Hi Desmond - Yep, that was me. Or at least, someone else talking about
me. It's the difference between dialogue and monologue, I guess:
meaning conversation, which can be fruitful or not, depending. Which
is why I think civility is a good idea, as in creating a polity. But
now I'm sounding poncy and there's a table in the next room groaning
with delicious food and I feel obliged to relieve its burden - xA
