Life In 19x19

I don't know if this is temporary or not, but I just read a few articles at newsweek.com and everything seems to be free.

Jane Goodall still lecturing: http://www.newsweek.com/2014/10/31/jane ... 79259.html

Are there Go articles in Newsweek?

Assuming that you are not being facetious--this post being Off Topic--I only know of a Kissinger reference to Weiqi, which I looked up for you: http://www.newsweek.com/henry-kissinger ... hina-67555

A little facetious, maybe. Just wondering...
I am not averse to some OT chat here and there, but you are just unleashing a slew of OT threads lately. What gives?

PS>
As I said - just wondering, so don't stop on my account. Some of the stuff is pretty interesting.

Maybe I want to contribute in some way to the forum but am too weak a beginner to add anything of value.

Or maybe I'm just bored and lonely. Since retiring from Britannica, I no longer have colleagues with which I can hold intelligent conversations.

Thanks for the tip....

Retired eh? More time to study GO!

Perhaps start a journal of your go studies? Always welcome to do that on the forum

Remarkably, when go players can be lured out of their holes, they can be quite the conversationalists!

Personally, I think we should encourage more OT posts. It's currently pretty quiet at L19.

Yeah, not a lot of new people(at least thats what it seems like to me).

IMX, in the US, anyway, go players are a highly cultured group.

Are you aware of Crooked Timber? ( http://crookedtimber.org/ ). Not exactly my cup of tea, but I observe from time to time. Certainly intellectual.

Clearly, you were properly cultured. I think that my Petri dish must have been contaminated.

Thank you for the interesting link. Of course, I already read too many newspapers, magazines, and non-MSM sources. Just ask my wife when she wants something done right now.
