[Peace-discuss] More differential application of SYG

[ewj at pigsqq.org]

It's ok.

You don't have to admit it.

People tend to take on the characteristics of those
they hang out with.  I have been accused of modifying
the thinking and behaviour of some folk here in the 
Middle Kingdom.  Indeed that was a goal.

In your case I think it is only natural, Paul, that
you would pick up certain nuances from me and
adapt them, and finally take them as your own.

We all do that to some extent.  Perhaps you are
particularly susceptible or adept (depending upon one's
perspective) at that sort of assimilative behaviour.

I dont mind at all.  

Wayne
