Sorcha made a stab at a link to MODES FOR MUDCATTERS: A SYNTHESIS PRIMER (From: Sorcha Date: 19-May-02 - 09:49 AM) but got her priorities all disarrayed

In the words my stupid ancestor heard so very often that they were passed down in family tradition - "Its Rape and Plunder BEFORE kill and burn."

I believe the person being referred has found the thread, but the discussion has moved to modes, and - while I'm still mystified - I found this explanation helpful. Others may wish to take a look
