    Dear Don,
    I don't know much about complexity, is that like chaos theory ?, but I did listen to the old folks in our family \when asked why they got bald, their answer was " grass never grows where its busy!", such is life, you may try too hard to cultivate a patch you really really wanted to cultivate ! and end up with nothing, you may stop calling a recipient an opponent, that really bugs me.

    Nicki, just a suggestion that if you do wanna correspondence, go ahead and reply to my messages fairly quickly , if you don't reply to them fairly quickly, it makes it look like you're just never gonna answer again and we're back into that whole thing

    don't let me tell you what to do because I really hate people telling me what to do.
    if you answer me right away, that I know, you're not playing this game of never answering me ever again, and hurting my feelings.
    Who am I to demand when you answer or not
    you just take your time I'll be waiting.
    I'll be waiting for your next message.
    Whether that be a day , a week , a month , a year , 40 years I'll be here for you.
    since you have written such kindly words I have emailed you a link to my blogger, there is quite a lot on there that explains why I'm so often distracted, you're welcome to reply X
    still haven't received the link to your blog.
    No Christmas present for you this year I'm afraid.
    still haven't gotten your link to your blog
    you know , there's some lyrics from a Phil Collins song that I think apply here:

    there must be some misunderstanding.
    There must be some kind of a mistake.
    I waited in the rain for hours
    and you were late.
    1. I sent the link to your hotmail account.
    2. I can't help it if you have run out of notepaper.
    3. I'm never going to write to you again via comp.ai.philosophy
    thank you for the condolences

    Mr Stockbaur
    I have explained to you in previous emails that I am lame, I can't walk like average hope to, and, although I could really afford to visit you or anyone in USA there are certain' biomechanical' difficulties I have to consider.

    I'm really flattered that someone would send me a message right out here in public like this because normally I'm totally ignored.

    my problem is that I need to follow the tit for tat rule. Another word you only rights you take turns you don't write a bunch of times in a row. That way it manages everything better because if your conversational friend fails to write you then that shit relationship over instead of someone that would continue to write and write and write with no answer and what's happening is the person that's not answering is thinking like this fool still is writing to me so I just won't write to them and they're wasting all this time and effort riding to me when I'm not riding back. It's just the way of human relationships.

    Who am I to demand when you answer or not
    you just take your time I'll be waiting.
    I'll be waiting for your next message.
    Whether that be a day , a week , a month , a year , 40 years I'll be here for you.
    since you have written such kindly words I have emailed you a link to my blogger, there is quite a lot on there that explains why I'm so often distracted, you're welcome to reply X
    still haven't received the link to your blog.
    No Christmas present for you this year I'm afraid.
    still haven't gotten your link to your blog
    you know , there's some lyrics from a Phil Collins song that I think apply here:

    there must be some misunderstanding.
    There must be some kind of a mistake.
    I waited in the rain for hours
    and you were late.
    1. I sent the link to your hotmail account.
    2. I can't help it if you have run out of notepaper.
    3. I'm never going to write to you again via comp.ai.philosophy
    thank you for the condolences

    I have explained to you in previous emails that I am lame, I can't walk like average hope to, and, although I could really afford to visit you or anyone in USA there are certain' biomechanical' difficulties I have to consider.

    my problem is that I need to follow the tit for tat rule. Another word you only rights you take turns you don't write a bunch of times in a row. That way it manages everything better because if your conversational friend fails to write you then that shit relationship over instead of someone that would continue to write and write and write with no answer and what's happening is the person that's not answering is thinking like this fool still is writing to me so I just won't write to them and they're wasting all this time and effort riding to me when I'm not riding back. It's just the way of human relationships.
    you see what the crude Apple dictation did above it put the word shit in when I didn't say that it's the responsible party for such actions such as that
    The best way to remove somebody from your life is to ignore them well that is unless they become a stocker then you got problems but if you're separated by 6000 miles then that's not a problem because it's hard for them to stalk you unless it's the Internet, you can be stocked on the Internet and still be 6000 miles apart isn't life complicated you know the Internet has made things so complicated it's really sickening I mean with everything getting so complicated is that a good thing or a bad thing?

    Dear Don,
    I don't know much about complexity, is that like chaos theory ?, but I did listen to the old folks in our family \when asked why they got bald, their answer was " grass never grows where its busy!", such is life, you may try too hard to cultivate a patch you really really wanted to cultivate ! and end up with nothing, you may stop calling a recipient an opponent, that really bugs me.
    A message in the post.

    Nicki, just a suggestion that if you do wanna correspondence, go ahead and reply to my messages fairly quickly , if you don't reply to them fairly quickly, it makes it look like you're just never gonna answer again and we're back into that whole thing

    The best way to remove somebody from your life is to ignore them well that is unless they become a stocker then you got problems but if you're separated by 6000 miles then that's not a problem because it's hard for them to stalk you unless it's the Internet, you can be stocked on the Internet and still be 6000 miles apart isn't life complicated you know the Internet has made things so complicated it's really sickening I mean with everything getting so complicated is that a good thing or a bad thing?
    I have sensed that you do not wish to carry on with the dialogue. Is that true?
    isn't this fun? It's just like the old days where we would have these long long dialogue's and then we finally just delete everything but that doesn't mean they're not somewhere everything that's ever deleted from the Internet a copy is saved so don't dare say anything illegal.
    do you think that if one person of a conversing pair quits riding that the other one should quit riding to?

    I agree that emails can be hacked & plausibly be tampered with. I
    was looking for your email & found you as 'Adonis Stockbauer', I
    have no idea if you were being kinky or it was an alt account
    somebody else had set up.

    I'm very quiet generally, so I'm sorry if I haven't had very much
    to say....nothing much has happened since I last wrote, or maybe
    you reply so fast, I'm stumped so have a little less to tell you
    each time you write.

    Yes I agree, global warming is having a massively detrimental
    affect on nature and our world around
    Adonis is my third cousin twice removed.

    If I'm writing too fast, I can adhere now on to Hofstadter's
    tit-for-tat rule, which slows things down and it also ensures if one
    person quits the other person quits also.
    I promise I'll quit posting out of turn.

