All Popper All The Time
Katherine and Sarah have posted a conversation Janet and I had about Sir Karl Popper. It's "inside the Seed mothership" over at Page 3.14. Run, don't walk, to check it out. But then walk, and be careful, it's getting icy, back here and read all our posts again and again and again. You see that…

hey guys, could you post the date of the conversation and make it more accurately citable? (Well, you did post it, you know.)

Also, did you/Janet/Ben clean this up before posting? And -- Janet/Ben -- did you have the conversation all in one go? It's interesting; it's the least IMlike IM session I've ever seen.

Ben and I chatted on October 25, 2006, from 12 noon - 1 pm Eastern time.

What was posted was the entire chat except for the hellos and goodbyes. We cleaned up spelling and punctuation, and made some logic-driven choices about transcript order in the instances where we were both typing furiously at the same time.

There were no emoticons used in the chat at all. I take that as evidence that the both of us must be kind of old for IM.
