to go with. Perhaps you had access to some very high level retrieval method who knows who would possibly have access to such high-level to retrieve a message, but one thing you can do is if that's not true just go ahead and send me a note about how you
    received the information that my brother Fred died maybe that you scanned obituaries or maybe telepathy, perhaps clairvoyance? sad thing is when people no longer communicate the person who is trying to communicate with the other one just Hass to guess
    since all they're getting is no's from the other person there are literally trillions of possibilities in this complicated civilization we live in and so it just makes for obfuscation

    The best way to remove somebody from your life is to ignore them that is unless you run into them at the supermarket in which case you can always say I'm sorry I have to leave. I have a roast in the oven at home.

    Dear Don,
    I don't know much about complexity, is that like chaos theory ?, but I did listen to the old folks in our family \when asked why they got bald, their answer was " grass never grows where its busy!", such is life, you may try too
    hard to cultivate a patch you really really wanted to cultivate ! and end up with nothing, you may stop calling a recipient an opponent, that really bugs me.
    A message in the post.

    Nicki
    Nicki, just a suggestion that if you do wanna correspondence, go ahead and reply to my messages fairly quickly , if you don't reply to them fairly quickly, it makes it look like you're just never gonna answer again and we're back
    into that whole thing

    don't let me tell you what to do because I really hate people telling me what to do.
    if you answer me right away, that I know, you're not playing this game of never answering me ever again, and hurting my feelings.
    Who am I to demand when you answer or not
    you just take your time I'll be waiting.
    I'll be waiting for your next message.
    Whether that be a day , a week , a month , a year , 40 years I'll be here for you.
    since you have written such kindly words I have emailed you a link to my blogger, there is quite a lot on there that explains why I'm so often distracted, you're welcome to reply X
    still haven't received the link to your blog.
    No Christmas present for you this year I'm afraid.
    still haven't gotten your link to your blog
    you know , there's some lyrics from a Phil Collins song that I think apply here:

    there must be some misunderstanding.
    There must be some kind of a mistake.
    I waited in the rain for hours

    1. I sent the link to your hotmail account.

    I have explained to you in previous emails that I am lame, I can't walk like average hope to, and, although I could really afford to visit you or anyone in USA there are certain' biomechanical' difficulties I have to consider.

    The more you badger someone to write to you , the less they will.

    if you're in a conversation with someone, you have to be very sensitive to whether they still like you or not

    if they've grown to not like you, they may still communicate with you, but it'll just be at the level of a game or something very negative and they'll pretend to like you. This is the pathetic state of the Internet.

    Dear Don,
    I don't know much about complexity, is that like chaos theory ?, but I did listen to the old folks in our family \when asked why they got bald, their answer was " grass never grows where its busy!", such is life, you may try
    too hard to cultivate a patch you really really wanted to cultivate ! and end up with nothing, you may stop calling a recipient an opponent, that really bugs me.
    A message in the post.

    Nicki
    Nicki, just a suggestion that if you do wanna correspondence, go ahead and reply to my messages fairly quickly , if you don't reply to them fairly quickly, it makes it look like you're just never gonna answer again and we're
    back into that whole thing

    don't let me tell you what to do because I really hate people telling me what to do.
    if you answer me right away, that I know, you're not playing this game of never answering me ever again, and hurting my feelings.
    Who am I to demand when you answer or not
    you just take your time I'll be waiting.
    I'll be waiting for your next message.
    Whether that be a day , a week , a month , a year , 40 years I'll be here for you.
    since you have written such kindly words I have emailed you a link to my blogger, there is quite a lot on there that explains why I'm so often distracted, you're welcome to reply X
    still haven't received the link to your blog.
    No Christmas present for you this year I'm afraid.
    still haven't gotten your link to your blog
    you know , there's some lyrics from a Phil Collins song that I think apply here:

    there must be some misunderstanding.
    There must be some kind of a mistake.
    I waited in the rain for hours
    and you were late.
    1. I sent the link to your hotmail account.
    2. I can't help it if you have run out of notepaper.
    3. I'm never going to write to you again via comp.ai.philosophy
    thank you for the condolences

    Mr Stockbaur
    I have explained to you in previous emails that I am lame, I can't walk like average hope to, and, although I could really afford to visit you or anyone in USA there are certain' biomechanical' difficulties I have to consider.


    message to donnn Stockbauer? Hi donnn, how are you doing donnn things going OK donnn how's the wife and kids donnn you'll notice my name is spelled with three n's thatswhat the Apple dictation thinks anyway.
    I had this friend email me and what I didn't know he had slipped from being a friend to not being a friend so instead of emailing me about getting together for supper and all kinds of nice things he started arguing and that's because he decided what
    he wanted to use me for was to argue by email, so you have to be very astute in determining whether a friend has become not a friend , it's very difficult.
    when I was young, I had a flashlight and pointed it at the Big Dipper, and I asked Dad how long will it take the light from this flashlight to get there?

