Can you give me a reference in The Guide (or Netti) for the above?

It's an interesting discussion but I think it is one that properly belongs
on dsg rather than here. However, since it is now here you can continue on
with it if you like and let it run its course. Just don't get into the habit
of bringing such discussions over from dsg unless it's Pali related. There
have also been some other recent messages you posted that I thought were out
of place on psg. The 'Does anyone want to answer?' message. Also, the two
'Puggala Pannatti for Teng Kee' messages could just as well have been sent
off-list to the parties involved. The list is unmoderated so you can post
anything you like but I would prefer that we all use some discretion and
consider the appropriateness of what we post to a list like this.

I don't mind the occasional digression.

Best wishes,
Jim
