[MD] Apologies for Dropped Threads

[Ian Glendinning]

Matt, wow, we're back to very long mails again ...
Not ignoring it, but I may be some time ... just a quickie ...

Yes I did see that you had imparted that view (it was part of my
original summary), yet some Dave / Steve / ?still seemed (to me) to be
arguing semantics of definitions. (See one-liner response to the other
one.)

Semantics of difference BTW (your James quote) is pretty much at the
root of any MoQish / Metaphysics view I hold. (Difference that makes a
difference that is, not difference that happens to exist in word
games)
