This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

Very insightful! It is such an apt analysis you needn't even qualify it with
"in part".  The Meyers-Briggs assessment that has been discussed would describe 
you as a Sensory (S) type as opposed to an Intuitive (N) type.

One thing- S types, especially males, tend to be focused on non-human nuts and bolts
type of things and ignore the human side of things. N-types are more likely to be
aware of the humanity which colors every part of our experience. Thus, Gerry, you are
so quick to dismiss ideas and concepts you cannot see as "unlikely", blithely unaware 
that you are dismissing a human being and his/her intelligence and hours of involved 
thought and writing. 

I know that I am a bit weak on Sensory skills. I don't care much about the height of
the Wall of Nessus or the distance between Blue and Green. But I respect those who do
and I defer to them as better experts in solving such puzzles. Perhaps you could be more
respectful of those who are better at solving the human/word puzzles than you.
