I can't say that you've said anything that would lead me to believe you have a sincere, intellectually honest desire to address the arguments, and I don't think you've refuted anything about step 3. The much easier read is that you've got some kind of an axe to grind and enjoy being a contrarian. I've enjoyed a lot of what you've written over the years, and you do keep people honest, but your fetish for certainty makes for dull, circular arguments that go nowhere. Just my 2 cents, take or leave. Terren -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
