Connectionists: Please stop having conversations on this mailing list

[Jonathan Grainger]

I am a humble reading researcher (psychologist) interested in how much
processing readers can perform in parallel - and I've found it interesting
to see how having this connectionist thread open in a different window from
my main work has helped me develop that kind of parallel processing :-)
it's great stuff - keep going ...
