I've made a career of leading lame-o points.

It would be interesting to look at what sections of the texts  
(especially Mason & Dixon, GR, and  ATD) are omitted or glossed over  
in our P-List discussions. There are so many passages that are hard  
to decipher, we naturally gravitate to the ones that fit our  
preconceptions, biases, and areas of knowledge. Perhaps after we  
ransack IV we could zero in on some of the virtually ignored sections  
and see what they're about rather than continuing to go through  
entire novels over and over.
