Oh... I have to publicly thank you for that information on Clement! I found Stromata online and it looks terrific. I was skipping through being very impressed and landed on a line where he talks of people mistaking dialectics for rhetoric - and that sealed the deal for me! true true true! My closest freinds are use to me - but for others - I might as well be from a diffrent planet.
Stomata - I did not know you existed - now - you are at the top of the reading list.
Thank you Rick.
