thanxx doug & jesper for this candor
i appreciate it that you are giving & doing your level best
so i agree it is i who must redouble my efforts to be clear
first i dont really mean to be so demanding of your best attention
it is just that some things do require more attention than others
like it is just in the nature of fun & games to multiply this requirement
& such things happen to be the things i like best as well as my whole reason for being here with you
as i have been signaling as best i could since message 4
& frankly i am having too much fun to mind missing most of my supposedly potential audience
because this is a format in which everything is optional anyway
& i realize that the stuff i am most interested in just doesnt interest most people
this isnt a problem for me & i wish it wont be for you or anyone else either
& no defense needed since i am not offended by your incomprehension
so please dont be offended by my incomprehensibility either
& just consider my scribblings highly optional like everything else here
but if you are ever in doubt please know that i am obeying not gravity but only the law of levity
er & if there really was any doubt
the other great list i was referring to is not a yahoo group but the international boundaries list of the university of durham
with best wishes

>I agree with Jesper -- while it is wonderful to be unique and I wholly endorse that, when great thoughts are hard to read, well, it's often easier not to read them. A lesson I learned from working in television: never make your audience work. Also bear in mind that for a great many folks on this site English is not a first language.

> But Mike, boundary freak to boundary freak. I think I can tell you this with no hard feelings involved: It's not the first time I have lost you. And I know many other BP-members also cannot follow your postings. We often try hard to figure out what you mean, but we simply give up trying to decepher your artistic impressions. You have full right to use and defend your special writing style, but sadly you loose a great audience.
