Let's hope now that it's been fairly done to death we can move on to other topics - though I think Ben's idea of respect being studied here in microcosm is a useful one.</span></font></div>

<font color="black" size="2" face="arial"><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><span style="FONT-SIZE: small" class="Apple-style-span">The 'piffling issues' I referenced were the ongoing
dispute over personality clashes and the issue of defining 'respect' here on
this list. Surely these issues aren't going to impact too much on the ongoing
project of getting transhumanism accepted into the mainstream? If they are, it's
no wonder it's taking such a long time! I agree completely that from small
issues spring larger ones, but perhaps it would be of benefit to all if we
discovered small issues that had some relevance to what we're all doing here in
the first place. Just my humble submission, of course.</span></font>
