happythoughts 0 #1 October 9, 2007 Socrates once said that we must define our terms before any discussion. I've been reading posts about where "everyone" does this while "everyone else" is doing that. So, you see, my problem is definitional. My terms are a little murky. Doesn't "everyone" include everybody? So, who is "everyone else"? Aren't they part of everybody? And, if so, how did they sneak in? They were excluded just a minute ago. It's like a giant one-sided social Mobius strip. Anyway, I need to figure out who I am/am not talking to, before I can continue. Help would be greatly appreciated from anyone else.

Are you trying to talk to everyone or everyone else? That'll tell me whether you are or are not talking to me. Blues, Dave I thought it out and decided that it would take too long to talk to everyone. So, I decided to talk to everyone else first. However, I don't want you to feel left out if I talk to everyone else first. I'll get back to you shortly. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

happythoughts 0 #10 October 9, 2007 Quote I really like the thread and I like the title but can somenone of everybody or even someone of everybody else explain the connection between title and thread? "terminal velocity" a commonly used skydiving phrase. "terminal" a discussion of terms. "viscosity" the gooey (sometimes opaque) thickness of some fluids (and in this case, words). I was educated beyond my intelligence, so I just randomly apply words as I enjoy. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
