Reply #251: I am about half way through your dissertation (that's a book's worth!) [View All]

and I'm fascinated and pleased. While I think you have something of a bias towards DU if only for our technical advantages, you have been balanced and taught me a lot about a site I don't go to for a number of reasons. The format hurts my head almost as much as the philosophy. Another reason I don't go there is I've heard too often that we are two sides of the same coin and man, that grated on me. But, in a manner, your thesis shows that to be somewhat true, at least in certain aspects. Our pithy contests, our teasing of trolls and a few other things that escape the mind right now. I'm sure I'll have more to say when I finish you thesis, as I in fact will.

Thank you for sharing. I'm guessing you shared this with Free Republic as well? I'd actually like to know. Seems like a perfect bridging opportunity as you referenced in your thesis.

And lastly, if they don't have the option to edit after submission, that alone could account for a lot of the spelling errors we tease them about. I can't count the number of times I've posted something, reread it, and then quickly edited for spelling.

Thank you again!
