CCL: Requests for Structural Realism article of Prof. Scerri

 Sent to CCL by: Tom Albright [talbright|,|uh.edu]
 What??? Look if one wants the community to see an article why not publicize it?
 The delete key ain't hard to hit. I see so much stuff in this list that can be
 easily handled if one first had the barest of understanding of the methodology
 and secondly one had read the users manual. I just hit the delete key. So here
 is an informational post and you have to criticize as being self-aggrandizing?
 Look Igor - I have no intention in reading the article by Scerri - nor have I
 ever met him, but boy do you and the others that have criticized a post like
 this aggravate me! Self- serving? I think so... Astro-turfing - I think not! Why
 not publish something yourself?
