Dear Gary,

'I'm boycotting all non-essay readers'
I'm sorry Gary. I usually don't have time to read all MD contributions,
reflect and reply on some of them via MD (I am lagging more than 3 weeks
behind at the moment) AND read essays. I have to choose and the few essays I
read led me to conclude that I appreciate shorter contributions (as on MD)
and the back-and-forth of discussion better. I experience MD as a joint
effort of clarifying and crystallizing views which I prefer to someone
spending a lot of time clarifying and crystallizing individual views without
the possibility for others to interrupt. The fact that essays are published
on the website with considerable delay doesn't contribute to their value.
I have tried to make this into more than a quick aside and hope therefore
that you are not insulted.
With friendly greetings,
Wim
