> hey muffy,
**Hey 10der!

> Not to sound like Dr. Bob and answer a question with a question [ ;-) ] but, couldn't it just be you and Dr. Bob are just having a talk? A chat? A discussion between two people who are interested and invested in the same idea/thing (Babble)?**yes, I guess its possible. Its just when Bob says stuff sometimes, I guess its the wording? Sigh, mebbe just me and my damn stuff. I just have no clue who I am sometimes. But I can't beleive on some level that he would converse w/the likes of me unless there was some useful agenda beyond my dumb opinion.
>
> No exercises. No experiments. Just talking?**Well, I guess this is where my wonder about what the hell Bobs motivation is....WHY does he devote so much time to babble when he's a successful educated professional person? And I would like to think its just cuz he cares, but at the same time I can't quite beleive that, I always worried there's some other motive,a hidden agenda, and then that puts me on alert. Cuz lotsa times stuffs not what it might seem. Call me paranoid I guess. It IS interesting, there is so little I know of myself.

> I'm just thinking out loud here. I'm just wondering, and hoping you never feel like it would *have* to be some agenda, or exercise for Dr. Bob to discuss a topic with you. Not saying you do or don't - *at all.* Because I don't know.**LOL, see above.
>
> But I do know you are as important and valuable as anyone else - and I do mean *anyone* - for Dr. Bob to talk with about Babble issues.**I guess so. But I just a bum, and not very smart, and when Bob keeps talking to me like I got something to say thats useful or something I guess i just get weirded.
>
> And I believe (though I suppose some might argue I can't *know* this 100%) Dr. Bob very much likes to hear all Babblers thoughts and ideas on stuff like this, just for their own sake. Plain and simple. Because many heads are usually better than one and he's genuinely interested. Not as part of a bigger plan or exercise or agenda on his part, i.e., the I'm-now-performing-a-psychological-test-on-muffled sort of thing.**He DOES seem to care.....but he IS a scientist.....
>
> Not that you accused him of that or anything, but you asked in a way that got me wondering how these exchanges are viewed by us (when we are part of them) and others reading them (me this time)**I am terribly mean to Bob, and sometimes I am nice. He is always nice to me.
But I got diff parts, and sometimes I guess theres a problem for me. Mostly I do OK though.
>
> I just felt the need to say that. Hope it's okay.**:-) Of course its Ok. I value honesty and the ability to speak up as HUGE good qualities in a person. Takes guts. I admire guts. You my cyber friend 10der, I would not EVER get mad at you.(and if i did it wouldn't be for long!!!!;-)

> You are the coolest, muffy.**And you 10der are way cool too.
And FYI MOST of me is OK w/Bob really. There is a part I trying to deal with thats very very afraid of him though.
