    Mentioning someone in a discussion (like this: @Name) is a great way to encourage dialog and let them know who you’re talking to.

    Simon, would you be willing to support me in trying to keep theology and strategy separated to some degree?

      What a wonderful question, Bushi! And on my birthday, too. And the Feast of Saint Thomas, where precisely the question is posed. And, like Pilate's question, leaves us to find our own answer.

      I ask myself whether theology is not part of tactics rather than strategy and, thus, should indeed be kept separate.

    What is the point of this endless thread? Is it is some Zen trick?

      I think, Simon, that the point of this thread is to see which one of the subthreads gets the longest???????

      I hadn't realised that we could have subthreads. Can there be sub-subthreads? This could become seriously bizarre.

      I love bazaars!
      I enjoy long sub-sub-subthreads,
      especially those with long, long strings of silly questionmarks..

      Threads with sub-sub-sub threads.....

      Like a mirror facing another mirror and all the mirrors inside becoming endless......

      This endless thread seems to have a short lifespan. It should automatically be gone within a few days. How cool is that?
      In fact, if the OP would delete his original query: What is the point of this endless thread? Is it is some Zen trick? The whole sub-thread would be deleted.

      How cool is that?
