Hi David,
I only refered the wa-wa pedals when down. When it makes that harsh "Shaft"
sound". OK, even those are back...
As to family resemblances, it works for games. I'm not quite sure for
disciplines. There is allways two points of view in disciplines: the
master's and the disciple's...
Flushing Wittgenstein? Impossible.
Also Poper keeps poping up.
Best regards,
Eduardo
