It contains no facts, no experimental results, no logical arguments. It DOES contain innuendos, delusions of persecution, claims of Divine Right, and all the other Good Stuff that we've come to expect here. The only purposes that I can find for this entire point of view are 1. Mr. Jolly has been bitten with the bug that "if I can come up with a logical argument, then it must be right". Note that this is the same thing that he is complaining about. 2. Mr. Jolly likes to start arguments, and doesn't really care what they're about. I suspect the second. -- __ -- Steve / / \ / "Truth is stranger than S. G. Smith I \ O | _ O \ I fiction because fiction smith@cos.com / \__/ / has to make sense."