    He said quit wasting the batteries.

    i've had this really annoying itch on my right elbow.

    I agree that emails can be hacked & plausibly be tampered with. I
    was looking for your email & found you as 'Adonis Stockbauer', I
    have no idea if you were being kinky or it was an alt account
    somebody else had set up.

    I'm very quiet generally, so I'm sorry if I haven't had very much
    to say....nothing much has happened since I last wrote, or maybe
    you reply so fast, I'm stumped so have a little less to tell you
    each time you write.

    Yes I agree, global warming is having a massively detrimental
    affect on nature and our world around
    Adonis is my third cousin twice removed.

    If I'm writing too fast, I can adhere now on to Hofstadter's
    tit-for-tat rule, which slows things down and it also ensures if one
    person quits the other person quits also.
    I promise I'll quit posting out of turn.

    My problem is that I get really worried that if I send someone a note
    that they won't return the favor.

    Dear Don,
    I don't know much about complexity, is that like chaos theory ?, but I did listen to the old folks in our family \when asked why they got bald, their answer was " grass never grows where its busy!", such is life, you may
    try too hard to cultivate a patch you really really wanted to cultivate ! and end up with nothing, you may stop calling a recipient an opponent, that really bugs me.
    A message in the post.

    Nicki
    Nicki, just a suggestion that if you do wanna correspondence, go ahead and reply to my messages fairly quickly , if you don't reply to them fairly quickly, it makes it look like you're just never gonna answer again and we'
    re back into that whole thing

    don't let me tell you what to do because I really hate people telling me what to do.
    if you answer me right away, that I know, you're not playing this game of never answering me ever again, and hurting my feelings.
    Who am I to demand when you answer or not
    you just take your time I'll be waiting.
    I'll be waiting for your next message.
    Whether that be a day , a week , a month , a year , 40 years I'll be here for you.
    since you have written such kindly words I have emailed you a link to my blogger, there is quite a lot on there that explains why I'm so often distracted, you're welcome to reply X
    still haven't received the link to your blog.
    No Christmas present for you this year I'm afraid.
    still haven't gotten your link to your blog
    you know , there's some lyrics from a Phil Collins song that I think apply here:

    there must be some misunderstanding.
    There must be some kind of a mistake.
    I waited in the rain for hours
    and you were late.
    1. I sent the link to your hotmail account.
    2. I can't help it if you have run out of notepaper.
    3. I'm never going to write to you again via comp.ai.philosophy
    thank you for the condolences

    I have explained to you in previous emails that I am lame, I can't walk like average hope to, and, although I could really afford to visit you or anyone in USA there are certain' biomechanical' difficulties I have to consider.


    message to donnn Stockbauer? Hi donnn, how are you doing donnn things going OK donnn how's the wife and kids donnn you'll notice my name is spelled with three n's thatswhat the Apple dictation thinks anyway.
    I had this friend email me and what I didn't know he had slipped from being a friend to not being a friend so instead of emailing me about getting together for supper and all kinds of nice things he started arguing and that's because he decided
    what he wanted to use me for was to argue by email, so you have to be very astute in determining whether a friend has become not a friend , it's very difficult.
    when I was young, I had a flashlight and pointed it at the Big Dipper, and I asked Dad how long will it take the light from this flashlight to get there?

