Dear Antoinette and list members,
Perhaps the problem (although its not really a problem, more of an observation) is that we have members such as myself (or perhaps only myself) who are not computational linguists nor have a strong background in logical semantics (or Chomsky) and thus find the discussions in this areas, at times, somewhat difficult to follow, or dare I say it, of no interest at all.
Having stated that, I do sometimes find the discussions in these areas enlightening and occasionally (when I do understand some small part) food for thought. In fact, I have often been able to elicit the help of those in the above mentioned fields for my doctoral thesis. If it werent for these discussions, then I would never have had the opportunity of meeting them and getting the help I needed.
Admittedly, I sometimes feel there comes a moment when all sides need to agree to disagree and e-mail each other privately. However, when I am no longer interested or dont have the time to follow a thread, I simply delete the e-mail when I see the subject line. I would much rather have that choice than have members feel they must curtail or censor their discussions and debates.
Kindest regards,
Linda Bawcom