    My problem is that I get really worried that if I send someone a note
    that they won't return the favor.

    Dear Don,
    I don't know much about complexity, is that like chaos theory ?, but I did listen to the old folks in our family \when asked why they got bald, their answer was " grass never grows where its busy!", such is life, you may try too hard to cultivate a patch you really really wanted to cultivate ! and end up with nothing, you may stop calling a recipient an opponent, that really bugs me.
    A message in the post.

    Nicki
    Nicki, just a suggestion that if you do wanna correspondence, go ahead and reply to my messages fairly quickly , if you don't reply to them fairly quickly, it makes it look like you're just never gonna answer again and we're back into that whole thing

    don't let me tell you what to do because I really hate people telling me what to do.
    if you answer me right away, that I know, you're not playing this game of never answering me ever again, and hurting my feelings.
    Who am I to demand when you answer or not
    you just take your time I'll be waiting.
    I'll be waiting for your next message.
    Whether that be a day , a week , a month , a year , 40 years I'll be here for you.
    since you have written such kindly words I have emailed you a link to my blogger, there is quite a lot on there that explains why I'm so often distracted, you're welcome to reply X
    still haven't received the link to your blog.
    No Christmas present for you this year I'm afraid.
    still haven't gotten your link to your blog
    you know , there's some lyrics from a Phil Collins song that I think apply here:

    there must be some misunderstanding.
    There must be some kind of a mistake.
    I waited in the rain for hours
    and you were late.
    1. I sent the link to your hotmail account.
    2. I can't help it if you have run out of notepaper.
    3. I'm never going to write to you again via comp.ai.philosophy
    thank you for the condolences

    Mr Stockbaur
    I have explained to you in previous emails that I am lame, I can't walk like average hope to, and, although I could really afford to visit you or anyone in USA there are certain' biomechanical' difficulties I have to consider.

    my problem is that I need to follow the tit for tat rule. Another word you only rights you take turns you don't write a bunch of times in a row. That way it manages everything better because if your conversational friend fails to write you then that shit relationship over instead of someone that would continue to write and write and write with no answer and what's happening is the person that's not answering is thinking like this fool still is writing to me so I just won't write to them and they're wasting all this time and effort riding to me when I'm not riding back. It's just the way of human relationships.

    maybe it's best just to not form friendships and relationships. It's just too much heartbreak. Somebody once said there's so much difference between people they can never form a mutually beneficial union.

    Dear Don,
    I don't know much about complexity, is that like chaos theory ?, but I did listen to the old folks in our family \when asked why they got bald, their answer was " grass never grows where its busy!", such is life, you may try too hard to cultivate a patch you really really wanted to cultivate ! and end up with nothing, you may stop calling a recipient an opponent, that really bugs me.
    A message in the post.

    Nicki
    Nicki, just a suggestion that if you do wanna correspondence, go ahead and reply to my messages fairly quickly , if you don't reply to them fairly quickly, it makes it look like you're just never gonna answer again and we're back into that whole thing

    don't let me tell you what to do because I really hate people telling me what to do.
    if you answer me right away, that I know, you're not playing this game of never answering me ever again, and hurting my feelings.
    Who am I to demand when you answer or not
    you just take your time I'll be waiting.
    I'll be waiting for your next message.
    Whether that be a day , a week , a month , a year , 40 years I'll be here for you.
    since you have written such kindly words I have emailed you a link to my blogger, there is quite a lot on there that explains why I'm so often distracted, you're welcome to reply X
    still haven't received the link to your blog.
    No Christmas present for you this year I'm afraid.
    still haven't gotten your link to your blog
    you know , there's some lyrics from a Phil Collins song that I think apply here:

    there must be some misunderstanding.
    There must be some kind of a mistake.
    I waited in the rain for hours
    and you were late.
    1. I sent the link to your hotmail account.
    2. I can't help it if you have run out of notepaper.
    3. I'm never going to write to you again via comp.ai.philosophy
    thank you for the condolences

    I have explained to you in previous emails that I am lame, I can't walk like average hope to, and, although I could really afford to visit you or anyone in USA there are certain' biomechanical' difficulties I have to consider.

    A friendship or relationship is the same as a wine glass. If you drop the wine glass, it will shatter into 1000 pieces. There's no way to fix it. All you can do is go out and buy another wine glass.
    maybe it's best just to not form friendships and relationships. It's just too much heartbreak. Somebody once said there's so much difference between people they can never form a mutually beneficial union.
    good morning, me.

    Dear Don,
    I don't know much about complexity, is that like chaos theory ?, but I did listen to the old folks in our family \when asked why they got bald, their answer was " grass never grows where its busy!", such is life, you may try too hard to cultivate a patch you really really wanted to cultivate ! and end up with nothing, you may stop calling a recipient an opponent, that really bugs me.
    A message in the post.

    Nicki
    Nicki, just a suggestion that if you do wanna correspondence, go ahead and reply to my messages fairly quickly , if you don't reply to them fairly quickly, it makes it look like you're just never gonna answer again and we're back into that whole thing

    don't let me tell you what to do because I really hate people telling me what to do.
    if you answer me right away, that I know, you're not playing this game of never answering me ever again, and hurting my feelings.
    Who am I to demand when you answer or not
    you just take your time I'll be waiting.
    I'll be waiting for your next message.
    Whether that be a day , a week , a month , a year , 40 years I'll be here for you.
    since you have written such kindly words I have emailed you a link to my blogger, there is quite a lot on there that explains why I'm so often distracted, you're welcome to reply X
    still haven't received the link to your blog.
    No Christmas present for you this year I'm afraid.
    still haven't gotten your link to your blog
    you know , there's some lyrics from a Phil Collins song that I think apply here:

    there must be some misunderstanding.
    There must be some kind of a mistake.
    I waited in the rain for hours
    and you were late.
    1. I sent the link to your hotmail account.
    2. I can't help it if you have run out of notepaper.

