How did my original post about TLI mutate into a thread about cats? I

Sorry about that! If you post to newsgroups much, you soon learn about
thread drift.

This is Usenet. Threads drift away from the original topic,
and some drift faster than others.
In this particular case, we went from talking about TLI to
talking about educationals to talking about the DCP to
talking about CTM/CCs to talking about speeches to talking
about an idea I have in the pipeline for a speech related to
the cat genome to talking about cats.
In that sense, a thread is no different from a conversation.

should be kept. If it doesn't, the belief should not only be discarded, but
the thinker must also then question why he was led to believe the erroneous

It's a personal choice. It certainly didn't meet any needs or spark any |

experience. I'm now going through the manual for the second time.
