You have no messages on the list at all that I can find. Make sure you use
reply to all (or add Interact@KeelyNet.com to the recipient list), if you want
your replies to show up on that list, otherwise only the author of the message
will get a reply, and no one else will see your questions or input other than
that one person. I agree with your comments on formal education. Sometimes
the information is just drilled into people's heads, and after a while they
stop asking questions and trying to figure out how the information was
derived. This can damage people's free thinking ability. On the other hand,
much of the information taught would definitely be helpful, and I definitely
would not mind taking a class with someone like Steven Hawkings ...<g>. As
long as people keep an open mind then there is still hope. Anyway I am off to
watch the Red Sox game on the tube, so I will talk to you later.
