There is a serious problem with having any notesfile with "philosophy"
in its name--just look at talk.philosophy.misc.  There, an endless
number of people who think philosophy consists of no more than just
spewing forth unsubstantiated opinions conduct what are laughably
called discussions but are really nothing other than name-calling
sessions (interlaced with ample supplies of vulgarities).  Steven
Harnad has inspired discussions on this net which, perhaps, ought to
be in a separate notesfile, but I shudder to think what such a
notesfile would be like.  One suggestion--given the ugliness of
talk.philosophy.misc, I think this new notesfile ought to be
moderated.
