I think it is knowing when to stop.  I get into these discussions with
dmb that I call "dmb's uncoupling".  They tend to get very silly and
opinionated.  I think dmb likes this kind of thing, because he does it
to others.  I find it entertaining, and can't take it personally.  I
think that Marsha brings up some good ideas, and I learn from her.
Trying to pin down the details is sometimes difficult.  We each have
our own demons.

I think that the jury is still out on Quality = Morality.  I think it
is more Values.  Maybe it is all the same thing.

The tiny little Nows I like too.  Sometimes I get this great idea that
I play around with for a while.  It makes me happy.  But, I am not
hard to please.  Like a kid in a candy shop.  Don't know if you have
that saying in Scandinavia (that is where you are right?).
