Rob, I said I was done with your part of this thread, but this is rather
a different subject and I wanted to let you know why I will be ignoring
any of your posts about technical subjects in the future.

Yes, I take technical subjects very seriously. I do not like to see
incorrect statements about scientific subjects, nor do I like to see
quantitative or well-supported arguments contradicted by ambiguities or
arm-waving (they should be contradicted by other quantitative methods
or by other well-supported arguments). You, on the other hand, appear
to make technical statements off-the-cuff without careful consideration
of whether they are correct or relevant. And then you get upset when
you get called on them, saying that the discussion is too serious and
is being made into a "pissing match". Whatever you want to call it,
the important thing in a technical discussion is that the correct
information is conveyed. Unfortunately, I think that in almost every
technical discussion we have had, save one, you have obfuscated the
issues rather than clarified them, and I would rather spend my time
learning than participating in such useless discussions.

So, that is why I will be ignoring your posts on technical matters in
the future. Now I really am done with your part of this thread.
