    That has been discussed so many times over the years with no consensus reached! I didn't have the energy to bring it up again.

    • Hi Pargat & Bob G:

      I will be limiting my use of the internet for the next two weeks. I do do this regularly.

      I think we have developed an interesting, and from time to time, informative thread. I have read Pargat's last post on this.

      I just wanted you to know that I did not disappear for a while because of frustration, etc. I will hope to pick up the discussion again when I return. In the meantime, I'll look forward to the intervening "enlightening" posts by others, on my return.

        Or.... is it because women want their shoes and to wear them too, and men want to sell them shoes?

          Peter, what a wasted opportunity! You had the chance to say something inflammatory, and then watch the fun! At the end, the thread could be debating whether women are more suited than men for travel to Alpha Centauri! Where, incidentally, there is a chess rating pool of Similaars whose ratings peak around 2850!

            Ok Bob, have a great hiatus from the grid. Do some Earthing every day (sitting outside with bare feet resting flat on open ground for about 10 minutes, known to improve chess ratings by a few Elo points!)

                LOL!! Sometimes it's better to wait. Too much fun in too short a time span can be bad for the digestion.

                  I don't see anything wrong with what Pargat said.

                  • Hi Guys:

                    I do go barefoot in the house, deck and front lawn. I'm still wearing shorts. I now have to go fill our three birdfeeders. I always spend at least 1/2 hr. out on the deck, morning, afternoon, or evening...........in contemplation (My form of meditation).

                    I really do try to refrain from posting here during my "interlude", but I couldn't resist the temptation on this one.
