somewhat controversial & then people take obvious time to respond to 
your points in a rational non-argumentative way & then you never even 
come back with "Sorry but I still disagree," it makes a bit hard for 
people to justify setting aside some time to respond to anything else 
that you write in the future.  I'm not advocating responding to people 
who are rude or argumentative in their responses -- in my mind, they 
can clearly be ignored.  <g>  Maybe it's just me (<shrugs>), but I was 
hoping to get some sort of response considering I spent probably 30 
minutes or more responding to your points.  Then again, maybe that's 
just my own fault.  <g>>>>

Um, yes, well . . . I'll respond to the rest of the post later once I 
get home and have access to my e-mail (instead of using egroups at work 
when I should be working . . .)

With the volume of this list, combined with real life work and my time-
consuming classes (huge amounts of reading and writing), I find it 
difficult to keep up with and respond to the posts that I'd like to.  
By the time I'm ready, the thread is long gone.

I will admit to not responding (did I respond at all?) to that thread.  
Sorry.  I was going to respond, but when my teachers decided to dump 
three tests and one paper on me in one week that thread got dumped off 
to the side.  I suppose I could go back and look at it now . . . but 
it's a bit late.  I'm fully prepared to respond to this thread right 
now though.  >:)

And btw, thirty minutes?!?