    He said quit wasting the batteries.
    i've had this really annoying itch on my right elbow.
    when I was six I got burned really badly I managed to spill hot popcorn, grease from one of those old Timey popcorn, poppers onto my chest third-degree burns wound up in the hospital for a couple of weeks. I remember some kid from the mental ward
    coming down and playing with me , sort of, you know peeked his head in and out of the room when it was time for me to go home from the hospital mom and dad came by with a gift. It was a toy safe which is long gone now. Dad said donnn normally we spank
    you for causing us to spend so much money, but we think you suffered enough he was right
    in fourth grade, I was going down a hill on my bike, and it got away from me and I went over the handlebars to wind up the next day in the hospital with a concussion

    I once sent a message to my penpal and apparently during all the paths it took getting to her somebody hated me and they changed my wording around so that my penpal read it with those words and said "I quit" , really heartbreaking but what can you do?
    We're in the new modern age where conversation comes from a distance instead of the person next to you .

    Dear Don,
    I don't know much about complexity, is that like chaos theory ?, but I did listen to the old folks in our family \when asked why they got bald, their answer was " grass never grows where its busy!", such is life, you
    may try too hard to cultivate a patch you really really wanted to cultivate ! and end up with nothing, you may stop calling a recipient an opponent, that really bugs me.
    A message in the post.

    Nicki
    Nicki, just a suggestion that if you do wanna correspondence, go ahead and reply to my messages fairly quickly , if you don't reply to them fairly quickly, it makes it look like you're just never gonna answer again and
    we're back into that whole thing

    don't let me tell you what to do because I really hate people telling me what to do.
    if you answer me right away, that I know, you're not playing this game of never answering me ever again, and hurting my feelings.
    Who am I to demand when you answer or not
    you just take your time I'll be waiting.
    I'll be waiting for your next message.
    Whether that be a day , a week , a month , a year , 40 years I'll be here for you.
    since you have written such kindly words I have emailed you a link to my blogger, there is quite a lot on there that explains why I'm so often distracted, you're welcome to reply X

    I have explained to you in previous emails that I am lame, I can't walk like average hope to, and, although I could really afford to visit you or anyone in USA there are certain' biomechanical' difficulties I have to consider.


    message to donnn Stockbauer? Hi donnn, how are you doing donnn things going OK donnn how's the wife and kids donnn you'll notice my name is spelled with three n's thatswhat the Apple dictation thinks anyway.
    I had this friend email me and what I didn't know he had slipped from being a friend to not being a friend so instead of emailing me about getting together for supper and all kinds of nice things he started arguing and that's because he
    decided what he wanted to use me for was to argue by email, so you have to be very astute in determining whether a friend has become not a friend , it's very difficult.
    when I was young, I had a flashlight and pointed it at the Big Dipper, and I asked Dad how long will it take the light from this flashlight to get there?

    He said quit wasting the batteries.
    i've had this really annoying itch on my right elbow.
    when I was six I got burned really badly I managed to spill hot popcorn, grease from one of those old Timey popcorn, poppers onto my chest third-degree burns wound up in the hospital for a couple of weeks. I remember some kid from the mental ward
    coming down and playing with me , sort of, you know peeked his head in and out of the room when it was time for me to go home from the hospital mom and dad came by with a gift. It was a toy safe which is long gone now. Dad said donnn normally we spank
    you for causing us to spend so much money, but we think you suffered enough he was right
    in fourth grade, I was going down a hill on my bike, and it got away from me and I went over the handlebars to wind up the next day in the hospital with a concussion
    i i'm i'm okp

    The first computer, I could actually get to program was a Control Data Corporation, 66/6400 series at the university of Texas at Austin. This was back in 1974. We had to use punchcards , they had a Jacquard loom in one of the buildings
    I once sent a message to my penpal and apparently during all the paths it took getting to her somebody hated me and they changed my wording around so that my penpal read it with those words and said "I quit" , really heartbreaking but what can you do?
    We're in the new modern age where conversation comes from a distance instead of the person next to you .

    when I was in Tennessee, my friend and I went to tour the Jack Daniels distillery, but they couldn't give us samples because it's in a dry county. If you can believe that.

    DO NOT rag the posters too much they have intelligent things to

    I agree that emails can be hacked & plausibly be tampered with. I
    was looking for your email & found you as 'Adonis Stockbauer', I
    have no idea if you were being kinky or it was an alt account
    somebody else had set up.

    I'm very quiet generally, so I'm sorry if I haven't had very much
    to say....nothing much has happened since I last wrote, or maybe
    you reply so fast, I'm stumped so have a little less to tell you
    each time you write.

    Yes I agree, global warming is having a massively detrimental
    affect on nature and our world around
    Adonis is my third cousin twice removed.

