It like the difference between micro and macro economics.You may think you understand the workings of one firm, one rational, utility-maximizing individual, or one stand-alone OT thread. And you may be right or wrong, even then.But how can one grasp the whole system - all firms, all governments, all individuals, rational, irrational, and everything in between. And what is utility maximization anyway?Threads intersect, discussions take place behind Off and then off the Forum completely.You cannot see it all, even with the finest electron microscope, or most powerful radio telescope.Time to give up on understanding everything and just exist. **PS: It is not weird - the OT is ever so slowly getting better - approaching what it used to be in the Renaissance.

That happens TS is not here for some time (for 1 day or more). And, she comes back in 'browsing mode', that is she posts many new messages in not-active/old threads in a short lapse time.The way these threads are picked up is probably not a random process. I am investigating this.IT seems to me that TS started to do that after Mr Farmer left the OT thread. She then posted in several (many) threads started by Farmer or threads where the latter was the last poster.For this reason, I assume that such TS's behavior is kindda response to a trauma. But, I need much time for investigating before I'll be able to draw well-grounded conclusions.

Don't think too hard - you might hurt yourself.**Long before you arrived on the scene I used to troll through archives from time to time and would bring some of my favorite threads forward.So it's just a little hobby; typically for a weekend afternoon or evening. **The Day of 34 Threads for farmer was a special project.And successful, in its own way.
