If you want scholarly debates, fans, enroll on H-BUDDHISM. This is  
buddha-l.  ... Well, so much for rowdy low-brow entertainment. Let me
report on what's going on in the rarefied atmosphere of the scholarly
lists,  where real minds are at work on issues of monumental importance
to us all. ....

In an effort to demonstrate how silly academics are, compared to
buddha-l's high-decorum antics, Richard proposed to give you a sampling
from the list Indology, which, like its name suggests, is concerned with
matters having to do with India. ...

Thank you. I learn so much about argumentation, incomprehension, and
Philadelphia, or is it Boston, logic from postings here. 

Aside, I vacillate about improving my writing but I digress as that is
irrelevant in the immediate context. 


OTT:

Health care plans, as envisionsed by Buddhists --
"Still two-eyed after all these years, " What? No Richard, we all know
that you are really three-eyed.

Hm-mm-m, I didn't suspect that HE (the wealthy, respected Richard) could
see from his stomach. Or, were you talking figuratively and symbolically
as in the Asian traditions?