    If I'm writing too fast, I can adhere now on to Hofstadter's
    tit-for-tat rule, which slows things down and it also ensures if one
    person quits the other person quits also.
    I promise I'll quit posting out of turn.

    My problem is that I get really worried that if I send someone a note
    that they won't return the favor.

    Dear Don,
    I don't know much about complexity, is that like chaos theory ?, but I did listen to the old folks in our family \when asked why they got bald, their answer was " grass never grows where its busy!", such is
    life, you may try too hard to cultivate a patch you really really wanted to cultivate ! and end up with nothing, you may stop calling a recipient an opponent, that really bugs me.
    A message in the post.

    Nicki
    Nicki, just a suggestion that if you do wanna correspondence, go ahead and reply to my messages fairly quickly , if you don't reply to them fairly quickly, it makes it look like you're just never gonna answer
    again and we're back into that whole thing

    don't let me tell you what to do because I really hate people telling me what to do.
    if you answer me right away, that I know, you're not playing this game of never answering me ever again, and hurting my feelings.
    Who am I to demand when you answer or not
    you just take your time I'll be waiting. I'll be waiting for your next message. Whether that be a day , a week , a month , a year , 40 years I'll be here for you.
    since you have written such kindly words I have emailed you a link to my blogger, there is quite a lot on there that explains why I'm so often distracted, you're welcome to reply X
    still haven't received the link to your blog.
    No Christmas present for you this year I'm afraid.
    still haven't gotten your link to your blog you know , there's some lyrics from a Phil Collins song that I think apply here:

    there must be some misunderstanding.
    There must be some kind of a mistake.
    I waited in the rain for hours
    and you were late.
    1. I sent the link to your hotmail account.
    2. I can't help it if you have run out of notepaper.
    3. I'm never going to write to you again via comp.ai.philosophy
    thank you for the condolences

    I have explained to you in previous emails that I am lame, I can't walk like average hope to, and, although I could really afford to visit you or anyone in USA there are certain' biomechanical' difficulties I have to consider.


    message to donnn Stockbauer? Hi donnn, how are you doing donnn things going OK donnn how's the wife and kids donnn you'll notice my name is spelled with three n's thatswhat the Apple dictation thinks anyway.
    I had this friend email me and what I didn't know he had slipped from being a friend to not being a friend so instead of emailing me about getting together for supper and all kinds of nice things he started arguing and that's because
    he decided what he wanted to use me for was to argue by email, so you have to be very astute in determining whether a friend has become not a friend , it's very difficult.
    when I was young, I had a flashlight and pointed it at the Big Dipper, and I asked Dad how long will it take the light from this flashlight to get there?

    He said quit wasting the batteries.
    i've had this really annoying itch on my right elbow.
    when I was six I got burned really badly I managed to spill hot popcorn, grease from one of those old Timey popcorn, poppers onto my chest third-degree burns wound up in the hospital for a couple of weeks. I remember some kid from the
    mental ward coming down and playing with me , sort of, you know peeked his head in and out of the room when it was time for me to go home from the hospital mom and dad came by with a gift. It was a toy safe which is long gone now. Dad said donnn normally
    we spank you for causing us to spend so much money, but we think you suffered enough he was right
    in fourth grade, I was going down a hill on my bike, and it got away from me and I went over the handlebars to wind up the next day in the hospital with a concussion
    i i'm i'm okp

    The first computer, I could actually get to program was a Control Data Corporation, 66/6400 series at the university of Texas at Austin. This was back in 1974. We had to use punchcards , they had a Jacquard loom in one of the buildings
    I once sent a message to my penpal and apparently during all the paths it took getting to her somebody hated me and they changed my wording around so that my penpal read it with those words and said "I quit" , really heartbreaking but what can
    you do? We're in the new modern age where conversation comes from a distance instead of the person next to you .
    when I was in Tennessee, my friend and I went to tour the Jack Daniels distillery, but they couldn't give us samples because it's in a dry county. If you can believe that.
    My father was heavily into raising pecans.
    At one time we had a horse out on the ranch here called Danby. It belonged to my sister. It's long gone now, but my father never liked it. He was always afraid it would step on a calf.

