I think that's fair comment: questions about the psychological reality of mental representations are a bit of a stretch, given Ernst-August's original question.

It would be possible to start a new thread on, say, the importance or otherwise of a realist view of mental representation for relevance theory, always (please) bearing in mind our guideline on subject matter:

What I am more worried about as moderator is that the temperature seems to be rising. Please bear in mind another of our guidelines, and keep the discussion away from personal remarks about other list members. (And -- it should go without saying -- keep it friendly and supportive of other list members _especially_ when disagreeing with their views).

Thanks and best wishes to all,
