Hi All

I had intended replying to welcome Rafe, but got insanely busy (marking
time!) and didn't, so I'm delighted that you did, John, and apologise
that I didn't.

Not perhaps the deepest and most substantial of discussion questions,
but... 

In your introductory message, Rafe, you referred to Feyerabend as a
'Popperian gadfly'. I wondered whether by this you meant a gadfly who is
a Popperian (as far as I know, PKF was at a very early stage but later
apostasised from the church of Sir Karl), or a gadfly stinging Popper?
I'd be interested to hear what you meant, and how you see the
relationship of the two bodies of work/ideas.

I've missed the discussion in the lost, so I hope that withe the
injection of some new blood (there've been a few introduction messages
over the past few months) that perhaps we can get going again.

Warm regards,

David Geelan
