Sorry Wesley, but the dolphin subject never came up.
I was referring to your apparent psychic ability to discern the purpose behind certain comments (screeds, if you will).
(someone else can make the obvious pun)



As a sock-puppet I should probably add: How do you like them rancid sardines on maggoty hard-tack?

Reading? Eerie, isn't it? They used to teach it in this country.

'Reading' is not only not eery, but it is obviously not a foolproof method of divining the only real reason for entering a comment.

I seem not to recall claiming that it was.

But if you are on about my editing out the illicitly entered stuff from JAD, you *will* take the discussion to email. That's a moderation issue.

Gosh no, I'm not on about any moderating. It's not my place to say anything about it, and I am nothing if not a good rule-follower.

I was just impressed with the insight into motivations is all.

JAD update.
The redoubtable DaveScot has presented a link to JAD's 1984 paper.

Or maybe you could visit Crevo to give it a read.

Yes, it seems that this thread has run its course.

We know that Davison has his own blog. Those who want to converse with him should go visit it and carry on the discussion there.
