Once my typing-machine gets going, the markov chains keep
   spewing and spewing until the muscles in my fingers get bored
   and tell my brain STOP STOP STOP ALREADY.

   You inspired me to write, so I ran with it: I actually discuss
   things in these groups for three reasons:
   a) for the conversation/"the game" itself of conversation. It's
   play.

   b) For the possible edification of others who stumble upon my
   words so they can compare/contrast their own thinkings
   for/against my own thoughts

   c) For the edification of myself; as I have NO IDEA what I think
   about things until challenged.

   d) for

   I copy what I write (but not other people's parts) into a
   "thought collector"

   There _should_ be an e) that says for a book, but that's a
   fiction; I haven't written it or started it, therefore it has
   yet to be true. A plan is a fiction.

   So, before I go back and read what you wrote, I just wanted to
   clarify why my behavior is as such; I like to be clear that my
   motivations are multifaceted, and sometimes I get misinterpreted
   in the process.

   Ok, now I'll see if you answered my questions before I asked
   them smile emoticon
