Heidegger in Being and Time writes
Keeping silent authentically is possible only in genuine discoursing. To be able to keep silent Dasien must have something to say-that is it must have at its disposal an authentic and rich disclosedness of itself (p 165).
I admit I am still working on this (smile). However, for some reason (and, aside from Jud at times, it is certainly not the quality of what is said on the list) I admit to not finding some of the conversation as thoughtfully intriguing as I did in the past. But that is nobody's fault but my own.

Which part is sad, that there are so many people who don't or rarely write
(like myself - oh, I listen, sometimes very intently, to the dichotomy
represented by MichaelP and Rene of compassion and purity, or boundless
creativity and focused unity, of delight and distress, or, or.., anyhow, a
daimon tends to stay my hand at the keys when the impulse to respond arises.
Better to witness than speak these days) or that there are so few people
where 'the many' are needed so it statistically bears out that more are
prone to post than lurk?
