John/Gregg:

This is *classic* . . . !!

John is PRINT and Gregg is ELECTRIC.  Two different "sensibilities."   
How could they possibly "agree" on anything . . . ??

The irony, of course, is that this is only happening because they are 
*both* now obsolete.  Both distantly in the "rear-view mirror."  Both 
looking backwards.

 From an ELECTRIC standpoint, we all have different "language 
systems."  From a PRINT standpoint, we can actually try to sort all 
this out -- "scientifically."

In both cases, the underlying "biases" are masked.  Neither 
standpoints recognizes that fundamentally different 
psycho-technological environments are at work.  And neither will those 
who participate in the "Canonizer" game.

Crucially, neither wants to admit that DIGITAL brings a completely 
different sensibility to the "debate."

Yes, this is classic . . . <g>

Mark

P.S. The irony is that a "Canon" isn't either PRINT or ELECTRIC.  And 
it cannot be decided by a "vote."  It is SCRIBAL -- as in "Canon Law." 
  What a world of surprises awaits us all.
