Dear xmca,

I'm very glad to see that folks are still interested in discussing topics
spawned in the course of the Leont'ev reading .Various other
responsibilities and tasks overtook me as we passed from Ch 3 to Ch 4 and I
wasn't even able to keep up with reading all of the posts. So much came up
and so many rarely heard participants contributed that I was saddened not to
be able to further explore the points and issues they raised. It seemed
that the train had moved into "crossing the Mojave desert" momentum when we
got to Ch. 5 and I simply didn't see how to get on board.

But one thought kept occurring to me, one question. What would a list of
desiderata for a theory of personality include? What questions would have
to be addressed? Could such a list be developed that might garner a strong
core of agreement?

Anyway, I too would like to say that the silence from this end was due to
other urgent matters. I for one am really glad about the informative and
deep discussion that the reading generated even though I feel that I hardly
had time to absorb and reflect upon it as much as it deserved.

Paul H. Dillon
