Re: new hope helps
Greetings Biophysicist,
In my experience Brad is unique and he has been writing like this for awhile. There are theories and I've gone through a few. Currently I think it amuses Brad to parody academic writing in this elaborate style. I think what he does is an intellectual exercise of some sort largely for his amusement and our entertainment as we try to decipher it.
I suggest you adopt the attitude most members here have taken of bemused humor and benign perplexity over the ways Brad can twist language into complex structures that never quite reveal anything whilst sounding very weighty.
I think Brad writes to entertain and entertain he does, granted it's in a very esoteric way.
Welcome to EvC, btw,
lfen

Re: Very old post
I noticed it after I posted it and I'm still trying to figure out how I stumbled on it.
I usually am looking at the most recent posts and clicking on them opening them in tabs in Firefox (using dial up it takes a while so I load a few topics at a time). But how I managed to bring that one up I can't figure out! I'm tired and should just turn in. sheesh,
