[MD] A Cup of Intellect

[ian glendinning]

Point of order Ant.

The "few well edited posts" environment is surely intended to be MoQ.Focus ?

As I said elsewhere here, some of the MD dialogue adds value to the
MoQ but most doesn't, just part of the process of understanding. The
value (to me) is in the living dialogue though. You as an "expert" may
find few new insights, but I find plenty. (I have made proposals
before for a wider "general interest" vehicle for promoting MoQ,
distinct from learned discourse ... we need both.)

My post-rate hase been high the last few days, coming back after
almost 2 weeks with no post, and catching up on threads of interest
... it will level off again.
