Very interesting and enlightening, my mind has opened up. Thanks again. |

| 2009-07-01 | Nicolaas | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | No | I think I managed to swallow most of that ^_^. I think I think already had some small idea of what you were talking about, because I have thought of this a lot - how can you be aware without being self-aware? It is a puzzling question. Thank you for your time, Nicolaas |

| 2009-03-04 | Marc | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | No | Thank you, your answer was as clear and concise as it could be. I know about the arrow metaphor, but it always helps to get another point of view. Thanks again. |
| 2009-03-02 | Baihu | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Thank you for your reassurances.

I've already read many of them and they are very good! Thank you agian. |
