(...) I suspected that someone would comment like this. I meant no offence when I posted, and auctually I find your comments childish. At least my questions were sincere and not sarcastic.

Re: Question How do we know if Brad is for real? —Larry Pieniazek

Doyle, I think David's point is, how do we know anything with 100% certainty? Without going too deeply into epistimology (we HAVE done just that on off-topic.debate, you could review it if you're interested) I'd claim that we know things in general (...)

Re: Question How do we know if Brad is for real? —Larry Pieniazek

Good post, mostly. Right, mostly... Bask away, Jasper... (...) My take on that is that Brad himself has imposed a deadline of "summer" for things to start happening. A lot must be done between now and then for this thing not to be stillborn. (25 years ago, 2-Jan-00, to lugnet.dear-lego)

Re: Question How do we know if Brad is for real? —Doyle G. Nelson

Wow! I did have a lot of grammer and spelling mistakes! I think maybe I'll post just once a year? :-) Thank you Lar. Doyle (25 years ago, 2-Jan-00, to lugnet.dear-lego)

Re: Question How do we know if Brad is for real? —Larry Pieniazek

Re: Question How do we know if Brad is for real? —Jasper Janssen
