Well, my astonishment is really two-fold. To a large extent it is occasioned
by the heat of some of the discussions, for example the thread of
messages in July on PFK, to which Herbert Sauro has just referred again. I
waited breathlessly for the next installment..... But secondly it is
occasioned by my impression that BTK remains in the title of the group for
historical reasons only. Interest in BTK (a term coined by Hans Westerhoff
if I remember correctly) seems at an all-time low, if not nonexistent.
Apparently bioenergetics is no longer important/fashionable and the original
BTK aficionados have all been replaced by MCA aficionados. Or do I read it
wrong?
