You hit the nail in the head (4.00 / 2)

whether you believe the 'natural' (whatever that is) or the 'social' is more influential

And it is not whether - or, is the point.

Re: You hit the nail in the head (none / 1)

It has been a inteersting discussion, but once ET starts going to thin columns and then double-width pages, conversations become very difficult to follow.

Plus the page refresh takes ages.

I tend to duck out at that point.

You could try setting your comment preferences to minimal or dynamic minimal after a certain number of comments.
