Hi marcos,

Sorry for the delay. I've been out in the yard, manicly planting bulbs. It's gonna be a dahlia kinda summer around here.

You make a good point about this medium not allowing for the more subtle features of communication, like tone of voice and facial expression. Having just come through an unpleasant multi-day discussion about contemptuousness WRT religious belief, I'm going to be sitting out the next few rounds. I think Solon made a great point the other day about the asymmetricality of discussion between those who have faith and those who are secular.
