Isn't a discussion an exchange of information and ideas? How can you
have a discussion in the first place without different ideas and
opinions?
I understand what you are trying to say, but I still think that the list
is a spread of information and ideas, you can add; - only amongst
Extropians; but it's still a spread - and exchange might be a better
word - of information and ideas.
See ya,