    I have explained to you in previous emails that I am lame, I can't walk like average hope to, and, although I could really afford to visit you or anyone in USA there are certain' biomechanical' difficulties I have to consider.

    Do you think that two people who are in a writing relationship and then one of them quits but the other one keeps writing on and on and on and on with no response from the other person, do you think that the person who continues to write on and on and on will eventually maybe like give up seeing the hopelessness of the situation ??

    I was also wondering did you get the title to this thread from that short story "MS in a bottle "written by Edgar Allan Poe?
    do you think that if one person quits a writing relationship and the other one keeps on and on that eventually the one that keeps on and on will eventually tire of it and quit?
    it's no problem at all. If you feel that you're lack of mobility, would keep you from coming to America. We can just put that off for some other time.

    it's OK Nick we had many years of correspondence with one another all things must Pass the best thing to do when someone no longer wishes to communicate with you is to just be gallons about it let them go and go onto different things I know you could start up a meaningful conversation instantly if you wanted to, but I'm afraid the hurt is pjust too deep and it's impossible for you to do so I'll remember you for always, and eat more Pecans.

    I have explained to you in previous emails that I am lame, I can't walk like average hope to, and, although I could really afford to visit you or anyone in USA there are certain' biomechanical' difficulties I have to consider.

    it's OK Nick we had many years of correspondence with one another all things must Pass the best thing to do when someone no longer wishes to communicate with you is to just be gallons about it let them go and go onto different things I know you could start up a meaningful conversation instantly if you wanted to, but I'm afraid the hurt is pjust too deep and it's impossible for you to do so I'll remember you for always, and eat more Pecans.
    One thing you don't want to do is if your relationship has fallen apart is to keep badgering the other person to come back. It's very poor form. It won't get them back It just makes for bad feelings everywhere.

    A message in the post.

    Nicki
    Nicki, just a suggestion that if you do wanna correspondence, go ahead and reply to my messages fairly quickly , if you don't reply to them fairly quickly, it makes it look like you're just never gonna answer again and we're back into that whole thing

    don't let me tell you what to do because I really hate people telling me what to do.
    if you answer me right away, that I know, you're not playing this game of never answering me ever again, and hurting my feelings.
    Who am I to demand when you answer or not
    you just take your time I'll be waiting.
    I'll be waiting for your next message.
    Whether that be a day , a week , a month , a year , 40 years I'll be here for you.
    since you have written such kindly words I have emailed you a link to my blogger, there is quite a lot on there that explains why I'm so often distracted, you're welcome to reply X
    still haven't received the link to your blog.
    No Christmas present for you this year I'm afraid.

    Confer Simon and Garfunkel's song "the Sound of Silence" . Silence worked real well for the people in that song.
    if you've been writing to someone and all of a sudden they won't say a word back and you really like that person so you keep writing on and on please please write me on and on and maybe a year goes by finally they condescend and send you a message and what will that message be with 100% certainty? "I've been too busy for you " the nice thing about that is it shows you where you stand exactly with that person . you're not worth their time .
    see the game is very simple to play. The person that wants to be rid of you merely does nothing . what could be easier than that anything you could possibly send that person they'll ignore you know like for instance, what if that person needs a kidney ? can you find out where there's a kidney available for them? They still won't write you because they'd rather die than write you. are we living in a wonderful society ?God bless it.

    Dear Don,
    I don't know much about complexity, is that like chaos theory ?, but I did listen to the old folks in our family \when asked why they got bald, their answer was " grass never grows where its busy!", such is life, you may try too hard to cultivate a patch you really really wanted to cultivate ! and end up with nothing, you may stop calling a recipient an opponent, that really bugs me.
    A message in the post.

    Nicki
    Nicki, just a suggestion that if you do wanna correspondence, go ahead and reply to my messages fairly quickly , if you don't reply to them fairly quickly, it makes it look like you're just never gonna answer again and we're back into that whole thing

    don't let me tell you what to do because I really hate people telling me what to do.
    if you answer me right away, that I know, you're not playing this game of never answering me ever again, and hurting my feelings.
    Who am I to demand when you answer or not
    you just take your time I'll be waiting.
    I'll be waiting for your next message.
    Whether that be a day , a week , a month , a year , 40 years I'll be here for you.
    since you have written such kindly words I have emailed you a link to my blogger, there is quite a lot on there that explains why I'm so often distracted, you're welcome to reply X
    still haven't received the link to your blog.
    No Christmas present for you this year I'm afraid.
    still haven't gotten your link to your blog
    you know , there's some lyrics from a Phil Collins song that I think apply here:

    there must be some misunderstanding.
    There must be some kind of a mistake.
    I waited in the rain for hours
    and you were late.
    1. I sent the link to your hotmail account.
    2. I can't help it if you have run out of notepaper.
    3. I'm never going to write to you again via comp.ai.philosophy
    thank you for the condolences

    I have explained to you in previous emails that I am lame, I can't walk like average hope to, and, although I could really afford to visit you or anyone in USA there are certain' biomechanical' difficulties I have to consider.

    The primary way people communicate nowadays is to not communicate.
    Confer Simon and Garfunkel's song "the Sound of Silence" . Silence worked real well for the people in that song.
    if you've been writing to someone and all of a sudden they won't say a word back and you really like that person so you keep writing on and on please please write me on and on and maybe a year goes by finally they condescend and send you a message and what will that message be with 100% certainty? "I've been too busy for you " the nice thing about that is it shows you where you stand exactly with that person . you're not worth their time .

    see the game is very simple to play. The person that wants to be rid of you merely does nothing . what could be easier than that anything you could possibly send that person they'll ignore you know like for instance, what if that person needs a kidney ? can you find out where there's a kidney available for them? They still won't write you because they'd rather die than write you. are we living in a wonderful society ?God bless it.
    that was a really nice condolence card about my brother Fred's death and it was an actual card not some kind of worthless online thing but after I received it, I thought to myself self how did she find out? I don't think I told her or maybe I did tell you I went back through my yahoo messages and Yahoo has this thing when you look at the send message file it'll repeat the same message maybe 20 times like the idiots that they are so how could you possibly know that my brother died? I'm afraid I have to go with. Perhaps you had access to some very high level retrieval method who knows who would possibly have access to such high-level to retrieve a message, but one thing you can do is if that's not true just go ahead and send me a note about how you received the information that my brother Fred died maybe that you scanned obituaries or maybe telepathy, perhaps clairvoyance? sad thing is when people no longer communicate the person who is trying to communicate with the other one just Hass to guess since all they're getting is no's from the other person there are literally trillions of possibilities in this complicated civilization we live in and so it just makes for obfuscation

    The best way to remove somebody from your life is to ignore them that is unless you run into them at the supermarket in which case you can always say I'm sorry I have to leave. I have a roast in the oven at home.

