Ziya kept the questions and challenges coming, for sure, and engaged in all the threads, indeed, but here slagged because some people just didn't like his interaction which is just not on. It takes two to tango, it requires the other party to tap into the negativity they themselves describe to make it happen. I was here during those stormy years, engaged in the same discussions, and for some reason I never had any problem with Ziya. In fact, this list died because Ziya one day *pulled* out, and - dare I say it? - probably because some people who couldn't stand their opinions challenged or couldn't deal with the pushiness of the other side, caused such a ruckus (and, apparently, after all these years still do). *grumble* *grumble* I actually miss a lot of those discussions, even if they did get heated; they seemed at times annoying at the time, but always made me think about my answers, rethink my stance, and be a heck of a lot more humble about my bloody opinions. Maybe people had a problem of being reminded of the complex contexts to any situation (where you ask for a trick on doing something small, the discussion tilted towards the complex and omnibus), but I loved the fact that even the little things got tied to human cognition and neuroscience; there's a severe lack of it in the general IA community these days, far, far too little.
