Dear Henry
By the tone of your response and the use of capitals to emphasise I have
clearly upset you. This was not my intention. I simply wanted to learn or
understand more clearly the reasoning behind the comments you made. That is,
after all, what I thought the mailing list is all about. Thanks for the
invite to Queensland. I do not think the climate would suit a cold blooded
Northern European and I am pleased to say my undergrad days are well behind
me.
I can see you are angry over making these clarifications and it is because I
do not know what you are thinking, that I asked for them. The overall
impression I got from you message was that electro was uninspiring as a
student, you are in a transitional stage regarding thie modality partly
helped by working with Chiros. I sought your thoughts on this and gave you
some of my own.
The mailing list sometimes requires you to substantiate your writings. If
you do not want to, or can't, no problem. Generally chill Henry. Your recent
input has been prolific, so please expect some comment. Perhaps discussing
what 'we do or believe' is how we learn. If we do not what is the purpose of
the list?. I am surprised you feel these matters unimportant and clarifying
issues around your statements regarding electro and chiros a waste of time.
What were you hoping to get from your responses?
Regards Kevin.