    The more you badger someone to write to you , the less they will.
    if you're in a conversation with someone, you have to be very sensitive to whether they still like you or not
    if they've grown to not like you, they may still communicate with you, but it'll just be at the level of a game or something very negative and they'll pretend to like you. This is the pathetic state of the Internet.

    I had this friend email me and what I didn't know he had slipped from being a friend to not being a friend so instead of emailing me about getting together for supper and all kinds of nice things he started arguing and that's because he decided what he wanted to use me for was to argue by email, so you have to be very astute in determining whether a friend has become not a friend , it's very difficult.

    I have explained to you in previous emails that I am lame, I can't walk like average hope to, and, although I could really afford to visit you or anyone in USA there are certain' biomechanical' difficulties I have to consider.


    message to donnn Stockbauer? Hi donnn, how are you doing donnn things going OK donnn how's the wife and kids donnn you'll notice my name is spelled with three n's thatswhat the Apple dictation thinks anyway.
    I had this friend email me and what I didn't know he had slipped from being a friend to not being a friend so instead of emailing me about getting together for supper and all kinds of nice things he started arguing and that's because he decided what he wanted to use me for was to argue by email, so you have to be very astute in determining whether a friend has become not a friend , it's very difficult.
    when I was young, I had a flashlight and pointed it at the Big Dipper, and I asked Dad how long will it take the light from this flashlight to get there?

    He said quit wasting the batteries.
    i've had this really annoying itch on my right elbow.

    Dear Don,

    snail-mail suits best , huh !
    DO NOT rag the posters too much they have intelligent things to

    was looking for your email & found you as 'Adonis Stockbauer', I
    have no idea if you were being kinky or it was an alt account
    somebody else had set up.

    I'm very quiet generally, so I'm sorry if I haven't had very much
    to say....nothing much has happened since I last wrote, or maybe
    you reply so fast, I'm stumped so have a little less to tell you
    each time you write.

    Yes I agree, global warming is having a massively detrimental
    affect on nature and our world around >> > Adonis is my third cousin twice removed.

    If I'm writing too fast, I can adhere now on to Hofstadter's
    tit-for-tat rule, which slows things down and it also ensures if one
    person quits the other person quits also.
    I promise I'll quit posting out of turn.

    My problem is that I get really worried that if I send someone a note
    that they won't return the favor.

    Dear Don,
    I don't know much about complexity, is that like chaos theory ?, but I did listen to the old folks in our family \when asked why they got bald, their answer was " grass never grows where its busy!", such is life, you may try too hard to cultivate a patch you really really wanted to cultivate ! and end up with nothing, you may stop calling a recipient an opponent, that really bugs me.
    A message in the post.

    Nicki
    Nicki, just a suggestion that if you do wanna correspondence, go ahead and reply to my messages fairly quickly , if you don't reply to them fairly quickly, it makes it look like you're just never gonna answer again and we're back into that whole thing

    don't let me tell you what to do because I really hate people telling me what to do.
    if you answer me right away, that I know, you're not playing this game of never answering me ever again, and hurting my feelings.
    Who am I to demand when you answer or not
    you just take your time I'll be waiting.
    I'll be waiting for your next message.
    Whether that be a day , a week , a month , a year , 40 years I'll be here for you.
    since you have written such kindly words I have emailed you a link to my blogger, there is quite a lot on there that explains why I'm so often distracted, you're welcome to reply X
    still haven't received the link to your blog.
    No Christmas present for you this year I'm afraid.
    still haven't gotten your link to your blog
    you know , there's some lyrics from a Phil Collins song that I think apply here:

    there must be some misunderstanding.
    There must be some kind of a mistake.
    I waited in the rain for hours
    and you were late.

    I'm very quiet generally, so I'm sorry if I haven't had very much

    you reply so fast, I'm stumped so have a little less to tell you

    If I'm writing too fast, I can adhere now on to Hofstadter's

    I promise I'll quit posting out of turn.

    My problem is that I get really worried that if I send someone a note
    that they won't return the favor.

    Dear Don,
    I don't know much about complexity, is that like chaos theory ?, but I did listen to the old folks in our family \when asked why they got bald, their answer was " grass never grows where its busy!", such is life, you may try too hard to cultivate a patch you really really wanted to cultivate ! and end up with nothing, you may stop calling a recipient an opponent, that really bugs me.
    A message in the post.

    Nicki
    Nicki, just a suggestion that if you do wanna correspondence, go ahead and reply to my messages fairly quickly , if you don't reply to them fairly quickly, it makes it look like you're just never gonna answer again and we're back into that whole thing

    don't let me tell you what to do because I really hate people telling me what to do.
    if you answer me right away, that I know, you're not playing this game of never answering me ever again, and hurting my feelings.
    Who am I to demand when you answer or not
    you just take your time I'll be waiting.
    I'll be waiting for your next message.
    Whether that be a day , a week , a month , a year , 40 years I'll be here for you.
    since you have written such kindly words I have emailed you a link to my blogger, there is quite a lot on there that explains why I'm so often distracted, you're welcome to reply X
    still haven't received the link to your blog.
    No Christmas present for you this year I'm afraid.
    still haven't gotten your link to your blog
    you know , there's some lyrics from a Phil Collins song that I think apply here:

    there must be some misunderstanding.
    There must be some kind of a mistake.
    I waited in the rain for hours
    and you were late.
    1. I sent the link to your hotmail account.
    2. I can't help it if you have run out of notepaper.
    3. I'm never going to write to you again via comp.ai.philosophy
    thank you for the condolences

