that´s just completely untrue. but it is very hard with this medium because
you can´t see your interlocuters. on the former list, any serious debate
was being derailed by that Hawk with the usual idiocies that Hawks come out
with. I think that my opinion is worth something, but you obviously
consider it to be worthless per se, which is why I refuse to take you
seriously. I think that you want someone, perhaps Oxford University or the
British Museum to pass you a little note reading, ´yes Murphy´s worth
listening to, he knows Prof X and has sipped wine with Prof Z´. These are
the people you listen to, after that ratification is over you can then
listen to them. Personally speaking, I think I´m better for the page, for
thought composed and studied, not off the record or cuff statements that
maybe aren´t particularly tied down, but maybe that reflects a
misunderstanding of the purposes of this list? PM