    I was working at an auto parts store one time and a fellow came in and said "I want a ram for my truck." I said "You want a what?" He said "I want a ram , you know , a ram. The tire goes on the ram"

    Dear Don,
    I don't know much about complexity, is that like chaos theory ?, but I did listen to the old folks in our family \when asked why they got bald, their answer was " grass never grows where its busy!", such is
    life, you may try too hard to cultivate a patch you really really wanted to cultivate ! and end up with nothing, you may stop calling a recipient an opponent, that really bugs me.
    A message in the post.

    Nicki
    Nicki, just a suggestion that if you do wanna correspondence, go ahead and reply to my messages fairly quickly , if you don't reply to them fairly quickly, it makes it look like you're just never gonna answer
    again and we're back into that whole thing

    don't let me tell you what to do because I really hate people telling me what to do.
    if you answer me right away, that I know, you're not playing this game of never answering me ever again, and hurting my feelings.
    Who am I to demand when you answer or not
    you just take your time I'll be waiting.
    I'll be waiting for your next message.
    Whether that be a day , a week , a month , a year , 40 years I'll be here for you.
    since you have written such kindly words I have emailed you a link to my blogger, there is quite a lot on there that explains why I'm so often distracted, you're welcome to reply X
    still haven't received the link to your blog.
    No Christmas present for you this year I'm afraid.
    still haven't gotten your link to your blog
    you know , there's some lyrics from a Phil Collins song that I think apply here:

    there must be some misunderstanding.
    There must be some kind of a mistake.
    I waited in the rain for hours
    and you were late.
    1. I sent the link to your hotmail account. 2. I can't help it if you have run out of notepaper.

    I have explained to you in previous emails that I am lame, I can't walk like average hope to, and, although I could really afford to visit you or anyone in USA there are certain' biomechanical' difficulties I have to consider.


    message to donnn Stockbauer? Hi donnn, how are you doing donnn things going OK donnn how's the wife and kids donnn you'll notice my name is spelled with three n's thatswhat the Apple dictation thinks anyway.
    I had this friend email me and what I didn't know he had slipped from being a friend to not being a friend so instead of emailing me about getting together for supper and all kinds of nice things he started arguing and that's
    because he decided what he wanted to use me for was to argue by email, so you have to be very astute in determining whether a friend has become not a friend , it's very difficult.
    when I was young, I had a flashlight and pointed it at the Big Dipper, and I asked Dad how long will it take the light from this flashlight to get there?

    He said quit wasting the batteries.
    i've had this really annoying itch on my right elbow.
    when I was six I got burned really badly I managed to spill hot popcorn, grease from one of those old Timey popcorn, poppers onto my chest third-degree burns wound up in the hospital for a couple of weeks. I remember some kid from the
    mental ward coming down and playing with me , sort of, you know peeked his head in and out of the room when it was time for me to go home from the hospital mom and dad came by with a gift. It was a toy safe which is long gone now. Dad said donnn normally
    we spank you for causing us to spend so much money, but we think you suffered enough he was right
    in fourth grade, I was going down a hill on my bike, and it got away from me and I went over the handlebars to wind up the next day in the hospital with a concussion
    i i'm i'm okp

    The first computer, I could actually get to program was a Control Data Corporation, 66/6400 series at the university of Texas at Austin. This was back in 1974. We had to use punchcards , they had a Jacquard loom in one of the buildings
    I once sent a message to my penpal and apparently during all the paths it took getting to her somebody hated me and they changed my wording around so that my penpal read it with those words and said "I quit" , really heartbreaking but what
    can you do? We're in the new modern age where conversation comes from a distance instead of the person next to you .
    when I was in Tennessee, my friend and I went to tour the Jack Daniels distillery, but they couldn't give us samples because it's in a dry county. If you can believe that.
    My father was heavily into raising pecans.
    At one time we had a horse out on the ranch here called Danby. It belonged to my sister. It's long gone now, but my father never liked it. He was always afraid it would step on a calf.
    I was working at an auto parts store one time and a fellow came in and said "I want a ram for my truck." I said "You want a what?" He said "I want a ram , you know , a ram. The tire goes on the ram"
    I like this bit of Fortran:

    5 continue
    we're caught in a trap
    I can't walk out
    because I love you too much ,baby
    go to 5


    Don't you think it's kind of snotty for me to hog this thread this way?

    because he decided what he wanted to use me for was to argue by email, so you have to be very astute in determining whether a friend has become not a friend , it's very difficult.
    when I was young, I had a flashlight and pointed it at the Big Dipper, and I asked Dad how long will it take the light from this flashlight to get there?