    I have explained to you in previous emails that I am lame, I can't walk like average hope to, and, although I could really afford to visit you or anyone in USA there are certain' biomechanical' difficulties I have to consider.


    message to donnn Stockbauer? Hi donnn, how are you doing donnn things going OK donnn how's the wife and kids donnn you'll notice my name is spelled with three n's thatswhat the Apple dictation thinks anyway.
    I had this friend email me and what I didn't know he had slipped from being a friend to not being a friend so instead of emailing me about getting together for supper and all kinds of nice things he started arguing and that's because he decided what he wanted to use me for was to argue by email, so you have to be very astute in determining whether a friend has become not a friend , it's very difficult.
    when I was young, I had a flashlight and pointed it at the Big Dipper, and I asked Dad how long will it take the light from this flashlight to get there?

    He said quit wasting the batteries.
    i've had this really annoying itch on my right elbow.
    when I was six I got burned really badly I managed to spill hot popcorn, grease from one of those old Timey popcorn, poppers onto my chest third-degree burns wound up in the hospital for a couple of weeks. I remember some kid from the mental ward coming down and playing with me , sort of, you know peeked his head in and out of the room when it was time for me to go home from the hospital mom and dad came by with a gift.

    The first computer, I could actually get to program was a Control Data Corporation, 66/6400 series at the university of Texas at Austin. This was back in 1974. We had to use punchcards , they had a Jacquard loom in one of the buildings

    I once sent a message to my penpal and apparently during all the paths it took getting to her somebody hated me and they changed my wording around so that my penpal read it with those words and said "I quit" , really heartbreaking but what can you do? We're in the new modern age where conversation comes from a distance instead of the person next to you .

    I had this friend email me and what I didn't know he had slipped from being a friend to not being a friend so instead of emailing me about getting together for supper and all kinds of nice things he started arguing and that's because he decided what he wanted to use me for was to argue by email, so you have to be very astute in determining whether a friend has become not a friend , it's very difficult.
    when I was young, I had a flashlight and pointed it at the Big Dipper, and I asked Dad how long will it take the light from this flashlight to get there?

    He said quit wasting the batteries.
    i've had this really annoying itch on my right elbow.
    when I was six I got burned really badly I managed to spill hot popcorn, grease from one of those old Timey popcorn, poppers onto my chest third-degree burns wound up in the hospital for a couple of weeks. I remember some kid from the mental ward coming down and playing with me , sort of, you know peeked his head in and out of the room when it was time for me to go home from the hospital mom and dad came by with a gift. It was a toy safe which is long gone now. Dad said donnn normally we spank you for causing us to spend so much money, but we think you suffered enough he was right
    in fourth grade, I was going down a hill on my bike, and it got away from me and I went over the handlebars to wind up the next day in the hospital with a concussion
    i i'm i'm okp

    The first computer, I could actually get to program was a Control Data Corporation, 66/6400 series at the university of Texas at Austin. This was back in 1974. We had to use punchcards , they had a Jacquard loom in one of the buildings
    I once sent a message to my penpal and apparently during all the paths it took getting to her somebody hated me and they changed my wording around so that my penpal read it with those words and said "I quit" , really heartbreaking but what can you do? We're in the new modern age where conversation comes from a distance instead of the person next to you .
    when I was in Tennessee, my friend and I went to tour the Jack Daniels distillery, but they couldn't give us samples because it's in a dry county. If you can believe that.

    Dear Don,
    I don't know much about complexity, is that like chaos theory ?, but I did listen to the old folks in our family \when asked why they got bald, their answer was " grass never grows where its busy!", such is life, you may try too hard to cultivate a patch you really really wanted to cultivate ! and end up with nothing, you may stop calling a recipient an opponent, that really bugs me.
    A message in the post.

    Nicki
    Nicki, just a suggestion that if you do wanna correspondence, go ahead and reply to my messages fairly quickly , if you don't reply to them fairly quickly, it makes it look like you're just never gonna answer again and we're back into that whole thing

    don't let me tell you what to do because I really hate people telling me what to do.
    if you answer me right away, that I know, you're not playing this game of never answering me ever again, and hurting my feelings.
    Who am I to demand when you answer or not you just take your time I'll be waiting. I'll be waiting for your next message. Whether that be a day , a week , a month , a year , 40 years I'll be here for you.
    since you have written such kindly words I have emailed you a link to my blogger, there is quite a lot on there that explains why I'm so often distracted, you're welcome to reply X
    still haven't received the link to your blog.
    No Christmas present for you this year I'm afraid.
    still haven't gotten your link to your blog
    you know , there's some lyrics from a Phil Collins song that I think apply here:

    there must be some misunderstanding.
    There must be some kind of a mistake.
    I waited in the rain for hours
    and you were late.
    1. I sent the link to your hotmail account.
    2. I can't help it if you have run out of notepaper. 3. I'm never going to write to you again via comp.ai.philosophy

    At one time we had a horse out on the ranch here called Danby. It belonged to my sister. It's long gone now, but my father never liked it. He was always afraid it would step on a calf.
    I was working at an auto parts store one time and a fellow came in and said "I want a ram for my truck." I said "You want a what?" He said "I want a ram , you know , a ram. The tire goes on the ram"
    I like this bit of Fortran:

    5 continue
    we're caught in a trap
    I can't walk out
    because I love you too much ,baby
    go to 5
    Don't you think it's kind of snotty for me to hog this thread this way?

    Dear Don,
    Comp ai philosophy is possibly the wrong to chat. I'm doing ok
    tho I haven't begun your portrait yet, something I would NOT have
    considered payment for. I'm afraid you're going to have to wait
    until I'm in the mood, I have to move again soonish ....so maybe
    snail-mail suits best , huh !
    DO NOT rag the posters too much they have intelligent things to
    write for, like giving very impressive CV's, I've posted on
    Google Groups for nearly 20 years so I'm used to some writers,
    lots who are or were students & now moved on.
    I agree that emails can be hacked & plausibly be tampered with. I
    was looking for your email & found you as 'Adonis Stockbauer', I
    have no idea if you were being kinky or it was an alt account
    somebody else had set up.

