Re: Inconsistency, etc.

[Tim Gwinn <***>]

After some off-line discussions and mulling it over, my remark from below:
        "...the list focus tacitly presumes that listmembers
        are here to primarily discuss concepts within
        the Rosennean paradigm."
may unduly imply too much of a 'closed' sense.

I would modify the remark thusly:
        "...the list focus tacitly presumes that listmembers
        are here to primarily discuss concepts apposite to
        the Rosennean paradigm."
where 'apposite' means "strikingly appropriate and relevant"; or
"well-suited and pertinent".

Regards,
Tim