    He said quit wasting the batteries.
    i've had this really annoying itch on my right elbow.
    when I was six I got burned really badly I managed to spill hot popcorn, grease from one of those old Timey popcorn, poppers onto my chest third-degree burns wound up in the hospital for a couple of weeks. I remember some kid from
    the mental ward coming down and playing with me , sort of, you know peeked his head in and out of the room when it was time for me to go home from the hospital mom and dad came by with a gift. It was a toy safe which is long gone now. Dad said donnn
    normally we spank you for causing us to spend so much money, but we think you suffered enough he was right
    in fourth grade, I was going down a hill on my bike, and it got away from me and I went over the handlebars to wind up the next day in the hospital with a concussion
    i i'm i'm okp

    The first computer, I could actually get to program was a Control Data Corporation, 66/6400 series at the university of Texas at Austin. This was back in 1974. We had to use punchcards , they had a Jacquard loom in one of the buildings
    I once sent a message to my penpal and apparently during all the paths it took getting to her somebody hated me and they changed my wording around so that my penpal read it with those words and said "I quit" , really heartbreaking but
    what can you do? We're in the new modern age where conversation comes from a distance instead of the person next to you .
    when I was in Tennessee, my friend and I went to tour the Jack Daniels distillery, but they couldn't give us samples because it's in a dry county. If you can believe that.
    My father was heavily into raising pecans.
    At one time we had a horse out on the ranch here called Danby. It belonged to my sister. It's long gone now, but my father never liked it. He was always afraid it would step on a calf.
    I was working at an auto parts store one time and a fellow came in and said "I want a ram for my truck." I said "You want a what?" He said "I want a ram , you know , a ram. The tire goes on the ram"
    I like this bit of Fortran:

    5 continue
    we're caught in a trap
    I can't walk out
    because I love you too much ,baby
    go to 5
    Don't you think it's kind of snotty for me to hog this thread this way?
    how many stories do you think each of us has in us? probably pretty big, right?

    So how many stories does each of us have in us?
    I bet it's the same number as the number of things that are not a painting of a pipe in Magritte's painting "this is not a pipe."

    until I'm in the mood, I have to move again soonish ....so maybe
    snail-mail suits best , huh !
    DO NOT rag the posters too much they have intelligent things to
    write for, like giving very impressive CV's, I've posted on
    Google Groups for nearly 20 years so I'm used to some writers,
    lots who are or were students & now moved on.
    I agree that emails can be hacked & plausibly be tampered with. I
    was looking for your email & found you as 'Adonis Stockbauer', I
    have no idea if you were being kinky or it was an alt account
    somebody else had set up.

    I'm very quiet generally, so I'm sorry if I haven't had very much
    to say....nothing much has happened since I last wrote, or maybe
    you reply so fast, I'm stumped so have a little less to tell you
    each time you write.

    Yes I agree, global warming is having a massively detrimental
    affect on nature and our world around
    Adonis is my third cousin twice removed.

    If I'm writing too fast, I can adhere now on to Hofstadter's
    tit-for-tat rule, which slows things down and it also ensures if one
    person quits the other person quits also.
    I promise I'll quit posting out of turn.

    My problem is that I get really worried that if I send someone a note
    that they won't return the favor.

    Dear Don,
    I don't know much about complexity, is that like chaos theory ?, but I did listen to the old folks in our family \when asked why they got bald, their answer was " grass never grows where its busy!",
    such is life, you may try too hard to cultivate a patch you really really wanted to cultivate ! and end up with nothing, you may stop calling a recipient an opponent, that really bugs me.
    A message in the post.

    Nicki
    Nicki, just a suggestion that if you do wanna correspondence, go ahead and reply to my messages fairly quickly , if you don't reply to them fairly quickly, it makes it look like you're just never gonna
    answer again and we're back into that whole thing

    don't let me tell you what to do because I really hate people telling me what to do.
    if you answer me right away, that I know, you're not playing this game of never answering me ever again, and hurting my feelings.
    Who am I to demand when you answer or not
    you just take your time I'll be waiting.
    I'll be waiting for your next message.
    Whether that be a day , a week , a month , a year , 40 years I'll be here for you.
    since you have written such kindly words I have emailed you a link to my blogger, there is quite a lot on there that explains why I'm so often distracted, you're welcome to reply X
    still haven't received the link to your blog.
    No Christmas present for you this year I'm afraid.
    still haven't gotten your link to your blog
    you know , there's some lyrics from a Phil Collins song that I think apply here:

    there must be some misunderstanding. There must be some kind of a mistake.
    I waited in the rain for hours
    and you were late.
    1. I sent the link to your hotmail account.
    2. I can't help it if you have run out of notepaper.
    3. I'm never going to write to you again via comp.ai.philosophy
    thank you for the condolences