    I'm very quiet generally, so I'm sorry if I haven't had very much
    to say....nothing much has happened since I last wrote, or maybe
    you reply so fast, I'm stumped so have a little less to tell you
    each time you write.

    Yes I agree, global warming is having a massively detrimental
    affect on nature and our world around
    Adonis is my third cousin twice removed.

    If I'm writing too fast, I can adhere now on to Hofstadter's
    tit-for-tat rule, which slows things down and it also ensures if one
    person quits the other person quits also.
    I promise I'll quit posting out of turn.

    My problem is that I get really worried that if I send someone a note
    that they won't return the favor.

    Dear Don,
    I don't know much about complexity, is that like chaos theory ?, but I did listen to the old folks in our family \when asked why they got bald, their answer was " grass never grows where its busy!", such is life, you may try too hard to cultivate a patch you really really wanted to cultivate ! and end up with nothing, you may stop calling a recipient an opponent, that really bugs me.
    A message in the post.

    Nicki
    Nicki, just a suggestion that if you do wanna correspondence, go ahead and reply to my messages fairly quickly , if you don't reply to them fairly quickly, it makes it look like you're just never gonna answer again and we're back into that whole thing

    don't let me tell you what to do because I really hate people telling me what to do.
    if you answer me right away, that I know, you're not playing this game of never answering me ever again, and hurting my feelings.
    Who am I to demand when you answer or not
    you just take your time I'll be waiting.
    I'll be waiting for your next message.
    Whether that be a day , a week , a month , a year , 40 years I'll be here for you.
    since you have written such kindly words I have emailed you a link to my blogger, there is quite a lot on there that explains why I'm so often distracted, you're welcome to reply X
    still haven't received the link to your blog.
    No Christmas present for you this year I'm afraid.
    still haven't gotten your link to your blog
    you know , there's some lyrics from a Phil Collins song that I think apply here:

    there must be some misunderstanding. There must be some kind of a mistake.
    I waited in the rain for hours
    and you were late.
    1. I sent the link to your hotmail account.
    2. I can't help it if you have run out of notepaper.
    3. I'm never going to write to you again via comp.ai.philosophy
    thank you for the condolences

    Mr Stockbaur
    I have explained to you in previous emails that I am lame, I can't walk like average hope to, and, although I could really afford to visit you or anyone in USA there are certain' biomechanical' difficulties I have to consider.


    message to donnn Stockbauer? Hi donnn, how are you doing donnn things going OK donnn how's the wife and kids donnn you'll notice my name is spelled with three n's thatswhat the Apple dictation thinks anyway.
    I had this friend email me and what I didn't know he had slipped from being a friend to not being a friend so instead of emailing me about getting together for supper and all kinds of nice things he started arguing and that's because he decided what he wanted to use me for was to argue by email, so you have to be very astute in determining whether a friend has become not a friend , it's very difficult.
    when I was young, I had a flashlight and pointed it at the Big Dipper, and I asked Dad how long will it take the light from this flashlight to get there?

    He said quit wasting the batteries.
    i've had this really annoying itch on my right elbow.
    when I was six I got burned really badly I managed to spill hot popcorn, grease from one of those old Timey popcorn, poppers onto my chest third-degree burns wound up in the hospital for a couple of weeks. I remember some kid from the mental ward coming down and playing with me , sort of, you know peeked his head in and out of the room when it was time for me to go home from the hospital mom and dad came by with a gift. It was a toy safe which is long gone now. Dad said donnn normally we spank you for causing us to spend so much money, but we think you suffered enough he was right
    in fourth grade, I was going down a hill on my bike, and it got away from me and I went over the handlebars to wind up the next day in the hospital with a concussion
    i i'm i'm okp

    The first computer, I could actually get to program was a Control Data Corporation, 66/6400 series at the university of Texas at Austin. This was back in 1974. We had to use punchcards , they had a Jacquard loom in one of the buildings
    I once sent a message to my penpal and apparently during all the paths it took getting to her somebody hated me and they changed my wording around so that my penpal read it with those words and said "I quit" , really heartbreaking but what can you do? We're in the new modern age where conversation comes from a distance instead of the person next to you .
    when I was in Tennessee, my friend and I went to tour the Jack Daniels distillery, but they couldn't give us samples because it's in a dry county. If you can believe that.
    My father was heavily into raising pecans.
    At one time we had a horse out on the ranch here called Danby. It belonged to my sister. It's long gone now, but my father never liked it. He was always afraid it would step on a calf.
    I was working at an auto parts store one time and a fellow came in and said "I want a ram for my truck." I said "You want a what?" He said "I want a ram , you know , a ram. The tire goes on the ram"
    I like this bit of Fortran:

    5 continue
    we're caught in a trap
    I can't walk out
    because I love you too much ,baby
    go to 5
    Don't you think it's kind of snotty for me to hog this thread this way?
    how many stories do you think each of us has in us? probably pretty big, right?

    Dear Don,
    I don't know much about complexity, is that like chaos theory ?, but I did listen to the old folks in our family \when asked why they got bald, their answer was " grass never grows where its busy!", such is life, you may try too hard to cultivate a patch you really really wanted to cultivate ! and end up with nothing, you may stop calling a recipient an opponent, that really bugs me.
    A message in the post.

