Next message: IRVINE Richard: "Re: Principles and Being Practical"
Peter-
<Some weeks ago I posted my go at one
current Silicon Sea exercise and then details of a problem I was having with
the one before, and I have yet to hear a peep from any expert.>
I confess that I don't keep or scrutinize everything. Thus list is recreational reading (intelluctual curiousity only) for me and when a subject gets complex, obtuse, or simply into an area I don't have any concern with, I skip over it. Practicing my math is something I also don't do unless I'm bright and cheery eyed. I'm not licensed to practice math in most states and certainly not in Oz.<G>
But looking at my deleted files, the only one I still find from you re Silicon Sea 88 was one dated August 13th 16:00+10 and that one simply was a posting of the Silicon Sea questions plus answers. I didn't see any cover note, any query, anything at all besides a posting of a post.
I know some folks have their email software set up to quote any message they are responding to, and I often see a "quote of a quote" with nothing else on a mailing list. I presume when that happens--when the entire message body is shown as a quote of another message, with no extra original content--that the sender has accidentally hit a SEND key, and I delete the message without further study.
If that's the message you are speaking of, perhaps everyone ignored it because it was just a Q&A, with no question put forward attached to it?
