When AWADtalk was new, and the number of participants small, resentment of repeat
of previously adequately discussed topics was understandable. But now it is unreasonable
to expect new members to search for previous discussions. There are too few posts to
warrant stigmatizing repetition. We need all the new talent we can get.
YART me no YARTS.
Incidentally, in looking up "dunce" the other day, I learned that the cliché about scholasticists
debating how many angels could dance on the point of a pin is a carnard coined by the father
of Disreali, and actually spoke of point of a needle.
