Conversation is interactive communication between two or more people
I (Ward) sometimes write a long post in our chat rooms that deserves a life of its own. Maybe I don't realize this until I arrive at some conclusion beyond the precipitating conversation. Then I treat it as a first draft. Name the conclusion. Make the page. Then cut, paste and refine the argument hoping others, not yet in the Conversation, will find it useful. I'll try that now.