    I bet it's the same number as the number of other things in Magritte's painting titled "This is not a pipe " that are not a pipe because it's a painting of a pipe , not a pipe , so how many other things it is the painting not , like it's not a camera ,
    it's not an electron , it's not a Mercedes-Benz ; it's not just a whole bunch of things.

    Can you say "indeterminate"?

    Don't you think it's kind of snotty for me to hog this thread this way?
    how many stories do you think each of us has in us? probably pretty big, right?
    So how many stories does each of us have in us?
    I bet it's the same number as the number of things that are not a painting of a pipe in Magritte's painting "this is not a pipe."
    I got that a little bit wrong. It should really read :

    How many stories does each of us have in us?

    I bet it's the same number as the number of other things in Magritte's painting titled "This is not a pipe " that are not a pipe because it's a painting of a pipe , not a pipe , so how many other things it is the painting not , like it's not a camera ,
    it's not an electron , it's not a Mercedes-Benz ; it's not just a whole bunch of things.

    Can you say "indeterminate"?

    what's a girl to do? If no one talks to you, you have to Babylon to yourself

    Nicki, just a suggestion that if you do wanna correspondence, go ahead and reply to my messages fairly quickly , if you don't reply to them fairly quickly, it makes it look like you're just never gonna answer again and we're back into
    that whole thing

    don't let me tell you what to do because I really hate people telling me what to do.
    if you answer me right away, that I know, you're not playing this game of never answering me ever again, and hurting my feelings.
    Who am I to demand when you answer or not
    you just take your time I'll be waiting.
    I'll be waiting for your next message.
    Whether that be a day , a week , a month , a year , 40 years I'll be here for you.

    still haven't received the link to your blog.
    No Christmas present for you this year I'm afraid.

    Dear Don,
    I don't know much about complexity, is that like chaos theory ?, but I did listen to the old folks in our family \when asked why they got bald, their answer was " grass never grows where its busy!", such is life, you may try
    too hard to cultivate a patch you really really wanted to cultivate ! and end up with nothing, you may stop calling a recipient an opponent, that really bugs me.
    A message in the post.

    Nicki
    Nicki, just a suggestion that if you do wanna correspondence, go ahead and reply to my messages fairly quickly , if you don't reply to them fairly quickly, it makes it look like you're just never gonna answer again and we're
    back into that whole thing

    don't let me tell you what to do because I really hate people telling me what to do.
    if you answer me right away, that I know, you're not playing this game of never answering me ever again, and hurting my feelings.
    Who am I to demand when you answer or not
    you just take your time I'll be waiting.
    I'll be waiting for your next message.
    Whether that be a day , a week , a month , a year , 40 years I'll be here for you.
    since you have written such kindly words I have emailed you a link to my blogger, there is quite a lot on there that explains why I'm so often distracted, you're welcome to reply X
    still haven't received the link to your blog.
    No Christmas present for you this year I'm afraid.
    still haven't gotten your link to your blog
    you know , there's some lyrics from a Phil Collins song that I think apply here:

    there must be some misunderstanding.
    There must be some kind of a mistake.
    I waited in the rain for hours
    and you were late.
    1. I sent the link to your hotmail account.
    2. I can't help it if you have run out of notepaper.
    3. I'm never going to write to you again via comp.ai.philosophy
    thank you for the condolences

    I have explained to you in previous emails that I am lame, I can't walk like average hope to, and, although I could really afford to visit you or anyone in USA there are certain' biomechanical' difficulties I have to consider.

    is a message to donnn stock Brower, the same as Edgar Allan Poe's message found in a bottle? Boy that was a really creepy story. It's typical of most stories people tell one another is completely unfeasible. It's fiction and it rots peoples minds
    making them unable to do anything else useful for humanity.
    hey, I just thought I would post this in order to further clutter up the Internet, kind of like a sewer system that's never cleaned out so that eventually it becomes useless and everyone dies.
    is a message for DonStockbauer kind of like call for Philip Morris?

    hey, I just thought I would post this in order to further clutter up the Internet, kind of like a sewer system that's never cleaned out so that eventually it becomes useless and everyone dies.
    is a message for DonStockbauer kind of like call for Philip Morris?

