I’m surprised that you’ve forgotten that, John! Newbies like Don may not
realise it yet though... Hence this public service announcement. :-)

I haven’t forgotten, Lar! I was in “mock mode” with my comment with no
intention whatsoever in engaging Scott on these topics.

Whereas I usually concur with you, Larry, it seems as of late that Scott had
developed a debate style in which his points are backed up and cited, as is
hte case with this particular arguement.

I love the notion here in this group that if one produces a cite, it somehow
validates an idea. Reminds me of the knock on the Bible that you can cite it to

It’s not a refutation, but a mock! I’m tired of his stupid ideas on these
topics and I will resort to mocking him when he brings them up rather than bang

I would agree that
had there been a legitimate refution of the points and Scott went down the
‘stylish’ path that he’s known and loved for in the past, it would be at that
point where I’d have written off his arguement as hopelessly rhetorical.
At this point in the discussion, the rhetoric is not coming from ‘Camp Scott’
and, lately, Scott hasn’t played that card.
I wait with anticipation to the continued discussion.

You will wait in vain.
