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. -- "Erik Reuter" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.erikreuter.net/ _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
