X-Message-Number: 16547 Date: Fri, 15 Jun 2001 04:03:38 -0400 From: <> Subject: Re: Research strategy and purpose (re: message 16336) References: <> Hi Professor Ettinger, I really admire your temperance, your honesty, and your focus on actually getting something done as opposed to endlessly discussing it. I also admire your ability to let bygones be bygones, and to ignore any impulses to try to get in the last word. Perhaps by and by i can learn from your example. However in this particular case i posted because i feel uncomfortable about these 3 points that i mentioned just hanging there. It's hard for me not to address them systematically and individually. I sent a CC to you, Dr. Pichugin, and Charles just as a matter of courtesy since you're directly referred to. I also sent a copy to David P because of his prominence in 16336. But if the effect of what i do is to draw you, or Dr. Pichugin, or anybody else into an extended argument which doesn't reveal anything new, then i had better hold my peace. I hope i can manage this responsibly. dan Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=16547
