In discussions over the last decade, I've come up with clearer
arguments. But I can't keep up with current traffic, and, like
others, am loth to rehash the same set of arguments every couple

on logicosemantic issues for people already au fait with the
Refgram, I'd be happy to contribute when time permits.
