Thanks Wim,
I appreciate your advice.
I cannot exclude John B and Matt K from contributing if they wish, but my
quality perception of John B's work is that it stinks to high heaven.
A man who contributes hundreds of thousands of words to a forum that aims to
explore the work of an individual who John B dismisses with barely concealed
viciousness obviously has nothing better to do with his life?
Now, getting back to my question: Celebrity status?
The main body of exploration in your posts appear to be memetic.
Why not start using memes yourself as social patterns of value?
Are celebrities, 'Meme fountains' as Blackmore suggests?
Meme fountains have an evolutionary dynamic over meme sinks?
Is John B trying to ape a meme fountain with his intellectual febrility?
I feel you are a better meme fountain because you have a coherent pattern of
approach to tricky problems?
This is a value lead intuition of mine; a quality perception.
By the way, i cannot explain why my computer acts the way it does! Its the
Millenium falcon of the computer world!
And as for my real name?
My name is of no consequence to anyone my friend; if every post of mine could
be sent under a differing name, i would be more than happy to dissolve into
obscurity...
All the best,
Squonk.
