Glad you liked our/your latest offering. And you’re right about the thing-ness. The electronic version of any text is no match for the actual printed product with all its sensuous <i>dinglich</i> qualities. Mmmm, smell that ink…<br/><br/>Anyhoo, I’m not an expert on refrains, but I think your comments make sense. The union organiser model you describe has a clear agenda and possibly an outcome that’s only really visible to one party. And it’s not really open to modulation, which means that it’s not (on its own) a refrain, altho’ it could form part of one.<br/><br/>And I love your bit about the relation between channels and flows. Damn you! I needed something that succinct a couple of days ago. Ah well... Hi Nate. Glad you liked our/your latest offering. And you’re right about the thing-ness.
