Pre-Pesach Pondering IV

[gnomi]

Is it just me, or are the usual suspects more meikil (lenient) than they've been in years past?

Not that I'm complaining or anything -- "Find the Kosher for Passover Hand Soap" has never been a favorite game of mine -- I'm just noting what seems to be a shift across the boards.

Given our history with written discussions, I deleted the very long reply I prepared to this.

mabfab, you have some good questions, but I suspect that you're missing the point that this is simply me finding humor in human behavior, including my own. If you want to continue this, please contact me offline.

I think we may very well be experiencing what Samuel Delany called "rupture," when two people finally realize that are having two entirely different conversations.

Heh. Could be. But it's a talent, no?

It is indeed. :-)

I first read of Delany's "rupture" concept in a Spider Robinson story. I've found it a useful concept, especially in conversations that take place on-line.
