Joanna,

Where did this come from? I only just responded to your last post. There 
is one point I would make, though. You often post snippets and links.  I 
am not really disposed to being sent off somewhere else to read articles 
in this way. This is a Buddhist discussion group (I can be at least half 
right here) and I prefer to discuss with people in their own words, when 
I find discussion of the topic conducive to dukkha-nirodha. Whether they 
fall into that category or not was the subject of this thread.