    Nicki
    Nicki, just a suggestion that if you do wanna correspondence, go ahead and reply to my messages fairly quickly , if you don't reply to them fairly quickly, it makes it look like you're just never gonna answer again and we're back into that whole thing

    don't let me tell you what to do because I really hate people telling me what to do.
    if you answer me right away, that I know, you're not playing this game of never answering me ever again, and hurting my feelings.
    Who am I to demand when you answer or not
    you just take your time I'll be waiting.
    I'll be waiting for your next message.
    Whether that be a day , a week , a month , a year , 40 years I'll be here for you.
    since you have written such kindly words I have emailed you a link to my blogger, there is quite a lot on there that explains why I'm so often distracted, you're welcome to reply X
    still haven't received the link to your blog.
    No Christmas present for you this year I'm afraid.
    still haven't gotten your link to your blog
    you know , there's some lyrics from a Phil Collins song that I think apply here:

    there must be some misunderstanding. There must be some kind of a mistake.
    I waited in the rain for hours
    and you were late.
    1. I sent the link to your hotmail account.
    2. I can't help it if you have run out of notepaper.
    3. I'm never going to write to you again via comp.ai.philosophy

    Mr Stockbaur
    I have explained to you in previous emails that I am lame, I can't walk like average hope to, and, although I could really afford to visit you or anyone in USA there are certain' biomechanical' difficulties I have to consider.


    message to donnn Stockbauer? Hi donnn, how are you doing donnn things going OK donnn how's the wife and kids donnn you'll notice my name is spelled with three n's thatswhat the Apple dictation thinks anyway.
    I had this friend email me and what I didn't know he had slipped from being a friend to not being a friend so instead of emailing me about getting together for supper and all kinds of nice things he started arguing and that's because he decided what he wanted to use me for was to argue by email, so you have to be very astute in determining whether a friend has become not a friend , it's very difficult.
    when I was young, I had a flashlight and pointed it at the Big Dipper, and I asked Dad how long will it take the light from this flashlight to get there?

    He said quit wasting the batteries.
    i've had this really annoying itch on my right elbow.
    when I was six I got burned really badly I managed to spill hot popcorn, grease from one of those old Timey popcorn, poppers onto my chest third-degree burns wound up in the hospital for a couple of weeks. I remember some kid from the mental ward coming down and playing with me , sort of, you know peeked his head in and out of the room when it was time for me to go home from the hospital mom and dad came by with a gift. It was a toy safe which is long gone now. Dad said donnn normally we spank you for causing us to spend so much money, but we think you suffered enough he was right
    in fourth grade, I was going down a hill on my bike, and it got away from me and I went over the handlebars to wind up the next day in the hospital with a concussion
    i i'm i'm okp

    The first computer, I could actually get to program was a Control Data Corporation, 66/6400 series at the university of Texas at Austin. This was back in 1974. We had to use punchcards , they had a Jacquard loom in one of the buildings
    I once sent a message to my penpal and apparently during all the paths it took getting to her somebody hated me and they changed my wording around so that my penpal read it with those words and said "I quit" , really heartbreaking but what can you do? We're in the new modern age where conversation comes from a distance instead of the person next to you .
    when I was in Tennessee, my friend and I went to tour the Jack Daniels distillery, but they couldn't give us samples because it's in a dry county. If you can believe that.
    My father was heavily into raising pecans.
    At one time we had a horse out on the ranch here called Danby. It belonged to my sister. It's long gone now, but my father never liked it. He was always afraid it would step on a calf.
    I was working at an auto parts store one time and a fellow came in and said "I want a ram for my truck." I said "You want a what?" He said "I want a ram , you know , a ram. The tire goes on the ram"
    I like this bit of Fortran:

    5 continue
    we're caught in a trap
    I can't walk out
    because I love you too much ,baby
    go to 5
    Don't you think it's kind of snotty for me to hog this thread this way?
    how many stories do you think each of us has in us? probably pretty big, right?
    So how many stories does each of us have in us?
    I bet it's the same number as the number of things that are not a painting of a pipe in Magritte's painting "this is not a pipe."
    I got that a little bit wrong. It should really read :
    How many stories does each of us have in us?
    I bet it's the same number as the number of other things in Magritte's painting titled "This is not a pipe " that are not a pipe because it's a painting of a pipe , not a pipe , so how many other things it is the painting not , like it's not a camera , it's not an electron , it's not a Mercedes-Benz ; it's not just a whole bunch of things.
    Can you say "indeterminate"?

    DO NOT rag the posters too much they have intelligent things to

    was looking for your email & found you as 'Adonis Stockbauer', I
    have no idea if you were being kinky or it was an alt account
    somebody else had set up.

    I'm very quiet generally, so I'm sorry if I haven't had very much
    to say....nothing much has happened since I last wrote, or maybe
    you reply so fast, I'm stumped so have a little less to tell you
    each time you write.

    Yes I agree, global warming is having a massively detrimental

    If I'm writing too fast, I can adhere now on to Hofstadter's

    I promise I'll quit posting out of turn.

    My problem is that I get really worried that if I send someone a note
    that they won't return the favor.

    Dear Don,
    I don't know much about complexity, is that like chaos theory ?, but I did listen to the old folks in our family \when asked why they got bald, their answer was " grass never grows where its busy!", such is life, you may try too hard to cultivate a patch you really really wanted to cultivate ! and end up with nothing, you may stop calling a recipient an opponent, that really bugs me.
    A message in the post.

    Nicki
    Nicki, just a suggestion that if you do wanna correspondence, go ahead and reply to my messages fairly quickly , if you don't reply to them fairly quickly, it makes it look like you're just never gonna answer again and we're back into that whole thing

    don't let me tell you what to do because I really hate people telling me what to do.
    if you answer me right away, that I know, you're not playing this game of never answering me ever again, and hurting my feelings.
    Who am I to demand when you answer or not
    you just take your time I'll be waiting.
    I'll be waiting for your next message.
    Whether that be a day , a week , a month , a year , 40 years I'll be here for you.
    since you have written such kindly words I have emailed you a link to my blogger, there is quite a lot on there that explains why I'm so often distracted, you're welcome to reply X
    still haven't received the link to your blog.
    No Christmas present for you this year I'm afraid.
    still haven't gotten your link to your blog
    you know , there's some lyrics from a Phil Collins song that I think apply here:

    there must be some misunderstanding.
    There must be some kind of a mistake.
    I waited in the rain for hours
    and you were late.
    1. I sent the link to your hotmail account.
    2. I can't help it if you have run out of notepaper.
    3. I'm never going to write to you again via comp.ai.philosophy
    thank you for the condolences

