Hi. Long time. Not dead yet. Here is an example of the dilemma: totally automated – semi automated systems. Here is an edited excerpt from the analysis of one my systems for the month of February. When I talk of filters I mean additional rules on the basic system’s rules. Some of them could be...

Well, it did not take long for this thread to become moribund. Was it something I said? I reckon this is not exactly exciting stuff. Still, I would like to try to re-invigorate it (yes, I do not really have much of a life these days!) I will start with an example on the importance of...

Thank you for your replies. @ Vtechno Thanks for reading the full post. Yes, as I did say at the beginning, this is my first experiment in a Forum and as an added experiment I thought it would be interesting to see if there are major differences between forums. This one is winning in terms of...

Intro This is a personal experiment into the “forum” experience, induced by the “stay at home” policy. And as an experiment in the experiment, I will also post in one or more other forums (or fora, if you are a Latinist.) I do like experiments! I am so clueless regarding forum rules that I am...
