Eric:
Actually, I was responding to Gil's quoting Weick ("How can I know
what I think until I hear what I say?" ). Now, I would have done so
privately were it not that I sense that some outdated or overturned
psychology and linguistics may have crept into our debates. To be
honest, I have not been able to keep up with all the posts and
thereby
risk shooting from the hip.
I am just rather desparately trying to do my part of the job (the
site, the transcripts) while continually trying to keep up with
things
(and try to verify when that seems called for) . One thing that
somehow needs doing is to provide some sort of "mental access" into
the debate for newcomers and those who have lost their way. This may
well become a problem for users of DKRs and hence a design problem to
be tackled as well (if you haven't already given this thought).
On a more personal note, I regret the way I first posted in the
"Atomic structure thread." I should have allowed myself more time to
read the whole thread before reacting the way I did. But then again,
I
am between a rock and a hard place for my life - what with family
concerns, etc, - hardly permits me to be always careful. To be sure,
I
am a tremendous admirer of your talent and knowledge, and of that of
others, and I certainly do not wish to throw superfluous verbage
around. Judgment can be so chancey.
Please accept my apologies if I sometimes go off the beam.
Henry
P.S. This message was mailed yesterday and returned because
"Connection timed out with mx3.egroups.com." Then again more half an
hour ago and had still not arrived. This time it goes straight to
unrev-II. Hope you won't see it twice.
All of which kind of puts things out of sync and thereby
misunderstandings. H.
