I'll tell you all about it. But I can't do

that much typing.- Ken

 

OK, how about a little bit of typing. You guys who were in the woods with

PU come across like monkeys swinging through the trees of your ideas and

throwing down bits of half-eaten fruit on the rest of us. It would be

helpful to understand, if nothing else, the intensity of your reaction to

PU's comments, by knowing what they were. You have been saying you would

say more about what he said, but so far, that hasn't happened. The

standardization of terms issue came after that (or maybe before that) and

is interesting on its own merits, but is a different or parallel discussion

(it seems to me). You seemed to promise something but haven't delivered.

So I'm sitting here wondering what all this is really about. You're " blown

away " by .... a bunch of secret texts recently found in caves? (Were they

looking for Osama and found that instead?) PU saying all Western texts are

hooey? PU promising new information based on ... ? What's the big deal?

Less drama, more data, please.

Pat,

 

Well, on the stage of life we are both

actors and audience, I guess.

 

Look, it's all Will Morris' fault.

 

He has these very detailed notes

that need to be edited and then

they will be passed around to

those of us who were there.

 

I took lousy notes. I didn' anticipate

that I'd be called upon to be the

chronicleer of the event. I talked to

Will the other day and he said it

will be a couple of months before

he has time to do anything about

these notes.

 

I'll see if I can get some from someone

else, and then maybe I can make a

better report.

 

Sorry to keep you in suspense.

 

And, again, after I see Paul in November

in San Diego, maybe I'll be able to

talk about this more coherently.

 

By the way, the thing that Marnae and

Z'ev want to know about, the term

standardization project in Beijing

is a separate issue.

 

And there is a description of it in

the first issue of CAOM that I edited,

written by Prof. Zhu Jian Ping.

 

That's Volume II, Number 1.

Ah, yes, I remember it now, as I float amidst a vast sea of

information. It is somewhere back there in my mind, I'll go read it

again.

 

Thanks,

Ken,

 

I did understand that the term-standardization issue is distinct, thank

you. And I don't seek to find fault, merely to find out what's going on.

I also understand the need to prepare an accurate, careful account. I look

forward to reading the report.
