[Ads-l] Scissors

[Geoffrey Nathan]

This has been extensively discussed over the years, and nobody
seems to be able to explain why it happens, or for whom. For what it is worth,
as many know, Margaret and I share a study (and a life :-) ), but
nonetheless, her message came through to me in the same form
as it did for Daniel.

There are mysteries, even in determinate technology.

Hi Margaret. You can see below what your reply looked like, so I can't
respond! Dunno why this happens with some and not with others.
