	In Response To: Giving proper credit (Grasshopper) : Actually, this site is exemplary (I might say almost academic ;) ) in the way : that it gives people proper credit for the ideas they come up with. Just : look at any section of the page, and you'll see that in every case, proper : credit is given to any Marathon-based theory. : As best as I can figure it, Hamish's methodology from the start has been one : that is deeply rooted in the dialectic, whose formula, you'll recall, is : "thesis + antithesis = synthesis." In other words, Marathon Fan : X comes up with a theory/thesis, Hamish (Who Knows All Things Marathon : After Having Spent Much Time Reasearching and Interpreting) challenges any : weak spots the theory might have in order to force the aforementioned : Marathon Fan to solidify the thesis, after which the thesis becomes : "published" on the Marathon Story Page. That is the sole reason : why you'll find consistenly intelligent content in the MSP's various : sections. : You might also recall that the originator of the dialectic was our old friend : Socrates. Even though many of the concepts and thoughts in the works of : Socrates/Plato were originated by some of Socrates's philosophy : buddies/students, it would just sound a tad impractical to have a book : title read something like "The Complete Dialogues, Collected by : Plato, Written By Socrates Philosophy Fans." : I personally think the opening page is fine the way it reads. : What's of true interest to me is that last line in your post. What's your : dirt on Hamish? ;) : -grasshoppy Hegel was the father of the dialectic. Not Socrates. No big deal anyway, just a few thousand years in between... hero I have been Roland, Beowulf, Achilles, Gilgamesh. I have been called a hundred names and will be called a thousand more before the world goes dim and cold. I am hero.
