Wasted time

[From Rick Marken (950110.1930)]

Tom Bourbon (950110.1043)--

Eventually, he [Bruce] lost patience with me and declared the whole
exchange a waste of time.

Boy, this post of yours was sure no waste of time. GREAT post Tom. And
thanks for posting all those wonderful (and wonderfully written) ideas
from Hugh Petrie; I haven't read Hugh's papers in some time and it's
nice to be be shown that they are as excellent as I remember them.

24 hours simply isn't long enough to get everything done I have to
do

Hey, I've got an idea!

Here's a sure fired way to significantly increase the amount of time you
have available to work on PCT. Just tell your sponsoring editor that
the revision of the Research Methods text will only deal with the
appropriate methods for studying living control systems -- methods like
those described by Tom (950110.1043), Bill Powers, Hugh Petrie and
yours truly. The editor will either go with the idea, giving you lots of
time to work on PCT, or, more likely, not, giving you lots of time to
work on PCT;-)

Best
