Re: Chris Roberts responds to the sound of a bell and expects a scoobie snack

Tim,

 I'm not talking about apathy, but my ideas, it seem, show up as that from
your perspective... Comparing someones input into a mailing list and the
process of electing a president seems a bit of a stretch for me, but if
you view Mark's disparagging(sp?) remarks as equivilent to electing a 
political
official, then I can see why you would be so passionate in your repsonse...
I guess this brings up how our responses are dictacted by the level of 
importance
we give the 'event'... which helps me to clarify what I am saying, ignoring
someones negative comments, by simply seeing them as thier opinion, and
not feeling the need to change thier opinion, is freeing... we don't end
up exercising all these negative feelings in responding... we have more
time to do what we enjoy, and well, we would certainly have more time to
give to more important (from my perspective) issues such as electing 
political
officials, or, in the context of this email list, discussing looping...
:)
