I am unable to accede to Jay Hanson's request that I not comment on
his posts. When I read a post that I consider mistaken, I respond to
it for what I imagine to be the benefit of the audience. Sometimes it
benefits the poster, but I am ready to give up on Jay Hanson changing
his mind on anything.
There is one way Hanson can reduce the number of replies I make to his
posts. When he posts a document he has posted before, he should note
that fact and note who replied to a previous posting. I would then
often skip the opportunity to reply to the same document again.
