Relax, Richard. I did post something and then deleted it.
By suggesting that indifference and who cares? might have descended from the same root words, I felt that I was expressing my feeling about the whole topic. My apologies go to anyone whom I have offended.
Forgive us as we forgive ...

I have to say that I find that this particular thread is too scholarly for me so I have contributed little. That's not to say that I am indifferent, simply that I am happier to leave it to those others who are better able to deal with its concepts.

Agreed. I very much enjoy reading threads like this, but sometimes I just don't have anything worthwhile to contribute. There's nothing wrong with that.
This is a terrific thread. I was inspired to go back & read the whole thing, as I only "came in" in early 2007. Thanks zmj & mojo for keeping such an esoteric conversation moving along.
I just ordered Alice au pays du langage from amazon.ca.
