Wolfgang, Amos et al -

I am enjoying the discussion, although I have nothing substantive to add. I was interested in studying psychology at a time when behaviorism was the only game in town - I quickly tired of "Skinner boxes" and the like and decided to adopt a less academic approach to my investigation of what makes us tick. Or at least a less formal one, anyway.

I suppose my disenchantment with "flavor of the month" psychology is why I understand Amos's objection to that which Wolfgang is so devoted. I have always been amazed at the "certainty" that researchers often attach to their pet theories. I am gratified to know that Wolfgang is not one of those.

Thanks for taking the time to share the information. It is admired and appreciated.
