EKOS polling
Why did you remove the the Jan 20 EKOS one-day polling from Canadian federal election, 2006 with the comment "Fake EKOS? Who knows"? It looks okay to me, and the numbers are in the link that was referenced? Nfitz 02:12, 22 January 2006 (UTC)


 * I get it now, one of the polls was the one they intended and the other one was their daily data. I didn't notice that the same had been done for other dates, the last doubley one was spread out. I don't know why we would want to include both really but ok, sorry about the confusion. Also, there must be a better way to divide up tables than an empty row. I didn't even realize that it was supposed to represent something, assuming that it was. It just looked wrong. Fratley 12:53 AM, 22 January 2006 (EST)


 * Some days, Ekos only produced daily data, rather than anything else. On those days, the daily data at least gave some idea where the polls were shifting.  The daily data has been included only for continuity on the most recent event (same thing happens on on Jan 12 in the main article).  Not perfect, I admit.  The extra rows.  Yes, someone had added them to show the break between the recent polls and the older polls and to offset the last election.  I don't care about them one way or another really, and someone else had restored them; I had finished doing that.  But I'm just noticing now, that they look different depending on which Browser you are using.  Using IE, they just look like a thick line; quite a nice effect.  But I just fired up Firefox, and they do look a little odd there!  Someone else has partially restored already, but if you want to delete that, I can see why!  Nfitz 16:40, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

Occasionalism
Fratley, What kinds of occasionalism do not require a God? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Eteb3 (talk • contribs) 11:27, 30 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Oh, hi there. Sorry I didn't answer you sooner, I'm currently on a trip. My edit to the occasionalism article was probably Schopenhauer-related. Schopenhauer's ontology posited an impersonal striving force - which he called the World Will or the Will to Live - as the basis of all observable reality. His form of occasional causation should be treated as distinct from any religious version of occasional causation dealing with a rational supernatural entity, such as al-Ghazali's view on how the laws of nature relate to Allah. The current version of the article does make this distinction, but as far as I'm concerned it does it in a confused and dismissive way. If you can think of a good reason why occasionalism and occasional causation are "similar but different" instead of just two flavours of the same thing, then let me know.
