My first non-spam comment! You get the prize (which means: if there was a prize, you'd get it!). I agree with you on "Rudi Volti" ... also thought it sounded like an actor's name from the silent film era. With all due respect to Professor Volti, of course.... As it turns out, I'm going to be reading (that is, unraveling and deciphering) McLuhan's "Understanding Media" for the class, so keep an eye out for more posts on this subject after a while.

I suppose we should think about the phrase 'linear thinking' as in relation to order or orderly progression, but neither logical nor illogical, with no implied value. Still, I'll stand by my assertion that many use the term as a synonym for logical progression. - TL AFGPs,
