Meanwhile, Judy, once I get down to reading it, I'll be talking to you about
your paper. No doubt, I wish I could have 48 hours in a day. Then again,

No worry, my guess is that not knowing what we are talking about and yet
assuming an articulation in response to something is a way of participation.
Like a Vygotskian notion of speaking aloud, before internal speech sets in.
Dont we all experience that, especially as a newcomer to any arena/topic/COP
etc.

Dont get me wrong. I certainly like the "straying" in
conversations/multilogues. Creates added colours! In any case, thanks for
the reminder you posted. Nope! I'll still waiting for some help on those
references. Any takers? Please!
Cheers
