the nature of the visit -- dropping the facades
by Bowerbird＠aol.com 03 Oct '05

03 Oct '05

it's time to call it like it is... so i'll give you something to think about over the weekend. i'm here on this listserve because i've got information that could be very useful to you. if you choose to hear it. the nature of the visit, then, is that i'm doing you a favor by being here... i'll repeat, so it sinks in: i'm doing you a favor. you are the one who will benefit. not me. i don't need to tell you this information in able to be able to use it wisely myself... i am here as a _gift_ to you, plain and simple. if you don't want the gift, that's just fine by me. i can go off and use the information wisely myself. so it's time for you to make a conscious choice, either to listen to the information, or not to listen. this little game of "we hate you, please go away" has been fun to play, but now we're done with it. if you don't acknowledge what i am giving as a gift, i simply won't give it to you. we're dropping facades... if you really want me to go without delivering the message, i'll strongly consider it. my obligation is met if i _attempt_ to make delivery; whether you _take_ delivery is irrelevant. so you should think about it over the weekend, and then talk amongst yourselves next week, and make a decision. i might stay here and post the information anyway, even if you decide that you don't want to hear it -- i'm not making my decision totally contingent on you. but if you don't realize the favor i'm doing for you, if you don't appreciate the gift that i am offering you, then i must come to the conclusion you don't deserve it -- as if there was every any reason you _did_ deserve it -- and will strongly consider abandoning you in your tar-pit... it would be a lot smarter of you to decide to hear the message, or at least listen to it, even if you're not capable of "hearing" it. then again, most of you don't impress me as being very smart. so it will be interesting to see if you can pass this i.q. test. do you want the gift i am delivering? or not. come to a collective decision. i want to hear it... don't bother with any smart-ass replies to this post... all i want to get from you is a collective "yes" or "no"... -bowerbird

Great -- I'll make an efford to appreciate this favor, if you could make an efford to let us experience that favor in a concise manner. Fifty words at a time should be largely sufficient, for somebody as intelligent as you. Frank

you guys are incapable of _thinking_ for a whole weekend, aren't you? you just have to pop off of the top of your head. *** marcello said: > Last time he "went" he was put on moderation. i was put on "moderation", so i left, yes. i came back because some people tried to spin a lie that i had been "banned". if i do leave here now, and people later try to spin a lie that i was "driven away", i'll come back again. you guys aren't talented enough to influence what i do. > That helped. So I guess that's what we'll have to do now. there's no need for that. just come to a consensus that you want me to go, and let me know that decision. but it has to be a _collective_ decision. (as if some of you have any idea what that is.) we've already heard from the loudmouths... if marcello doesn't keep his mouth shut, i will stay here just to spite him alone... *** now, stop discussing this until you've thought about it for two whole days, or i'll take the offer off the table... -bowerbird

joey said: > And yet, you seem to think that I should let *that* pass, > simply because we're in "a marketplace of truth"? i didn't tell you to let it pass. i didn't mind you setting the record "straight". i don't think you should be banned. speak your mind, joey... what i said then, and will say again, is that you weren't talking about what i was talking about. which is the same thing you have said, that you weren't talking about what i was talking about. so i think we've now reached agreement, again, and everyone on the whole listserve knows that you weren't talking about what i was talking about. so, are we done with this yet? -bowerbird

an example of that "indented-lines" report

i said: > one of the routines that's in my app > pulls out any lines that have a leading-space on them... > this routine is useful because it shows you _structures_ > that might be of interest, like block-quotes, poems. etc. > so in order to have header-lines and list-items located by > this routine as well, i just put the leading-space on them... i thought some of you -- maybe gardner in particular -- might enjoy viewing sample output (from "alice") of my "indented-lines" routine, so i've appended the report to this post... the top half of the report lists the qualified lines in this format: file-line# --- # of blank lines --- # of leading spaces --- the line file-line# --- # of blank lines --- # of leading spaces --- the line file-line# --- # of blank lines --- # of leading spaces --- the line if the file-line# of the next report-line is 4 or more greater than the file-line# of the previous report-line, a dashed-line is printed. otherwise, report-lines are printed in sequence, without dashed-line. this has the effect of placing adjacent text-lines -- i.e., a "block" -- in a "group" that makes it particularly easy to see block qua block... the bottom half of the report shows the qualifying lines sorted. the report-lines starting with "|=06=|" and "|=10=====|" indicate the text-lines with leading spaces in them, 6 and 10 respectively. outputting them this way makes the number of spaces obvious, and helps you to check that leading spaces were done correctly. perusal of this sorted list shows things like chapter titles and bracketed picture-captions sorting together, which is nice... review of a report like this helps assure that the z.m.l. markup has been applied properly to the file. such a report would also, of course, be useful to a researcher studying poetry, for example. even though the poetry hasn't been "marked up" as poetry per se -- because, hey, such judgments aren't really necessary, are they? -- the plain-text format allows for a very easy extraction of the poems. it contains other stuff as well, but that's not too difficult to clean up. as a final note, to gardner, if all the flaming hasn't driven you away, i will respond to your point about sourceforge next week, but my sense is that -- given a report like this to emulate -- most programmers would find it easier to code this rather elementary routine from scratch than to try to figure out my code (written in basic) to "port" it to their language... i'll have more to say on the matter next week, along more philosophical lines, but i thought i'd bring this practical matter to your attention to chew on too... -bowerbird ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------ example of the indented-lines output, for "alice in wonderland"... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------ 0001 0bl. 1sp.

For a long time, I ignored him, but his assault on someone that did not deserve it and who had actually defending him on occasion, fired me up. I should not have risen to the bait and I apologize for the high noise/signal ratio my temper helped create. I'll go back to completely ignoring BB (while strongly urging the banning that many seem to advocate). Back to your regularly scheduled PG discussions... Josh
