Complicators and Simplifiers...

this is overly comlicated, isn't it?

The thread itself, Ponderable, probably 'yes' and duly noted in the thread's initial post... "Otherwise, I strive to be a simplifier though obviously often fall short of the goal." The "Thread Closed" post (six hours later with zero posts and five Thumbs Down) which you've quoted simply tried, admittedly too hard, to breathe life into a failed still born thread. Two gaps in the lines were intentional.

I noted the intenionality of the gaps.

However I can't really understand the significance.

Just an almost subtle hint that the front and back doors of the thread were ajar

(not slammed shut and locked for good) in the event anybody still wanted in.

Thank you for your open mind, GB.

If we scome to overyl simplified as a chemst I often wonder what people make f the very simplified concepts that should explain nanotechnology.

Anybody else?

There was a remarkable essay by Science Fiction writer Spider Robinson posing as a report of an alien to his superiors. He claimed that it was human nature to make things more complicated , so they knew they were alive. I found this highly ntriguing.
