   We recently had a spate of postings (see the thread If A Tree Falls)   
   against continental philosophy. They lambasted it as "more like poetry",   
   "incontinental", etc. I think most of those came from   
   "alt.usage.english" whither the thread had been cross-posted by someone   
   in it.   
      
   I suspect that if anyone cross-posts one of your threads thither, you'll   
   be subjected to things like "poetry", "compare with ley lines",   
   "mysticism", etc.   
      
   What's your mother-tongue? How does it define "philosophy?
