[FRIAM] [dis]integrated

[uǝlƃ ☤>$]

Well, similar to your "why must I mean all that" reaction to my past attempt at some kind of state space reconstruction of a pithy post from you, I can construct *many* generative models for your "Matters to what/whom?" post. But if it'll simply end with another pithy rejection of whatever I reconstruct, it feels like a waste of time. It's safe to assume I'm never on the same wavelength. The problem with communication is the illusion that it exists.

I could make yet another post to the mailing list asking "what does that mean?" ... but that's not optimal because: a) you don't retain message threading and don't quote much of the prior content and b) email fora are not chat, as I've argued a lot before and don't need to argue again. So, chatty posts to fora like FriAM exhibit a misunderstanding of what email fora (or usenet etc) are and what they're fit-to-purpose usage patterns facilitate.

I feel like it might be appropriate to have a Discord or IRC channel for pithy chat. It might be appealing to those who also like the Zoom meetings or maybe even the in person meetings at the coffee shop. But those are less interesting to me. I post here because I like contextually laden posts. I give SteveS a lot of guff for his bloviating posts. 8^D But I like them. Both he and EricS make full posts and tend toward less chatty, witty repartee.
