Point taken Russell but I don't believe in age yet ;-). Concerning the statement quoted above: Why not reach out to Alain or his followers, get together with all the heavy Georgian and Russian folk, Block Esakia followers, Brent, Russell, Bruno, Telmo kicking ass, and after everybody wrestles to grok the other sides somewhat, see what happens? Maybe the thing will prove intractable for the time being or it won't. We never know until we try so why not just do that? Sitting around typing and crying about it for years won't clarify that: people could. Good faith, proper organization, appropriate resources could.
