- One cannot learn unless they ask questions.
- And one cannot teach unless, through the process of answering, they generate
- more curiosity.
- Eventually the student is able to conceptualize on their own, but they never
- truly lose their curiosity.
- For as long as they are willing to learn, the circle remains unbroken...

- I already *DO* (time-consummingly) edit them out - but I shouldn't HAVE to.
- That's the POINT. If the review buffer can filter them, WHY can't the
- capture buffer? I *know* such a thing is possible because I've used other
- communications programs on MAC/IBM/Apple][ that DID!
-
- Now, if someone would be so kind as to exlpain why this is not possible on
- an Amiga (rather than tell me to do something else), then I'd love to hear
- about it... :>
