What I am referring to is that I see very little evidence in protracted arguments that you are willing to admit the possibility that you are perhaps even a little bit in the wrong. You determinedly cling to your views (which is certainly your right), regardless of other's arguments or evidence. In that sense, it is preferable that we don't waste your time (and other list-member's time) by interminable exchanges that achieve nothing and are not even entertaining. I think it is preferable just to let you "win" and get on with more productive discussions. Classic example of this was Erik's attempt at provocation with his fuck-posts. Please use your talents to contribute positively in the way that you can. Regards, Ray. _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