    "I have nothing to say, and I am saying it now."

    – John Cage
    John Cage once wrote a piano composition titled "four minutes 33 seconds " and it consisted of four minutes and 33 seconds of silence if you multiply it out 4×60+33 that equals 273 , the temperature of absolute zero

    have you ever received a condolence card concerning someone in your family who has died and the card comes from someone that you don't remember telling about the death because you have short term memory loss, so you don't know if that person got the
    information from you telling her, and you just forgetting about it or perhaps she saw it in the public obituaries now available on the Internet worldwide and since you're not on speaking terms with the person who sent you the condolence, you'll just
    never know, but that's OK because there's all kind of things a person can never know.

    I agree that emails can be hacked & plausibly be tampered with. I
    was looking for your email & found you as 'Adonis Stockbauer', I
    have no idea if you were being kinky or it was an alt account
    somebody else had set up.

    I'm very quiet generally, so I'm sorry if I haven't had very much
    to say....nothing much has happened since I last wrote, or maybe
    you reply so fast, I'm stumped so have a little less to tell you
    each time you write.

    Yes I agree, global warming is having a massively detrimental
    affect on nature and our world around
    Adonis is my third cousin twice removed.

    If I'm writing too fast, I can adhere now on to Hofstadter's
    tit-for-tat rule, which slows things down and it also ensures if one
    person quits the other person quits also.
    I promise I'll quit posting out of turn.

    My problem is that I get really worried that if I send someone a note
    that they won't return the favor.

    This sounds like a job for soc.penpals , Don:

    Dear Don,
    I don't know much about complexity, is that like chaos theory ?, but I did listen to the old folks in our family \when asked why they got bald, their answer was " grass never grows where its busy!", such is life, you
    may try too hard to cultivate a patch you really really wanted to cultivate ! and end up with nothing, you may stop calling a recipient an opponent, that really bugs me.
    A message in the post.

    Nicki
    Nicki, just a suggestion that if you do wanna correspondence, go ahead and reply to my messages fairly quickly , if you don't reply to them fairly quickly, it makes it look like you're just never gonna answer again and
    we're back into that whole thing

    don't let me tell you what to do because I really hate people telling me what to do.
    if you answer me right away, that I know, you're not playing this game of never answering me ever again, and hurting my feelings.
    Who am I to demand when you answer or not
    you just take your time I'll be waiting.
    I'll be waiting for your next message.
    Whether that be a day , a week , a month , a year , 40 years I'll be here for you.
    since you have written such kindly words I have emailed you a link to my blogger, there is quite a lot on there that explains why I'm so often distracted, you're welcome to reply X
    still haven't received the link to your blog.
    No Christmas present for you this year I'm afraid.
    still haven't gotten your link to your blog
    you know , there's some lyrics from a Phil Collins song that I think apply here:

    there must be some misunderstanding.
    There must be some kind of a mistake.
    I waited in the rain for hours
    and you were late.
    1. I sent the link to your hotmail account.
    2. I can't help it if you have run out of notepaper.
    3. I'm never going to write to you again via comp.ai.philosophy
    thank you for the condolences

    do you think it's possible to send someone an email and then it's intercepted on the way to your recipient and somebody maliciously puts text into the email that destroys your relationship with the person you were mailing the email to?

    Are you being a little bit paranoid Don ? why would anybody want to cause harassment or interfere in your public communiques?
    I sent you a condolences because you wrote online (message +50) that your brother had died, if you got along or not, its somebody you found interesting & you had shared memories, so I'm sorry for that. Why, with an intelligence as yours haven't you
    written something pertaining to philosophy of comp AI ?
    Do or did I think email & private data can be snatched at will by a secret organisation or perpretrator ? probably, but theres no clue to discover why....is there.
    Can you stop using your voice activated secretary & write via you keyboard? for a start it can't spell the difference betweet riding & writing, who knows maybe one day the only way we could say if a message is from a human hand ie brain, & artificial one
    is those spellings, lol
