(A bit after tha fact... but)

 My apologies, I didn't realise this response was in anyway hostile, nor was
it meant to be. Simply to the point. I have nothing against a discourse on
Hegel or the philosophical discourse, the latter which is my field, although
I may argue contra Hegel. I'm just trying to figure out what a dialectic
method looking at dialectical method has to do with 'cooperation' at the
level of its application and concept or structure. It sounds more like
'conveniance' to me. The 'double meaning' of 'collaboration' already
discussed here, perhaps. best, tobias

 I guess I thought this was a good place to mix discourses. Sorry
to have been
misled. I'm not going to bother with corrections or comments on
the reprimand
about "cooperation." For those who take interest in this, such
hostility has
always made discussion lists difficult. Bravo to Geert for the encouraging
tone his posts always have.
 

I have a feeling this is simply the basic issue of talking about
something vs actually doing something. It is quite often that
mailing lists digress into academic banter which, while fascinating
at best, and stupifying at worst, is one way of going. However, and
maybe this is a primal weakness of the medium of email lists, this
pathway, IMHO, never really gets to the crux of things. I think that
the upcoming f2f and virtual get-together of freecoop people will
hopefully (and actually) 'flesh-out' the relationships and give
embodied action to the cooperative words...

cheers
John