    I have explained to you in previous emails that I am lame, I can't walk like average hope to, and, although I could really afford to visit you or anyone in USA there are certain' biomechanical' difficulties I have to consider.

    is a message to donnn stock Brower, the same as Edgar Allan Poe's message found in a bottle? Boy that was a really creepy story. It's typical of most stories people tell one another is completely unfeasible. It's fiction and it rots peoples minds making them unable to do anything else useful for humanity.
    hey, I just thought I would post this in order to further clutter up the Internet, kind of like a sewer system that's never cleaned out so that eventually it becomes useless and everyone dies.
    is a message for DonStockbauer kind of like call for Philip Morris?

    have you ever received a condolence card concerning someone in your family who has died and the card comes from someone that you don't remember telling about the death because you have short term memory loss, so you don't know if that person got the information from you telling her, and you just forgetting about it or perhaps she saw it in the public obituaries now available on the Internet worldwide and since you're not on speaking terms with the person who sent you the condolence, you'll just never know, but that's OK because there's all kind of things a person can never know.

    I don't know much about complexity, is that like chaos theory ?, but I did listen to the old folks in our family \when asked why they got bald, their answer was " grass never grows where its busy!", such is life, you may try too hard to cultivate a patch you really really wanted to cultivate ! and end up with nothing, you may stop calling a recipient an opponent, that really bugs me.
    A message in the post.

    Nicki
    Nicki, just a suggestion that if you do wanna correspondence, go ahead and reply to my messages fairly quickly , if you don't reply to them fairly quickly, it makes it look like you're just never gonna answer again and we're back into that whole thing

    don't let me tell you what to do because I really hate people telling me what to do.
    if you answer me right away, that I know, you're not playing this game of never answering me ever again, and hurting my feelings.
    Who am I to demand when you answer or not
    you just take your time I'll be waiting.
    I'll be waiting for your next message.
    Whether that be a day , a week , a month , a year , 40 years I'll be here for you.
    since you have written such kindly words I have emailed you a link to my blogger, there is quite a lot on there that explains why I'm so often distracted, you're welcome to reply X
    still haven't received the link to your blog.
    No Christmas present for you this year I'm afraid.
    still haven't gotten your link to your blog
    you know , there's some lyrics from a Phil Collins song that I think apply here:

    there must be some misunderstanding.
    There must be some kind of a mistake.
    I waited in the rain for hours
    and you were late.
    1. I sent the link to your hotmail account.
    2. I can't help it if you have run out of notepaper.
    3. I'm never going to write to you again via comp.ai.philosophy
    thank you for the condolences

    I have explained to you in previous emails that I am lame, I can't walk like average hope to, and, although I could really afford to visit you or anyone in USA there are certain' biomechanical' difficulties I have to consider.

    is a message to donnn stock Brower, the same as Edgar Allan Poe's message found in a bottle? Boy that was a really creepy story. It's typical of most stories people tell one another is completely unfeasible. It's fiction and it rots peoples minds making them unable to do anything else useful for humanity.
    hey, I just thought I would post this in order to further clutter up the Internet, kind of like a sewer system that's never cleaned out so that eventually it becomes useless and everyone dies.
    is a message for DonStockbauer kind of like call for Philip Morris?
    should every cupcake have a pecan half on top of it?

    have you ever received a condolence card concerning someone in your family who has died and the card comes from someone that you don't remember telling about the death because you have short term memory loss, so you don't know if that person got the information from you telling her, and you just forgetting about it or perhaps she saw it in the public obituaries now available on the Internet worldwide and since you're not on speaking terms with the person who sent you the condolence, you'll just never know, but that's OK because there's all kind of things a person can never know.
    do you think it's possible to send someone an email and then it's intercepted on the way to your recipient and somebody maliciously puts text into the email that destroys your relationship with the person you were mailing the email to?

    Dear Don,
    Comp ai philosophy is possibly the wrong to chat. I'm doing ok
    tho I haven't begun your portrait yet, something I would NOT have
    considered payment for. I'm afraid you're going to have to wait
    until I'm in the mood, I have to move again soonish ....so maybe
    snail-mail suits best , huh !
    DO NOT rag the posters too much they have intelligent things to
    write for, like giving very impressive CV's, I've posted on
    Google Groups for nearly 20 years so I'm used to some writers,
    lots who are or were students & now moved on.
    I agree that emails can be hacked & plausibly be tampered with. I
    was looking for your email & found you as 'Adonis Stockbauer', I
    have no idea if you were being kinky or it was an alt account
    somebody else had set up.

    I'm very quiet generally, so I'm sorry if I haven't had very much
    to say....nothing much has happened since I last wrote, or maybe
    you reply so fast, I'm stumped so have a little less to tell you
    each time you write.

    Yes I agree, global warming is having a massively detrimental
    affect on nature and our world around
    Adonis is my third cousin twice removed.

    If I'm writing too fast, I can adhere now on to Hofstadter's
    tit-for-tat rule, which slows things down and it also ensures if one
    person quits the other person quits also.
    I promise I'll quit posting out of turn.

    My problem is that I get really worried that if I send someone a note
    that they won't return the favor.

    This sounds like a job for soc.penpals , Don:

    Are you being a little bit paranoid Don ? why would anybody want to cause harassment or interfere in your public communiques?
    I sent you a condolences because you wrote online (message +50) that your brother had died, if you got along or not, its somebody you found interesting & you had shared memories, so I'm sorry for that. Why, with an intelligence as yours haven't you written something pertaining to philosophy of comp AI ?
    Do or did I think email & private data can be snatched at will by a secret organisation or perpretrator ? probably, but theres no clue to discover why....is there.
    Can you stop using your voice activated secretary & write via you keyboard? for a start it can't spell the difference betweet riding & writing, who knows maybe one day the only way we could say if a message is from a human hand ie brain, & artificial one is those spellings, lol
