Hello lo-listeners, dear At and Barry,

I'm not familiar with W.J.J. Gordon, sorry, however, i do agree that
behind every phrase, every byte of in-formation is a paradox: the paradox
of order ("forming") out of chaos("storming") in order ("norming") to
create chaos ("performing"). If this isn't the best of both worlds, what
is?

All the best,

Jan Lelie
