Connectionists: Please stop having conversations on this mailing list

[Cristian Grozea]

I monitor with much interest the discussion, and am glad I have the 
chance to get such nice summaries of interesting research work that I 
can then examine in details later.

It is certainly the most interesting thing that happened in this list in 
a very long time, and I am aware of no equivalent or alternative forum 
where this mostly scientific discussion could take place.

Therefore, please continue.

best regards,

Cristian Grozea
